HelpRe: Names (mostly Russian) on my mind
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Allochka - mmmf, not a fan, even as a nickname - it sounds like allotment
Apollinariya - really pretty
Boyka - nice but I also hear 'boycott'
Franka - something about it which I like... I guess it has a musty Teutonic/Slavic feel, especially with this spelling
Galina - also pretty
Nadejda - well, I like this name but not the spelling, it makes me want to say 'na-day-da' instead of 'na-dyezh-da'
Valentina - as in Monetta, it's grown on me
Zaharina - cool
Zhannochka - see Allochka, although I was once considering Zhanna as a mn
Alojzy - awkward but cool
Ilya - pretty

Thank you! Nadezhda is probably more intuitive, you're right.
