ArchivesRe: Russian/Belorussian Girl's name: a search
in reply to a message by Elfstone
well yes, our NNs differ from American for example, but Belorussia, Russia and Ukraine use the same names and NNs so Veta works for Belorussian lady too.
As for Vika/Vita, i'd say that all Viktorias that I know go by NN Vika.. Vita is less popular and I knew only one Vita (i was 5 at that time :)) And I'm not sure if she was Viktoria or Vitalina.
And I like Vika much more than Vita, maybe because "Vita" resembles of the masculine name Vitaliy..

Lena, future mum to Alexandra and Lev.
Maybe there also will be Emiliya, Max or Inna.
