I think this is an interesting name with an odd kind of beauty to it. I don't know why, but it appeals to me. Yevpraksiya is much nicer than the English pronunciation of Eupraxia.

This is probably the only Russian name I really hate. It sounds like a learning disability or a speech impediment - terrible associations for a name!
