We had a Svetlana first. I'll share the second name when we are complete - I'm a little superstitious!

Hi!

Our first referral that we lost was Vera. Our daughter was and is named Anastasia. Ana for short.

We had friends whose daughters name was Sergeyevna while in Russia.

Our daughter was and still is Anastasia. She was called Nastia in Russia, but we used her full name now.

I haven't received my referral yet, but I have several friends in Russia. Their names are Nina, Marina, Oxana, Yulia, Sveta (Svetlana), Olga... they all seem to end with "a".

Well, we have a boy, but in Russia we met many little girls at the hotel. We met Viktoria, Svetlana , Oksana , Aleksandra. These were their Russian names, not all names were kept.

Ah...that will be revealed on or after the 22nd...but they start with "A" in Angliski! And they are the same names as in Russian...other than the change in alphabet and a minor tweek to hopefully insure "proper" pronounciation.
