Another Russian name I have been really loving: Nikolai! I used to love it as a middle name for Chase, cause it made Chase feel more masculine lol. But now, I'm absolutely loving it as a first name! Sometimes I kinda wonder if people might say nick-oh-lie when it's really neek-oh-lie, but I doubt that'd be a big issue
So what are your thoughts on these? Thanks for all opinions!!!

I'm really into Slavic languages, so I'm kind of biased.....
Katya is really cute. And, of course, I love the name Nikolai with the nickname Niko.

I've been raiding Russian names at the moment, cause I really adore the sound of Nikolai! So I was hoping that maybe I could find other Russian names that are alike and maybe even perfect!
Katya I think would make an adorable sib set with Nikolai! I mean, Nik/Niko and Katya!!!
Well, being you like slavic languages, do you have any personal favorites from those languages? I'd love to hear of them if so! <3

I think Katya would age better than Katie as well.
And sibs Katya and Nikolai are AMAZING!!

Hahaha, I haven't even thought of calling him Niko! I just thought, oh, I'll probably call him Nik hehe <3

Let's see....for girls I like Ayn, Lena/Lina, Marina, Natalia, Sasha, and Misha. For boys I like Arkady, Dmitri, Jasha, Malachi, Mikhail, Pasha, Sergey, Victor, and Mischa (and Nikolai of course).

Katie does seem sadly popular, and I guess I don't Luke it as much as Katya anyways... Though Katya really does seem to age well! Yet it is unique
And as for the suggestions, I quite like Lena, Natalia and Sasha! Arkady, Malachi and Pasha are handsome!!!! Is it bad to kinda like Pasha for a girl? Hmm, maybe that's a random moment thing, cause now I kinda really do like it on a boy
Fickle, fickle...
But I was thinking Katya and Nikolai would make a great sib set! I'm glad I'm not the only one! They both have such a great feel I think! <3
Haha, though, is it wrong to use so many Russian like names when I don't have even the tiniest bit of Russian in my blood? :\ would it be like, offensive to overload on them or something to Russian people? Like, I'm not quite sure what I'm thinking... It's almost midnight, don't mind me!

Katya and Nikolai would make an awesome sibset!
Hmmmm, I only know of one Pasha, who is a boy, so it's pretty much masculine to me, but I can definitely see how it sounds like a girl name. I still like it, though!
I don't think it's wrong at all! You can say that your Great-great-great-great grandfather's cousin emigrated from Russia, and you wanted to honor him! (Supposedly I'm related to a Russian czar )

HAHA! You could always hold out for a Russian Prince!
A few years back I would have said yes...but the US is such a "melting pot" though I believe they've renamed it a "tossed salad" with so many different cultures meshed together. (though the US hasn't really changed just my opinions) NOW, I dont see a problem using names from a different nationality/culture if you really love the names.

But tehehe! I'll go marry a Russian prince! I could certainly go for someone with money!
But true true, we really are a melting pot... Soon to be a tossed sales of either your a melting pot or your Mexican (not to say i have problems with mexicans lol! I just dislike illegal immigration...)
