I'm looking for misspellings in the Greek/Cyrillic text. If you could skim through your respective pages in the database and point out misspellings that would be very helpful.Greek:

There's an obvious misspelling: there's no Russian name Alyusha (nn for Alexei), it should be Alyosha (or simply Lyosha).
Also, names like Irinoushka or Annoushka are not just nicknames, they are very gentle forms, rarely used in everyday life. The nn for Irina is Ira, nn for Anna is Anya.

I speak Ukrainian........and I have to say pretty much all the spellings seem right... It's kinda interesting though.... Some of those names could have made my jr. high ukrainain teacher faint.He had this thing about re-naming everyone in his class so they had Authentiy Ukrainian names and so I, Kelsey, became Alina (my middle name is Lynn), My Brother Evan became Ivan and my youngest brother Ben became.....**drumroll please** ....Boris!

Thanks for taking a look... Just curious, which names would have shocked your Ukrainian teacher the most?
