I've been into Russian names ever since I started taking Russian, there are absolutely gorgeous.

I don't like a lot of Slavic names. They just don't tend to have a nice sound for me. The ones I like are:

---

Albena
Alexej
Aljona
Almedina - Not sure if this is Slavic or maybe Arabic or Muslim, since the girl I know with this name is from Bosnia.
Anna
Elena
Faina
Inessa
Ivan
Ivana
Jekaterina
Jelena
Jeva
Kalyna
Kateryna
Nadezhda
Nevena
Nikolaj

That's all I can think of right now.
