[Facts] RUSSIAN NAME HISTORY PROJECT
Hey, I'm a college student who is doing a project on Russian names and their meanings. I immediatly thought of this site, but I'm having a bit of a time. I'm seperating it into Ancient names, Soviet, and Post soviet. Mostly first names, I may add a blurb about patronymics. If you have any imput at all, email me at miss_rae2000@hotmail.comP.S. Please included russian spelling of names, if you can.

I remember reading about whacky socialist names such as "Locomotive" and "Five-year-plan" given to unfortunate children born during the not-so-gay Stalinist era :)
