Help[Opinions] Re: Petrova
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Is it "pet-ROH-va" or "PET-ro-vah"? I like it. I went through a phase once where I loved using the surnames of artists as first name options, and Petrova reminds me of Popova (from Lyubov Popova). So Petrova fills me with colourful, frenetic, modern, poppy energy. For that reason I'm not keen on Margaret Willow with it, since those two names have such a calm, stoic beauty.
Here's some different ideas (I'll try working with three-namers):
Petrova Rachel Zoe
Petrova Gwen Poppy
Petrova Bridget Azalea
Petrova Veronica Daphne
Petrova Tabitha Iris
Petrova Ivy Ramona
Petrova Mavis Irene
Petrova Helene Magdalena
Petrova Ruby Simone
Petrova Zinnia Lucy
Petrova Cleo Roxanne
Petrova Vivian Stella

I suddenly started doubting my usage of the pet-RO-va pronunciation when you mentioned PET-ro-vah, so I just did a little bit of research and found that it is the former, pet-RO-va, thankfully. I very much like your description of Petrova's energy / vibe, and I think you've managed to pinpoint exactly why it doesn't work with Margaret Willow.
Your suggestions are fabulous, too! I don't even think I could pick out a favourite, though I'm rather drawn to Petrova Tabitha Iris and Petrova Ivy Ramona right now. Thank you! :)

Actually, both pronunciations are correct, depending on which Slavic language you're referring to.
