[Facts] Re: Usage of Russian nicknames, diminutives and pet forms
QuoteThe list is great (I'm also searching for a reliable index of Russian names, including the archaic ones) [...]
You might like the Russian names section at Kurufin.ru:http://kurufin.ru/html/Rus_names/rus_a.html (in Russian)All the names are neatly listed alphabetically, and in tables. If you wish to learn more about a name, simply click on the colourful book icon on the right side of a name. Wherever possible, they provide etymological information, which I find is usually correct.You might also be interested in Dictionary of Period Russian Names by Paul Wickenden of Thanet:http://heraldry.sca.org/names/paul/ (in English; scroll down to 'Personal Names' in the table of contents)As you can see, it is an English source that primarily deals with archaic Russian names that are no longer in use today. It also provides the meaning of a name wherever it can, but in a less detailed manner than the Russian website I just mentioned above. Often it will just tell you the meaning without explaining the etymology, which leaves you no choice but to do some additional research yourself (e.g. figure out yourself if it comes from Greek or Latin). The meaning provided is usually correct, though.
