[Opinions] Re: Names for characters from my book
Novikoff is ok only if the family emigrated more than a hundred years ago (or pretends to be).
Otherwise it looks anachronistic.My PNL http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/111792

Oh okk. But Tatiana's family came to France in 1990s
In that case, Novikova (feminine form of Novikov) would sound more realistic.
Or just Novikov, The name of Tatiana's mother is Anaïs Novikov (nee Morin). She is a French woman, but she married a Russian man.
