Help[Opinions] Re: A Russian first name a Vietnamese girl who lives in Russia could use
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
If you're aiming to keep a connection to Tuyết’s Vietnamese heritage while still making the name more accessible in Russia, a combination of a Russian first name with a Vietnamese middle name could also work well, e.g., Tatyana Mai or Anastasia Lan.
Ultimately, Tatyana is a solid choice, as it’s distinctive, widely known in Russia, and has an elegant feel that could suit your character’s journey in a new country.

In Russia most people, even non Russians, use a patronymic form of their father's first name.
Her father's name is Anh. Her middle name would be Anovna in Russia (no h because Cyrillic).

Ohhh, I see! So her name would be Tatyana (if you’d use that) Anovna. Am I correct?
Tatyana Anovna Chan
(Chan comes from Trần, which is pronounced like Chan)
