This may be a character for my story and I'm wondering what a good name would be that fits both cultures

Oh I think lots of names would work! African-American naming culture often likes names that are bit different from the norm, and lots of Russian names fit that style. I knew Black girls called Tatiana and Ludmila.Akilina

In Russian, it's a male name: think Nikita Krushchev.

Some Russian diminutives are used by African Americans as full name, e.g. Tanya, Dasha, Tonya, Tasha Other than this, maybe Maria?
