Dimitri is impressive. Dima (deema) seems to be the most common nn. Has anybody mentioned Boris?! It's the name of London's Lord Mayor - Boris Johnson. Sounds better pronounced the Russian way than to rhyme with Doris.
I like Ivan's nn Vanya, but it's liable to be mistaken for feminine in the West.
