These Russian names
WDYT? Not in any specific context (like, for an English child, or something other than for a Russian kid, just as names in general). I’ve been thinking about these a lot lately:
Alexandra
Anastasia
Taisiya
Maria
Daria
Tatiana
Vera
Valentina
Sophia“For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been and there you will long to return.” - Leonardo da Vinci

The only one I like out of these is Maria. There are some lovely Russian female names, but none of these are my cup of tea.I know you haven't asked, but Russian names I like are:Polina
Susanna
Aglaya
Evgeniya
Zinaida
Katerina
Katyusha

SophiaI likeMaria - probably wouldn't use myself, but it's nice
Daria - I like the diminutive "Dasha" better
Vera - I like it as a nickname for Veronica
Valentina - again, probably wouldn't use it personally, but I like itI'm meh onTaisiya - it sounds like it could almost be a short form of Anastasia, but not quite
Tatiana - honestly I don't know why I don't like it much, because I'm usually all about -ana names

Alexandra - Love it. One of my favourite names.
Anastasia - Not a fan. I don't like the sound of it or the nicknames for it either.
Taisiya - New to me. Not impressed with it.
Maria - Common and dull.
Daria - Maria's dull cousin .
Tatiana - It's grown on my in recent years due to my love of Romanov history and it being my great great grandmother's name.
Vera - Boring.
Valentina - Neutral. Not sure if I like or dislike it.
Sophia - Too common and boring.
