ArchivesRe: Need ideas on how a Russian male, military officer could be named Alexander Baranova
in reply to a message by Eisenmauer
The most realistic way of having a man named Baranova is letting his mother (who is a single mom) move (or travel) to a different country that doesn't use female suffixes for surnames. Than, when the boy would be born, he would get his single mom's surname on his birth certificate. There are examples of this IRL when sons of single mothers get a feminine form of a surname if they're born in a foreign country.
