Olga and Tatiana shared a room and were known as "The Big Pair." Maria and her younger sister Anastasia were known within the family as "The Little Pair."  The four girls sometimes signed letters using the nickname OTMA, which was derived from the first letters of their first names.

“Maria cries unashamedly on my shoulder while I whisper and pet her cheek, but Anastasia grips my other hand and stares fiercely back at our Alexander Palace with her wet blue eyes until it is no more than a lemon-colored speck against the sunrise.”  ― Sarah Miller, The Lost Crown

Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna with their only son, the heir to the Russian Throne, Tsarevich Alexei, who would have turned 111 today (born August 12 1904).

‘”An unforgettable and great day, on which we received so evident a sign of God’s love. At a quarter past one in the afternoon Alix had a son, who was named Alexei during prayers. Everything proceeded at a remarkable pace. As always I was with Mamma in the morning then I joined Alix to eat Half an hour later the happy event took place. No words are adequate to thank God for the consolation he has bestowed on us in this year of difficult tribulations.” - the Tsar on the birth of his son in his diary

Never did I believe there could be such utter happiness in the world-such a feeling of unity between two mortal beings. No more separations. At last united, bound for life, and when this life is ended we meet again in the other world and remain together for Eternity. — Empress Alexandra Feodorovna in her husband’s diary, 1894
