Russian names

Since you are so interested in names, I decided to tell how Russian names work. Russians have the first name, the last (family) name and the father’s name. The first name often has long and short forms. The long form is what you have in your documents and what you are called in official occasions. Short form is what people usually call you. Here are some typical Russian names with long and short forms: Male Александр - Саша Дмитрий - Дима/Митя Алексей - Лёша/Алёша Сергей - Серёжа Иван - Ваня Евгений - Женя Павел - Паша Михаил - Миша Владимир - Вова Артём - Тёма

Female Анастасия - Настя Екатерина - Катя Анна - Аня Мария - Маша Дарья - Даша Юлия - Юля Ольга - Оля Елена - Лена Наталья/Наталия - Наташа Татьяна - Таня

Last names for males and females have different endings. In most of them you just have to add -а to a male last name to make it female. If the male name ends with -ий, than female last name would have -ая instead of -ий. The male version of my last name is Пожарский, but I’m a female, so I’m Пожарская.

I remember my grandparents were stopped at the airport in the US in 1999 when the officer noticed the difference in the last names. He started asking questions and didn’t let them go until they managed to explain the idea of he Russian language to him.

The father’s name. We don’t usually use words like Mister/Herr/Monsieur/Senor etc. We have Господин, but it’s too old-fashioned and used only in official letters. Instead we use father’s names. If you adress to your teacher, professor, boss, someone who’s older than you (everyone who is Вы), you’d call them their name + their father’s name.

So, how to make a father’s name? Instruction for boys: You take the name (long form) and you’ll see that it has a consonant or й as an ending. If it’s consonant, than just add ович (Иван - Иванович). The stress doesn’t change. If it ends with й, than you change й into е and add вич, that is almost the same (Сергей - Сергеевич). Vladimir V. Putin’s Russian name is Владимир Владимирович Путин. Dmitriy A. Medvedev’s Russian name is Дмитрий Анатолиевич Медведев (Prime-Minister) Instruction for girls: You take the name (long form) and you’ll see that it has a consonant or й as an ending. If it’s consonant, than just add овна (Иван - Ивановна). The stress doesn’t change. If it ends with й, than you change й into е and add вна, that is almost the same (Сергей - Сергеевна). Valentina V. Tereshkova would be Валентина Владимировна Терешкова (first woman in Space) Maria U. Sharapova’s Russian name is Мария Юриевна Шарапова (tennis player)

So now you know what Russian names look like.

I was almost a snow princess.

When I was born my Russian parents were about to name me "snezhana" which means "snow princess" in English. But then they realized no American could pronounce it. And with that, the baby girl who was about to be a frickin snow princess was named something else. But my friends tease me and call me "snow princess bitch" for no reason sometimes and I love it.
