Russian/Greek/Englishy name for DD

[Onmyhighchairhorse]

Come on then highbrow MNers. I need a name that will work in Russian and Greek and here in Blighto for DD due any day now. We have other DCs with these "crossover" names (can't list as terrified will be outed in RL - but lets say for example Nicholas/Alexander/Anna) but surprisingly hard to find acceptable girls names... Inspire me!

ps: It doesn't work in Russian I guess but I have always LOVED "H e r o" for a girl. I don't know why.

Oooh - orthodox saints! I'm off to look up her due date.. meanwhile loving Elena and Anastasia...
PS Freshmint - thats not a v.Greek MNnn!

Theodora Isodora Dora all good ones. not sure about larisa for a greek - its a place rather than a name. Nice in russian though.

Lara would work in Greece although it isn't really used - it is easily said.
