[notagoodwife]

What names can work well in both Russia and England. Please could I have male and female suggestions. Not Ana

Katya
Sofya
Sonja
Rodion

Wouldnt it also be spelt Tanja if it were Russian?

No. It’s spelled Таня. Often transliterated as Tanya or Tania. There are often spelling differences with even quite common Russian names and their non-Cyrillic form.

Larissa

Marianna

[quote Changechangychange]@Liquorishtoffee it’s a tapped T, so closer to “Danya”.

Tanya also gets pronounced as Taaarrrn-yuh a lot in the UK, whereas in Russian it’s a short “a” to rhyme with can, not long “ah” like car.[/quote]
Drives me nuts. My dad named me after a real person who was actually Russian.

Pronouncing it 'tarrrrr nyah' is done to me daily by people I don't know. It's very rude.
