Russian Names

Bounced the idea off of another topic, but does anyone know of any Russian names that aren't too overwhleming ? Being Russian I've heard some good and bad & I'm pretty sure I have a boys name picked out (not Russian), but no girls names, but.still willing to hear both .

Some I like are:
Boy- Yuri, Nikolai
Girl- Milena, Natalya

    My boss is Roxolana. She's fantastic and she goes by Rox and it totally fits. I believe she is Ukrainian though so it's not an exact match.

    I like Alexander with the nn of Sasha.  Works well in English and Russian. 

    I like Ivan or Mikhail, vs names like Boris and Vladmir, which can be overwelming.  Yuri is cute too.

    I like Alexander a lot, especially with the nn Sasha, but Ive always put it at the bottom because to make it Russian, you would have to spell it that way... Which I can't stomach ... Aleksandr.

    Like Mikhail too !

    I love Milena! Similarly, Elena is pretty.

    Have you considered Sonya? I love the character in Crime and Punishment. And since it's such an international name, it doesn't feel "overwhelmingly Russian."

    I also love Valentina, which has that same international usage going on. So, so pretty.

    (comes out of lurking)
    :\">
    Girl names with more or less international usage/easy pronunciation:
    Marina, Margarita, Sofia, Katerina, Olga, Irina, Alina, Lilia, Tatiana
    Boys:
    Dmitri, Andrei, Pyotr, Grigory, Vadim, Roman... drawing a blank :)
    Nikolai is great; Yuri, while I like it in Russian, is a popular Japanese girl name - which would put me off. HTH!
