Hello XoSexierDenYewXo!\nYou mean you are from Makedonija?\n(Slav Macedonia?) I am from Greece! \nYou can mail me if you like!\nWish you the best!\n{Do not confuse the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia or Macedon (which was the birth place of Alexander) with the modern state of Makedonija (or FYROM or Slav Macedonia as they are not related at all). The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with real Macedonia in Greece.}\nFor ovichichka:\n"My friend,\nI made a small comment about the use of the Greek name Macedonia. Just to prevent any confusion with real Macedonia in Greece! It is not about politics but it is about History. There isn't any hate from my side but only friendship!"

what a stupid question. What constitutes a "strange name". Maybe the name "Smith" or "Jones" is hilarious in some languages

With all that goes on in the world I can't believe someone would pick on someone over their birthname.  He is Russian and the name is prounounced Sha-tann.  He can't help how it looks.  I really do believe at times some people have way too much time on their hands.

I believe that would be Russian. Typically names ending in "sky" are of Russian decent.

Actually, St. Petersburg was not named after Peter the Great, as one up assumes, that is actually incorrect.  The name of St. Petersburg comes from a St. Peter who lived in the United Provinces of the Netherlands in the Holy Roman Empire who Peter the Great had admired.  Since Peter the Great was looking for a way to open Russia to the West, he chose to bring European culture to Russia from the western countries.  In fact the Russians call it "Sankt Petersburg", which is actually German, not Russian.  "Petrograd" would be the Russian pronunciation of the city's name, (or Svyatiy Petrograd in full).\n\nAs for Leningrad, Vladimir Ulyanov needed a new name to call himself that represented the people of Russia, and it was suggested that he name himself after the Volga River, which would have named him 'Vladimir Volgin.'  But he chose a far eastern river, the Lena River, which named him Vladimir 'Lenin.  It was after Lenin died that St. Petersburg was renamed Leningrad in his honor.  And the name was applied to the oblast which surrounds the city.  Now that the Soviet Union dissolved, the city was renamed Sankt Petersburg.

I know that in Russia and other eastern European countries, babies are given a middle name that is the derivative of their father's first name.  \n\nExample: Father's name is Mark, Male child's middle name will be Markovich, female child's middle name will be Markovna..      \n\nWhy? It may have started in order to honor the father, or better yet, identify the father of the children!
