Slavic names popular in Russia

Actually, none of the names in this section are really popular in Russia, except Lyubov, Nadezhda, Svetlana, and Vera for girls, Boris and Vladimir for boys. Most of those names could have been popular about ten or eight centuries ago. (Vsevolod and all names ending on -slav, except very antique Iziaslav, still live, but they are rather rare).

Here is the link about top names chosen for the newborns: http://deti.mail.ru/roditeljam/samye_populyarnye_imena_novorozhdennyh_v_moskve_sofiya_i_aleksandr/. As of 2012, the most popular female names are Sofia, Maria, Anastasia, Anna and Daria, and the most popular male names are Alexander, Artem, Maxim, Ivan and Dmitry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.25.58.33 (talk) 19:01, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is specifically about names with Slavic origins. Alexander is a common Russian name with a Greek origin, thus out of consideration. You might want to compare and contrast this article with Eastern Slavic naming customs Ahyangyi (talk) 14:13, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a bit of formatting

The section on single-lexeme names needs to be re-formatted so that it can fit next to the infobox. As it is, it is causing a big gap in the middle of the article. I don't know how to do this. Leschnei (talk) 22:45, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many names given folk etymology

By clicking on many of the names one can find a more proper explanation (which usually traces back to PIE and is thus at least somewhat convincing since people actually put some academical research behind that). Many of the explanations listed in this article are folk etymologies. Ahyangyi (talk) 14:15, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

saints

The table of saints is a mess, containing many hidden fields (mostly about patronage), and it's unclear what belongs with what. I'll try to clean it up but will probably get some things wrong. —Tamfang (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
