Russians have very long names. Here are a few funny names: Ostrovsky, Brentim Bushonsky, Ryslov Limovich
p>Russian names generally consist of three stanzas. The first part is your name, the middle part is your father's name, and the last part is your surname. After a woman gets married, she takes her husband's surname.
For example, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, Ivan is his personal name, Ivanovich is his father's name, which means Ivan's son, and Ivanov is his surname. Most women's names end with Wa or Ya. Women usually use their father's surname before marriage, and often use their husband's surname after marriage, but their first name and father's name remain unchanged. For example, Nina Ivanovna Ivanova, Nina is her name, Ivanovna is her father's name, and Ivanova is her father's surname. If she marries Rogov, her surname will be changed to Rogov, and her full name will be Nina Ivanovna Rogova.
Russian names are usually arranged as first name, patronymic, and surname, but the surname can also be placed first, especially in official documents, that is, the names of the above-mentioned Ivan and Nina can be written as Ivan Nov Ivan Ivanovich, Ivanova Nina Ivanovna. Both the first name and the patronymic can be abbreviated by writing only the first letter.
Russians generally refer to each other by their surname or just their first name. To show courtesy and respect, the first name and patronymic name are used. For example, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov is called Ivan Ivanovich, and Nina Ivanovna Ivanov is called Nina Ivanovna Ivanov. The baby's honorific name is Nina Ivanovna. In particular, it shows respect for the elders, and some people only call their father's name. For example, people often call Lenin Ilyich (Ильич), and Lenin's full name is Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. Pet names are commonly used among family members and people with close relationships, such as Ivan's nicknames are Vanya (Bаня) and Vanyusha (Bанюша); Sergey (Cергей) is nicknamed Seryosha (Селеша) and so on.
