When browsing catalogues with
ads of Russian
women, you will notice that some names appear again and again: Irina,
Julia, Elena, Natalia, Olga, Svetlana... There is nothing wrong with
it. Also, the same Russian name may be spelled in English in different
ways, so don't be confused if she spells her name slightly differently
every time.
Read about
different
variations and spellings of the most common female names, and you can
even see how her name looks in Russian!
