  Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Russian Names - Grammar
Russian naming conventions for mid to late period are first name, patronymic, and surname" (1989: 4).
Russian names, as should be apparent, underwent a large number of transformations.
Names ending in -a or -ia are changed to -y and -i respectively and those names ending in -ii or -oi change to -ego or -ogo.

 pronunciationguide.org: Russian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The intricacies of correct Russian pronunciation are often obscured in the transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin letters, nevertheless there is an accepted standard of "Americanized" Russian that is not at all difficult to grasp.
Always remember that when you read a Russian name on a CD or LP cover (unless it's the Melodiya label and you know how to read the original Cyrillic), you're reading a transliteration: the Latin letters are put together artificially to reproduce the sounds of the name.
The patronymic is a middle name derived from the name of the person's father by adding -ovich or -evich for sons and -ovna or -evna for daughters.

 Spelling Russian Name In Period English
As such, all Russian personae in the SCA are presumed to be travelling away from home and thus would have seen their names spelled by foreign scribes in Latin alphabets.
Gorbachev's name, pronounced by a native speaker, is likely to sound like it should be written out as "Garbichov" (the stress lies on the last syllable, where the "e" in fact has an umlaut on it) in a truly phonetic transliteration.
The most common place for him to notice their sound is at the end of words and names (which is natural enough, as that is where they would be most audible) but he occasionally records them in other locations in a word or name.

 Behind the Name: Russian Names
The complete Russian name is formed of a given name, patronymic, and a family name, in that order.
Russian given names are often taken from the names of saints, especially those from Eastern Orthodox tradition, which are often of Greek origin.
Russian names are normally written in the Cyrillic alphabet, the usual alphabet of the Russian language.

 The Russian Name -- Handle with Care
The Russian name consists of three parts -- the forename (imya), the patronymic (otchestvo), and the family name (familya).
The family name also creates some problems for writers who are not themselves Slavists, as certain classes of family names show a similar alternation of forms between masculine and feminine.
The level of familiarity connoted by the use of the given name in American speech would be indicated in Russian speech by the use of a shortened form of the forename, the diminutive of casual familiarity.

This article is not intended as a replacement for a dictionary of names, but as a guide containing examples of names frequently encountered in certain period documents.
They were true "given names" early on, but beginning in the XIII century, when the number of Christian and non-Christian given names became about equal, the popularity of Old-Russian names began to decline, and they progressively became nicknames or secondary names (bynames).
Later, Russian names were added to the list of Russian canonical names, as we have shown with the example of the canonization of Vladimir I and his sons Boris and Gleb.

 The Russian Name List
Thus, 33 of the people named on this list could not possibly have been sent to the USSR because they returned home, their remains were recovered, they did not meet the date criteria established by the Russians, or they were known to have died in their loss.
Because the Russians did not provide the dates of incarceration associated with the names on their list, we have no way of knowning if the people in jail in Russia were jailed in 1922 or 1968 or some date in between.
Thus, when we find that 33 of the 39 names are men who could not be in a Russian prison, and when we have no way of double-checking dates, it becomes obvious to even a brain dead person that this "Russian 41 list" is of no value and has nothing to do with missing Americans.

 WIPO Domain Name Decision: D2002-0400
The name Milupa is composed of the first two letters of the names of these three persons.
The Complainant submits that (1) the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark, in which the Complainant has rights; (2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; (3) the domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith.
The Panelist considers therefore the submitted agreement relating to the establishment of an enterprise under the name "Milupa" to be an attempt to justify the registration of the domain name , which cannot be taken serious and therefore must fail.

 languagehat.com: RUSSIAN NAMES REDUX.
I'd take a two-track approach, the names of athletes and some other public figures are usually disseminated(sp?) by writing and it can happen that announcers have to talk about someone without having gotten a chance to know how that person pronounces their name.
But getting the stress on the natively-stressed ("right") syllable of a Russian name in a language with a similar stress system, such as English, seems reasonable enough, when the names are still taken to be Forren.
Just generally on the pronunciation of Russian names, and I'm no linguist, has nobody remarked that in many cases the last consonant like "ova" at the end of a Russian woman's name is in many ways similar to the "son" at the end of, say, Robertson.

 Name Generator
In general, a person born into a Spanish-speaking family is given a first name followed by two surnames, the first being the father's family name (or, more precisely, the surname he gained from his father) followed by the mother's family name (or, again more precisely, the surname she gained from her father).
So, if you choose Spanish or Russian (or any other name that needs more than two names), you will only get two names (as is done in United States), so you'll have to do it twice to get a second last name.

Post your name (first name will do, to keep your privacy) and I'll give you the Russian and/or Ukrainian equivalent, if there is one, and if there isn't then I'll write it in Russian and/or Ukrainian as it's meant to be written and pronounced.
Btw, most of Russian and Ukrainian translations will be very similar, if not the same, because our alphabets are very similar.
This is because in Ukrainian the letter "и" is then actually a different letter the Russian equivalent would be (of this letter) "ы" and the Ukrainian language doesn't have the letter "ы" in the alphabet at all so that's why it's different like that.
