A survey conducted by U.S. website BabyNameWizard.com among tens of thousands of its visitors has proven the sexiness of Russian names, putting two of them in the top 10.
The survey, whose results were published Monday, showed two lists of male and female names considered to be the "sexiest" or the "least sexy."
Natalya, one of the most widespread Russian names and a common nickname for Russian girls traveling abroad, took third place in the sexiest list between French-sounding Nicolette and Anais.
Dmitry was sixth for men's most attractive names. The least attractive men's name was the popular American nickname Bob.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
