Lana wrote:: I don't think it is possible for us to stay on topic! Wasn't this topic originally for photos of ourselves? But we are talking about our imaginary children and making lists of how vain people are? Oh dear... hehe. But, it is fun!

Yes, sestrichka, we began the topic for photos, but.. it doesn't matter already! :kataus:

I enjoy talking about our imaginary children, representing Bulgaria and vain people!!! Laughing

Lana wrote:: How did I just know that you want to name your daughter Albena? It's a very lovely name, of course. Lara is really pretty, too. I used to always want to name my daughter, India. Strange, eh? For name... hmm... I like Chloe, Julia and Hannah. I think those are very lovely names. This is such a strange conversation, eh?

Strange?? maybe just a little premature, eh? :wink:

India.. wooow.. such a gorgeous, nice name.. :stari:

When I read that name, I've imagined your little India at once!!! She is adorable, sestrichka!!!! ohhhh

Wooooow

) and I'll be her Aunt, eh?? :kataus:

:livzy: Tetushka Lera :kataus:

You would laugh, but you forgot, that I liked Marina!! lol!

I like also Elise and Inga.. yeah, Hannah (but if I call my daughter Hannah in Russia it would sound verrry strange :kataus:

)

There are many nice names for a little girl.. :luvzy:

Boys???

Yeah, maybe premature is a better word! flower

Oh, you like the name India, too? :wink:

I've always thought that it was a pretty name. :surce:

It's a very unusual name here, too. Very Happy

And yes, you'd be Tetushka Lera. :kataus:

Obviously! :angel2:

hehe.

Marina? :kataus:

I should have known! No, I agree it is a gorgeous name. :luvzy:

It sounds very classy and pretty! Very Happy

Elise is also nice, but it is very commen in Ottawa. :respect:

It's true there are soooo many nice names for a little girl. heart2

For a boy, I have only ever liked two names. :blush2:

Alexander or Elijah. Wink

hehe. What names do you like, sestrichka? :angel2:

Elijah is like Ilia!!! hahaha :kataus:

Don't you like Maxim?? We would call him: "Maxiiiiiiiiiim". :kataus:

Apparently, it is fun, 'cause Albena likes to call him that way!!! Razz

I like Daniel, Nikita.. Dmitry is a nice name too.. nice

Alexander???? :kataus:

Ohhh, I'm going to believe about that real-size poster on your wall, sestrichka!!! lol!

Oh yeah... Embarassed

Elijah is the english version of Ilia. hmm... It sounds different, though. :wink:

Nooo!!!

Zhulin cannot have the same name as my imaginary child!!!! :kataus:

I've liked the name since before I even knew of Zhulin's existance. shocked

*grumbles* But, Lerka... there isn't a life-size poster of him. hehe.

I've already promised Chel-C that I will not name my future child, Maxim or Albena. Sad

Oohhh... it is so much fun to say, "Maxiiiiiim!!!!!" though! :kataus:

I can tell why Albena enjoys it! haha. :zy:

As for your names, Nikita is my favourite! Very Happy

I think it sounds very nice. nice

Of course, the others are good as well! :wink:

Names....

I like Vladimir a lot. In Romania we would call him Vlad but I prefer Vladimir...

There are so many gorgeous names...that I can't decide. I found so may names I'd like but I changed my mind..and so on....

So, have to think about this...again Wink

India is very interesting. I never thought about this as a name but i realise now it sounds really great, majestic and exotic..wow...I'm surprised.

We have Elijah and Ilia in Romania too....but it is ILIE..same, right?
Alexander is a great name (yes..I also like my name a lot Embarassed

even though it is common...I like it. Embarassed

) - luckily I don't asociate this name with zhulin..haha... shocked

sweet dreams

Lana wrote:: Oh yeah... Elijah is the english version of Ilia. hmm... It sounds different, though.

To tell the truth I liked the english version much more than our russian.. Rolling Eyes

Elijah sounds awesome! Razz

yes, I knew about it, sestrichka! :lmd:

I think we must rename Zhulin. Now! :kataus:

And I haven't promised that to anyone.. Razz

so, we must find another Maxim to enjoy callling him "Maxiiiim" lol!

One Maxim for Lana and another for Lerka! :kataus:

Alexandra wrote:: Alexander is a great name (yes..I also like my name a lot even though it is common...I like it. ) - luckily I don't asociate this name with zhulin..haha...

Lucky you! Smile

Alexander is very common in Russia, too. It's not my favourite name, though.
But I forget, I adore name Alexandra.. as name of a girl, of course! :blush2:

It is gorgeus.. I could call her Sasha.. I think it's so nice nice

Hi, about the names...
Me too, I like the name Alexander and Alexandra, it's a very popular name in BG. My name is Ivanka, but everyone calls me Vania, or Vanichka ... and so on, there are so many derivative names (if derivative is the right word confused

) In Russia Vania is a man name ( Rolling Eyes

) that's why in the guestbook I'm "Vanessa" Wink

But now, I think, everyone knows me, noone wouldn't think I'm a boy Laughing

hehe!
Here, in BG, there's a tradition to call your child after the name of his/her grandfather (grandmother). Well, it's only an old tradition, but sometimes the grandfathers are angry if the parents don't call the child after them Mad

it's stupid, eh?
I like also the name Cristina (my mom's name flower

) and Todor for a boy (I think it corresponds to Feodor in Russia, and to Theodor).
Bye!!!

Lerka wrote:: To tell the truth I liked the english version much more than our russian.. Elijah sounds awesome!

Me, too.

I think it sounds so interesting and unusual. :wink:

And no, I am not a big Elijah Wood fan. If any of you were wondering! :kataus:

hehe.

Quote :: yes, I knew about it, sestrichka! I think we must rename Zhulin. Now!

Yes, let's rename him! Immediately!!! Laughing

Did I tell you that Zhulin was always smiling at me and Chelsea, sestrichka? Shocked

It was so creepy. Eek.

Quote :: And I haven't promised that to anyone..
so, we must find another Maxim to enjoy callling him "Maxiiiim" One Maxim for Lana and another for Lerka!

There are no guys named Maxim here. So, evidently I must go to Russia! :respect:

"Lerka and Lana go on a crazy search around Moscow for Maxims" :zy:

It doesn't sound so unrealistic, actually. :blush2:

Ohhh, I like Vladimir as a name. Very Happy

It sounds so elegant and mysterious! :stari:

Very cool. Wink

Yeah, it is somewhat of a surprising choice for a name. :wink:

I've always thought that it was so pretty. :surce:

I have no clue where I got the idea of it from, though.

Quote :: We have Elijah and Ilia in Romania too....but it is ILIE..same, right?

The same.

And erm... it's great that you... umm... don't associate yourself with Zhulin! :kataus:

Thanks for telling us about that tradition! :wink:

I didn't know about it, before. flower

We have a very similar one, here. Children often are given the middle name of their grandparent. :stari:

It's a nice tradition, I think. Wink

But the grandfather getting angry if the child is not named after him... shocked

That's a bit dumb... nooo

Cristina and Todor are both very nice names! nice

I like them both. Wink

I like the Elijah version much more than Ilie and Ilia. Do you know any other Elijah besides Elijah Wood? Very Happy

haha...but I belive you that liking the name has nothing to do with the actor..
This is similar to John (english) - Ioan or Ion (romanian) - Janos (hungarian)...hehe. But I don't particulary like this names..Is there a corespondent in russian or bulgarian...hmm..I don't really know...

Wondering in Russia searching Maxims... lol!

What do you do after you find one? Razz

This name is not very often in Romania...maybe there are a few but they are having it as a last name....there is a very famous bulgarian violonist, also called Maxim Razz

Lana wrote:: The same. And erm... it's great that you... umm... don't associate yourself with Zhulin

Why do that?!?! shocked

I have the name before I knew Zhulin.....It's mine... lol!

kisses,
Alex

Actually, no. nooo

I don't believe I have ever met an Elijah in my life. Wink

And yes, it does have nothing to do with the actor. :zy:

I liked Lord of the Rings, but I don't want to name my child Frodo or Gollum. :kataus:

hehe.

Yes, what would we do once we found one? confused

Lerka, do you know? :kataus:

I haven't heard of the violinist named Maxim. :blink:

There is a fabulous pianist named Maksim Mrvica, though. Very Happy

He even did a version of Handel's Sarabande, which I quite like! hehe. :luvzy:

It was a joke, Alex. :kataus:

Yes, it is your name. Afterall, me and Lerka are going to rename Zhulin. Razz

Lana wrote:: It was a joke, Alex. Yes, it is your name. Afterall, me and Lerka are going to rename Zhulin.

Yep...know it was a joke. Very Happy

I was not offended or something. Hope I did not let that impression.. Sad

What's in a name?

Yes, I like Christina or Christie very much, too. And I like Todor. It's so nice nice

But I don't like the russian variant - Fiodor!!! Laughing

The problem is what to do when we find one. :kataus:

I personally think that all the Maxims of Moscow should be very, very afraid. :angel2:

Lerka, I think our plan needs some work! :kataus:

P.S. How is it that I am over 300 posts? :blink:

Woww... hehe.

alexandra wrote:: I like the Elijah version much more than Ilie and Ilia. Do you know any other Elijah besides Elijah Wood?

Oh, yes - Elijah Wood

I like too The Lord of the rings, as you. I love you

In BG it corresponds to ILIA, I think.

lana wrote:: I haven't heard of the violinist named Maxim.

me neither, who is this violinist, Alex? Is he Bulgarian? Sorry,
Embarassed

The BG musicians are more popular abroad, than here Crying or Very sad

IN BG there are Maxims too, not so many ... The Bulgarian Patriarch's name is Maxim, of course it's not his real name.

Maybe he is not that famous after all.... Embarassed

..hehe. I found some music made by him and i liked it so I've searched more. All I know is that he is bulgarian and I found an article in which he was described as very famous. I thought that people might now him...Don't worry, for example, I don't know much about romanian violonist or other musicians... Embarassed

Ohh...I forgot to tell you his name: Maxim Vengerov.

hmmm. I don't know really Embarassed

The only bulgarian famous violinist I know, it's Vasko Vasilev who used to be Vanessa Mae's first teacher, but Maxim Vengerov .... Maybe Lera or someone else could reveal this mystery confused

Bye and hugs! loveall

'cause I have no ideas.. scratch

for the moment.. Surprised

As for Maxim Vengerov.. Embarassed

Vania, I'm so sorry.. I have never heard about him, before.. so I can't help.. sorry Embarassed

I swear we are going to be in Moscow and phoning Albena on your cellphone. Laughing

"Albena, we've found a Maxim... Now what?" :kataus:

Think, Lerka!!! :zy:

We must think of a better plan, sestrichka! :lmd:

hehehe. This whole thing is too insane for words. Razz

Lana!!! It is such a Lana & Lerka's plan!!! Insane as usual!!!! :lmd:

But.. yes, let's think a bit. Albena shouldn't know how much insane we are, eh? :wink:

Maybe.. we will create another insane song, about Maxims... Rolling Eyes

and when we happen to meet Maxim, we could sing him a song about him!!!! :kataus:

yeah.. and poor Maxim will run away! 100 %!!! :kataus:

I don't have words fot all this... lol!

I don't think we've ever had a more Lana & Lerka plan. Laughing

I believe that we have outdone ourselves! :respect:

We've become more insane than usual! :lmd:

Yes, we must think about this for a while. :angel2:

Because, what would we possibly answer to Albena if she were to ask WHY we want a Maxim? Shocked

"Erm... because, we think saying 'Maxiiiiiiim!!!', like you do, seems like a lot of fun!" :kataus:

Oohhh!!! A new song!!! Wheee!!! :woow:

*Lana is bouncing* Poor, poor Maxim. I feel vaguely sorry for him. Razz
