Russian Names and their Nicknames This page will help you to learn the popular Russian Girl's names with their nicknames, pet names and abbreviations. In Russian, the nicknames are just the shorter versions of the full names. The pet names are often used by family and close friends. Still, when seen at first, they could be quite confusing. They work the same way as in English, for example: Michael = Mike, Richard = Rick, Elizabeth = Beth or Liz, etc. If the name you are looking for is not here, let us know. Note: while pronouncing the names stress the underlined vowel (sound). There is also a pronunciation guide for your convenience. Do you remember Elton John's song Nikita? You wont see that name here because it is actually a man's name. - Sorry to let out your secret Elton! If Nikita writes to you guys, I would be a bit worried if I were you.
