Ok, so as some of you may have noticed, names are a changin' in my stories (as outlined in my last journal). Well, in the story entitled So This Is What It's Like... I introduce Petra "Grimm" Kurlienko, well her new name that she'll be known by is Sof'ya Iosifovna Golovka or "Ursatz", once she is mated to Kemikal she'll change her last name to Golovka-Petrova.

To explain the naming of these three, it's rather simple.

FIRST NAMES the first name, same in most culture
Sof'ya
Nikolay
Pyotr

PATRONYIC NAMES this is the name of the father with a suffix meaning 'son of' or 'daughter of' added
father is Iosif, so Iosifovna is the name used
father is Sergey so Sergeyivich is the name used
father is Vyacheslave so Vycheslavich is the name used

FAMILY NAME simply the last name
Golovka, for males it would be Golovko
Petrov, used for both Indy and Kem as they are considered brothers.
Once Kountrfit and Kem are mated, the female form of Petrov, Petrova is added to Golovka making her last name Golovka-Petrova.

DIMUNITIVE NAME a nick name, like my first name is Gabriel, but Gabe will be used by my friends
Sof'ya = Sonya
Pyotr = stays the same or Peter
Nikolay = Kolya

"FUR" NAMES these are the names they go by in The Damned and also on a more regular basis
Inadvertant/Indy
Kemikal/Kem
Ursatz/Ursa

Hope this helps to clarify things in later stories, which my current projects include:
A Little History Lesson
Blood Born and the True Born
Endorphin: Hour of Dawn chapter 2
