<a href="https://nameberry.com/baby-names/185/Russian-Names">Russian names</a> for boys range from the familiar (Nikolai, Ivan, Vladimir), to the under-the-radar (Matvei, Leonid, Rodion), to the utterly unknown (Timofel, Innokenti, Yelisei).
 
Along with Nikolai and Ivan, other Russian boys’ names that have featured in the US Top 1000 in recent years include Valentin and Dimitri. Baby boy names popular in Russia include Mikhail — the Russian variation of Michael — Kirill, Maksim, Lev, Roman and Alexei.
 
All of these Russian boys’ names share a certain special power and energy — the Russian "strong man" image in baby name form, if you like.
