baby names
harpy:
Uh, I do not think these are nice names.
Well the Aleksander one is nice, it could be made in really nice short names like Sasha. Sasha is my favourite Slavic names anyhow. But I heard that in some countries it could be a girls name as well.
But Ekaterina (unless you make it into Katya) is kind of annoying and poor girl ought to get teased a lot with that kind of name. It sounds like and old ladies name, and I haven't met any young person with such name. Get another Slavic name for girl. Name her something like Victoria or Natalia or Alena or or what ever else.
Here is a nice long list of Slavic names. You ought to find something nice in there.

Heh, my mom tried to think of girl names that are very "international" and and will not be seen as weird in other countries. Thus I ended up in having 2 sisters called Maria and Victoria.

I still do not understand all that "international" name thing. Its nice to have a name that fits place one lives in or culture you belong to where ever you are.

Apart from the fact, that the world is getting more and more "international" or globalized, whatever you want to name it.
I personally don't really like the name Alex + all longer versions and variations of it, but that's just my personal preference.
Ekaterina on the other hand is a nice slawic name which is not that much used in western countries.
I would always look for a name that's not overused, but it should also be a name which doesn't give chance for strange and hurting nicknames later in school, since your child will have to live it's whole life with that name, not you ;)
Another thing you have to remember is: a child has normally two parents, you should both be happy with the name ;)
I myself haven't really thought about a name for a boy yet, but a name for a girl on my list would be Valerie.
Btw: It's Katharina in Germany ;)
