Russian names are a kind of a game
There's a first and a last and a middle name.
Giving the first name is the mama's chore
Like Boris, Alexander Or Fyador.
The last name comes from the family
Like Pushkin, Basylrov Or Porfiry.
With the middle name, now here comes the fun
The papa gives his first name to the son.
He then adds an -ovich or -yevich to the end
Here's an exampe so you comprehend:
The papa's name is Sonov, now here's the switch
The kid's middle name is Sonovovich.
Yes, the kid's middle name is Sonovovich!
Yeah!
