Russian Names

This is just something interesting I happened across. It's a website with a collection of popular Russian names (and some variants), and their etymologies. I love learning about etymology, and it's fascinating to see where some of these names come from. At a glance, it seems that many of what we think of as "traditional Russian names" are of a Greek origin.
