Sorry, but that name is not Russian.
The book setting happens outside of Russia, and all characters
are not Russians.
Moreover, if you didn't know, - the book was written by Nabokov
in English, and only than translated to Russian by the authors.

Hello All,
I'd like to thank everyone for their ideas both on and off the list.
Those that were not useful made us smile, though I'm not sure we have
a conclusion as yet.
We now have a better idea of Russian names and will investigate the
names of the bells at our tower as well to see if any of t

"Sineva" meaning "The blue (sky)"?

Hi
I think I'll stop looking now. I just found:
http://www.bluebellcats.org.ua/cats.html
and here's what they say about Russian Blues:
"This is a unique bread (sic). We are still admire them."
Anyway, I hope you'll find a name you like and I trust you'll love
your cat the best you can =)
Cheers

Hi,
just some remarks,
In russian, tsaritsa would be correct.
Catherine is foreign name for russians that have been adapted as Katarina.

Hi,
as I already wrote, traditional russian female names should end with an "a".
BTW, a word "mig" means (besides the famous abbreviation for
Mikoyan-Gurevich airplanes) "moment" in russian.

Didn't the Czar order all church bells to be melted down to make

How about Lara or Larisa (from Dr Zhivago)?
Or Lubov, which means love? Nadezhda or Nadia, which means hope?
Or Anastasiya, which means resurrection? Or Svetlana, which means light?

Russian. Translated to modern English, it means "little laugh out loud".

How about "Catherine"? Tsarina is also cute and, for a cat, probably
appropriate.

how about looking for names of famous / historically relevant russian
church bells? I know many German church bells have names and many have
a long and well documented history so I'd think it would be much the
same for Russia

for her. We are buying her with money earned from ringing church
bells for weddings and thought that a bell related name would be

Russian.
