I have SEEN Marianna or, if you like, Марианна, listed as a rare name, but one in use in Russia. This woman is one example: Marianne Pistohlkors. Her real name was Marianna Erikovna Pistohlkors, she was born and raised in Russia and was connected to the royal family. Her father was apparently ethnically German, but one who spoke Russian as his native language. Unless you happen to be an expert in Russian etymology, I suggest you leave it alone. -- Bookworm857158367 ( talk) 16:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I have to agree with the owner of this page here, Bookworm. I know you've had your fights and you're a tough scrapper--I admire. Here, however, I think you ought not throw into people's faces that you are allegedly some kind of expert in Russian language and history. You have an abrasive way of stating things that you think may be correct. This Mariana issue is one of them. I'd say YOU'D best leave this issue alone--you are beginning to remind me of Aggiebean! 76.195.83.61 ( talk) 14:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Usage: Italian, English, Hungarian, Slovak, Polish, Greek Other Scripts: Μαριαννα (Greek)". There is no Russian in the list. -- RussianSpy ( talk) 12:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
