My second granddaughter was born today! Her name is Kira, and she is a big girl 🙂 I have no idea when I will be able to see her in person, but I saw her on google hangouts today.
I think she looks a lot like Anna!
It’s a Girl!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it. View all posts by Hettie D.

Thank you! We all love that name! And hopefully, it will be easy to pronounce for everybody 🙂

My former next-door neighbours have two girls named Natasha and Kira. The family has no Russian roots at all, they just liked the names 🙂 I assume they also wanted easy-to-pronounce names. “Kira” is pronounced a bit more like “Кыра” or “К-ра” but it works 🙂

Can confirm, this is happening to our Kira as well. It’s better than “Naderzhda”, though. 😉
