Went to the doctor today, baby still unfortunately is hiding his or her identity from us, but we have narrow it down to two first names for both boys and girls. Now its time for help with the middle name.

Boys:
Timothy nn Tim
Zachary nn Zach
now we need a Russian mn for each first name

Girls:
Elizabeth nn what are some more uncommon nns for Elizabeth??
Gabrielle nn Brielle
never heard of it used as nn for Gabrielle before, but thought it sounded very nice with our french ln and dh and I just adore it

also in need of mns for the girl, would also prefer them to be Russian however all suggestion will be gladly taken

Thanks in advance

Libby is a nn for Elizabeth you don't hear too often...there's also Bess/Bessie, but that makes most people think of cows.

I like Zachary better.
Maybe
Zachary Semyon - Semyon is russian and means "the listener"
for a girl
my name is Elizabeth and while i have never been made fun of, or had bad reactions to my name, it is so common i was always one of about 5 Elizabeths in class. I go by lizzie and Ellie. I like Gabrielle better and the nickname Brielle is absolutely adorable.
Maybe
Gabrielle Katerina - Katerina is russian and means pure
or
Gabrielle Paige for a non russian name
Hope this helps

Betsy/Betty is an old nickname for Elizabeth, I liked the PP's nn of Ellie too. How about Natasha as a Russian mn? Good luck. Hope he/she cooperates at the next ultrasound!
