(resp?)<<<<She thought for a moment. "I think perhaps it is too short, and I forget
that others do not name their children as Russians do. Our middle names
are named after our fathers. I am Katerina Nikolaevna, as my father's
name was Nikolai. What was your father's name?"
"Ahhhh," said the Aqualish with a nod. "I understand. My father's name is Shainen. Would that make my name Caimlyn Shainevna?"
She smiled, a girlish smile, and had to supress a laugh. "No. The suffix '-evna' is only for females." She couldn't stop smiling at that, and strangely, smiling felt good. "In Russian, your name would be Caimlyn Shainenevich. A good, strong name. May I call you that?" she asked., hoping he'd like it. She thought it sounded nice.

"He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is
only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish;
no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he
has put a knife in the heart of wonder."
