It is obligatory for people to have three names: given name, a patronymic, and a family name ( surname). They are generally presented in that order, although the patronymic (like an English middle name) is sometimes omitted.
As with most Western cultures, a person has a first name chosen by his or her parents. The first name is used before last name (surname) in most cases and translated so into main European languages. E.g. "Vladimir Putin", where "Vladimir" is a first name and "Putin" is a family name. (Compare reverse order in Hungarian or Korean name). In listing cases (such as a persons list or a library catalogue), the naming order is reversed like in English, e.g. Bush J.W., Putin V. Respectively, such order is sometimes used in cases of formal or commandIn telecommunication, the term command has the following meanings: #An order for an action to take place. In data transmission, an instruction sent by the primary station instructing a secondary station to perform some specific function. In signaling syst language.
First names in East- SlavicThe Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages are the languages of the Slavic peoples. They form a distinct group of Indo-European languages, with speakers in most of Eastern Europe, much of the Balkans, parts of Central Europe, and the northern pa languages mostly origin from two sources: Orthodox church tradition and native pre-Christian ( PaganPagan may refer to: A believer in Paganism.

Such usage, while traditional in the above three religions, may be considered derogatory.) lexics.
Common Male First Names
Common Female First Names
The patronymic of a person is based on the first name of his or her father and is written in all documents. It always succeeds the first name. A suffix (meaning either "son of" or "daughter of") is added to the father's given name—males generally use -ovich, while females generally use -ovna. If the suffix is being appended to a name ending in a soft consonantA consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract. The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants do, the initial o becomes a ye (-yevich and -yevna). Suffix pronunciation varies with the ending of the name and the exact language.
As an example, the patronymic name of Soviet leader Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev indicates that his father was named Sergey. Similarly, the patronymic name of Svetlana Iosifovna Stalina indicates that her father was named Iosif (in this case, Iosif (Joseph) Stalin).
First name + patronymic usually used in formal or respective form of addressing the persons. In media, the respected persons (e.g. leaders of Soviet Union and Russia) are sometimes mentioned using their full names (first name + patronymic + family name).
In most cases of local-to- English translation, using patronymic name is unnecessary and the best decision would be shortening it to letter. E.g. "Victor A. Yuschenko".
