Names which go well both in english and russian?

hi, i'm a russian speaker, my husband is an american, we live in ukraine where russian is mostly spoken. if you know russian, we need to come up with a boy name that won't sound either dorky or foreign in either language.

Answer:
I find it amazing how many illiterate people answer questions here. Half of the answers are GIRLS' names !!
Alexandra

Sorry, I half read your question. Well, a boy name then. How about this site then:

maria
Lukas

sounds great in both language

I also like Michal, Milan or Vitaly - all are cool names and easy in English.

I speak Czech, not Russian, but I think it is close if not the same for these names
Michael or Jacob--very nice in both languages
Boris, Michael, Yuri
Gregory, Peter, Alexander, Nicholas, Michael, Ivan
Alexander
Anton
Grigory/Gregory
Filip/Philip
Stephan/Steven (although Stephan can work in english as well)
Mark
Roman
Timofei/Timothy
Viktor/Victor

The biggest problem might be deciding on the spelling..
I've heard the name Nakita, I think it's Russian, and you can call him Nick here in the states. Good luck and God bless!
How about the name Ivan that sounds good in both languages.
Sacha, Vadim, Alek, Zory, Dmitri, Sashenka, Filip, Yuri, Gregori, Pavlo, Nikolas, Nikita, Marko, Kiryl, Misha, Kostya, Andrey. I like these names. Take are.
Well I am half Russian and I wanted a name that was true to my heritage, my little girl is going to be named Anna. Opps, I half read the question as well, Alexander, it was my grandfathers name.

I am American and my husband is Hungarian. We decided to name our boys names that are classic and have spellings and pronunciations in both languages. For example, my older son is name Sebestyen, spelled the Hungarian way & my husband's family pronounces it She-besht-yen but my family calls him the American pronounced Sebastian. Our second son is Alexander, spelled the american way but my husband's family calls him Shanyi, their knickname for Alexander. Everyone's happy.
I realize you're not Hungarian but maybe you and your hubby can agree on a Russian-American combo with this in mind.
By the way, Nikita in the US would be looked at as a woman's name, don't do it.
