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

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.

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

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 suppose you can't go wrong with Alexander. That way he's Alex in the States, and Sasha in the Ukraine.

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!

Alexander
Anton
Grigory/Gregory
Filip/Philip

The biggest problem might be deciding on the spelling..
