This is not accepted in Russia.
Foreign figure skating fans fell in love with Evgenia Medvedeva and her colleagues following the athletes’ participation in the 2018 Korean Olympics. However, it was not so easy for them to pronounce the name of the star.
A real drama unfolded at the competition that year. The main contender for victory, Medvedev, lost the gold to her rival, Alina Zagitova. It seems that even foreigners were amazed by the battle of two Russian women on the ice arena.
However, in order to pronounce the name of their favorite figure skaters, the Japanese, French and others had to try. They made their task easier by inventing short nicknames for them.
As a result, the long “Medvedeva” quickly turned into the short “Honey,” writes Zen Channel Day. The celebrity’s name has also undergone changes. Fans might be heard calling the celebrity in French “Eugenie” – clearly a short form of “Eugene”.
By the way, in Russia completely different options are used to address the athlete: “Evgesha”, “Our little bear”, “Bear”, “Zhenek”.
