for all hollanov ficwriters - russian petnames
i guess we all love ilya giving russian pet names to shane
still shocking to me solnyshko isn't canon
as you could notice russian is very rich on creating petnames both using diminutive affectionate name forms and other words
(honestly, pretty much any word can be used in diminutive affectionate form to tenderly call a partner which i know ilya exploits)
here a few fun ideas for you to use:
родной [rodnoy]. i am sure ilya would use this word a lot, but it doesn't have literal translation. it might be translated as "native", but this is a word of deep family-like affection, more like "part of my soul", your own, connected to you.
дорогой [dorogoy] - darling.
любимый [lyubimy]. i guess this is what ilya tried to translate as lover, but it's more beloved
чудо [chudo] - miracle. i feel like ilya could use that when he is deeply amused.
мой хороший [moy horoshy] - my good one. i guess i don't need any explanation here lol.
бусинка [businka] - bead. but somehow it sounds extremely tender in russian, like something little but precious just for you.
малыш [malysh] - baby. but honestly it sounds kinda meh in russian, i am quite sure ilya would prefer the english baby instead of russian malysh.
variants of name Shane using russian diminutive affectionate suffixes
Шаня [Shanya]. The most popular one.
since we know about shane's strict diet called as rabbit food by ilya, i like the idea of ilya calling him with thousands of diminutive words for vegetables and fruits. here examples for you:
🍆 баклажанчик [baklazhanchik] - little eggplant
🥕 морковочка [morkovochka] - little carrot
🍎 яблочко [yablochko] - little apple
🍅 помидорчик [pomidorchik] - little tomato
🥒 огурчик [ogurchik] - little cucumber
🍒 вишенка [vishenka] - little cherry
🍌 бананчик [bananchik] - little banana
🍇 виноградина [vinogradina] - one grape
🌽 кукурузинка [kukuruzinka] - little one piece of corn
🍄🟫 грибочек [gribochek] - little mushroon
🍋 лимончик [limonchik] - lemon
🍑 персик [persik] - peach
🍊 мандаринка [mandarinka] - little mandarine/tangerine
🫛 горошинка [goroshinka] - little pea
🐈⬛ all diminutive forms of "cat, little cat" -
кисуня [kisunya] - a little more sarcastic
котенок [kotyonok] - kitten
котеночек [kotyonochek] - little kitten
🐰 all diminutive forms of "bunny"
заяц [zayats] - literal translation is hare, but it's an often pet name
зайчонок [zaychonok] - bunny
🦔 all diminutive forms of "hedghog" (it's all about how shane crinkles his nose)
yes. there are many suffixes for converting any words into diminutive form. if you want to call shane a little hippo, or little bear, or even little flower, teapot, pillow - ANYTHING - you can text me i'll give you a few options.
