(We also discussed my RL name. His mother's family, apparently, is originally from Ukraine, round about Kiev.)
Interesting! I find that neat, and couldn't even describe why.
(Not in any way related to Kay, but related to last names from around those parts, it probably comes off as incredibly weird, but I find it amusing that, when I get the nigh-inevitable "Where is your last name from?" questions, I can respond with great specificity that "It's an Ashkenazi Jewish last name from a particular town in Ukraine.")
