Talk:Sasha Yakovleva

Title to be changed: "Sasha Galina" into "Valieva Sasha". Reason: Inscription on the Sasha's mother niche in the columbarium is "Valieva Galina", where "Galina" is the first name, "Valieva" is the last name
 * Columbarium niches are FirstName LastName. Unless the creator gives more information, this stays for now. ArasakaApart (talk) 06:17, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Valiev(a) is a surname of Turkic origin, the Russian Wikipedia article gives it 35 more or less known bearers.
 * It should also be taken into account that in the Eastern European naming tradition, surnames often have -ov, -ev endings (-ova, -eva in the case of female bearers).
 * Galina is a fairly common russian female first name.
 * Given that the music video was directed by the russian artist Ilya Kuvshinov, the inscription on the niche in the columbarium could have been written according to the Eastern European tradition.


 * Reach out to the artist and try to get confirmation. ArasakaApart (talk) 07:05, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Title to be changed: "Sasha Yakovleva" into "Alexandra Yakovleva" Reason:Sasha is a shortened version of Alexander and Alexandra, like Lucy and Lucyna. And add "more commonly known as just Sasha" at the beginning of the article.
 * This is the name the creator has made public, so it stays Sasha. ArasakaApart (talk) 05:52, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
