Gorgeous New Natural Night Nom

[Keilin Alyr]

I just realized that I bragged about this boy on Anima but I completely forgot to do so here. XD



This amazing Night Nom boy is Sasha, who I received from Leet as a semi-custom for several Clydesdale RBs this season, and I seriously could not be happier with him. I requested cream and natural tones, and I was not expecting such a lovely color palette nor a unique coat. Just... gah, I'm so happy to own him. *squishes Leet in lots of hugs and love*

And yeah... I think my unabashed love for Russian diminutives is starting to show. =)

he's gorgeous Keilin, congrats!

Russian diminutives? *doesn't know what this is* lol

Russians very commonly will use pet names or diminutive names for people, like Anastasia will more often than not be called Nastia. Anya will be Anichka (pronounced Ah neech kah)or Annika. Its a very common practice there.

Or Mikhail will get shortened to Misha, Anna is often changed to Anouchka... things like that.

Very cute name, and VERY pretty Nom!

He is such a beautiful Nom! Congrats on him.

Thanks so much, you guys! ^^

And yup, a diminutive is essentially an affectionate nickname or pet name used between close friends, like Sasha for Aleksandr or Aleksandra (the Russian form of Alexander and Alexandra respectively). And then I have Misha (short for Mikhail) and Vanya (short for Ivan... who I named after my cat XD).

Russian names are just among some of my favorites, and I figured the pet forms were especially cute on the bunnies. Hence why all of my character homages, not just the Russian ones, use the character nicknames. =3
