Sonya: So, how’d the date with Andrei go?
Natasha: I tried complimenting him, but couldn’t decide on whether to say “You have an amazing smile” or “You have nice eyes”. Then he smiled at me and I panicked and said, “You have eyes.”

No matter where she lives, or what time period, Sonya generally tends to follow Russian naming conventions. This would mean that her family, closest friends, and her significant other are allowed to call her Sonya, Sophie, or Sonyushka. Acquaintances, strangers, and anyone she's not close with would call her Sofya. Or, in Russia, likely Sofya Alexandrovna.
She's a little more lax with her last name. She prefers Rostova, but will have less of a problem with Rostov being used.

LONG FUCKING GUIDE TO RUSSIAN NAMES BY AUDREY
Disclaimer i am not russian i just got bored and extensively researched this. There will probably be mistakes. Content under the cut:
There are three parts to a russian name: A first name, a patronym, and a last name. I'm going to deconstruct Natasha's full name as an example:
Natalya Ilyinichna Rostova
FIRST NAMES AND DIMINUTIVES:
Natalya- this is Natasha's full name, or 'real' name. It's what's on legal documents and shit. To get 'nicknames' or diminutives, there are a few different ways.
First is a 'short' or everyday name. It's used in non-formal situations, such as between casual friends and coworkers who know each other. Some names have more than one short name, and some don't have any, or they're not really used, such Ilya, Igor, or Andrei. I haven't found a surefire way to derive a short name from a full one, but here's are some examples:
Feminine short names:
Natalya -> Natasha
Sofya -> Sonya
Marya -> Mary/Masha
Yekaterina -> Katerina/Katya
Aleksandra -> Sasha/Aleks/Alya/a fuckton more
Masculine Short Names:
Nikolai -> Kolya
Pytor -> Petya (or Pierre)
Aleksander -> Sasha/Aleks/Shura/so many more wtf guys
Fyodor -> Fedya
Ivan -> Vanya
Mikhail -> Misha
MORE DIMINUTIVE THAN THAT
It's actually easier to come up with a pet name, because you can kinda make them up by just smashing suffixes into their short name. If there is no short name, just use the the full one. These suffixes are usually -enka, -ushka, -usha, -nya, -ochka, -echka, -osha, etc. There don't seem to be a ton of rules on which one to use, i can kinda just guess which one sounds right. but again, I am not russian so I might be wrong. Examples:
Feminine pet names:
Natasha -> Natashenka
Sonya -> Sonyushka
Masha -> Mashenka
Sasha -> Sashenka
Alya -> Alyushka
Katerina -> Katenka
Katya -> Katyushka/Katyenka
Masculine pet names:
Kolya -> Kolyenka
Petya -> Petyenka
Sasha -> Sashenka
Shura -> Shurochka
Fedya -> Fedyenka
Vanya -> Vanyechka/Vanusha
Misha -> Mishenka
MORE DIMINUTIVE GODDAMMIT
These ones are a little crude, and are considered pretty rude if not used between children, close friends, family, etc. For these, you basically slam a -k- into the short name.
Feminine examples:
Natasha -> Natashka
Sonya -> Sonyka/Sonka
Masha -> Mashka
Sasha - Sashka
Alya -> Alyka/Alka
Katerina -> Katerinka
Katya -> Katyka/Katka
Masculine examples:
Kolya -> Kolka
Petya -> Petyka/Petka
Sasha -> Sashka
Shura -> Shurka
Fedya -> Fedka
Vanya -> Vanka
Misha -> Mishka
So essentially, it forms a kind of trail. Full name -> Short Name -> Affectionate. Sometimes that shit gets so far from where it started that you cant even tell. Aleksandra and Sashenka can be the same person. Moving on.
PATRONYMS:
Ilyinichna- Patronym. This is derived from the name of the person's father + a suffix based on the sound that the father's name ends in. Natasha's father is named Ilya, so Ily is taken. Ilya ends with a soft vowel and consists of two syllables, so the appropriate suffix is -inichna for feminine, and -ich for masculine.
So Ilya -> Ily + inichna = Ilynichna.
That's the basic structure of a patronym. Here are other patronymic suffixes:
If the father's name ends with a hard consonant that is NOT ж, ш, ч, щ, or ц (English analogs: zh, sh, ch, sch, or ts):
Masculine: -ovich
Feminine- -ovna
Example: Aleksander -> Aleksandrovich/Aleksandrovna
If the father's name ends with a soft consonant or ж, ш, ч, щ, ц:
Masculine: -evich
Feminine: -evna
Example: Dmitri -> Dmitrievich/Dmitrievna
If the father's name ends in a vowel and does NOT consist of two syllables:
Masculine: -ich
Feminine: -ichna
Example: Balaga -> Balagich/Balagichna
And, as previously shown, if the father's name ends in a vowel and consists of two syllables:
Masculine: still -ich
Feminine: -inichna
Example: Ilya -> Ilyich/Ilyinichna
LAST NAMES
There are two forms to any last name, and it basically comes down to sticking an a on the end when it's feminine.
Examples (Masculine/Feminine):
Rostov/Rostova
Kuragin/Kuragina
Bezukhov/Bezukhova
Turgenev/Turgeneva
Dolokhov/Dolokhova
The one exception I've found:
If the masculine ends with -sky then instead of -skya you add another a and make it -skaya. Like Bolkonsky/Bolkonskaya

10 Characters, 10 Fandoms
Tagged by @quoththegayven !
So this is interesting because most of my media consumption these days is in podcast form where several of these bitches have no canon designs. I'm too shy to ask for permission to repost fanartists' work her, so for 3, 5, 7, and 9 I just used a meme of Will Smith gesturing proudly at an "Image Not Found" error message.
Everyone else is just the first decent canon image I could find dhsbbxbzbsb.
1) Jack -- Goth Western
(Yes I named my damn self after a comic book cowgirl what about it)
2) Keg -- Critical Role
3) Sloane -- The Adventure Zone
4) Calamity -- Betsy Lee's No Evil
5) Keisha Taylor -- Alice Isn't Dead
6) Adaine Abernant -- Fantasy High
7) Mabel Martin -- Mabel
8) Raven -- Teen Titans (2003)
9) Hester Wells -- Within the Wires
10) Sofya "Sonya" Alexandrovna Rostova -- Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812
Idk how many to tag uhhh @conartisthaiji @ohsweetflips @zevbian @charmandhex @theatricuddles and anyone else who's feelin it.

do great comet! 👀 (🎶natalie, natalie, natalie!)
My favorite female character: I have a few of them... Okay, top 3, Hélène Kuragina, Marya Dmitriyevna & Sonya Rostova. My three precious babies.
My favorite male character: Fedya Dolokhov :D I just love him and how done he was with Anatole in Preparations. Also, Manik Choksi is 👌👌👌
My favorite cast member: If I don't mention her enough, here it is: AMBER GRAY (AND ALSO BRITTAIN ASHFORD, GRACE MCLEAN & GELSEY BELL)
My favorite ship: Hehe, Marya/Hélène (Don't kill me)
A character I'd die defending: SONYA ROSTOVA, SOFYA ALEXANDROVNA ROSTOVA. I WILL STAND IN THE DARK FOR HER. I WILL STAND RIGHT OUTSIDE HER DOOR BECAUSE I LOVE HER. SHE DESERVES THE WORLD.
A character I just can't sympathize with: Anatole Kuragina... Just no. I absolutely love Lucas Steele but Anatole is just, nooo.
A character I grew to love: Marya Dmitriyevna. She's such an amazing godmother and I'd be happy if she screamed at my face. Like, I'd thank her.
My anti otp: None really. Never heard of a bad otp in this one.
(also, I see what you did there, hunny 👀👀)
