It is desirable that they look like Russified, that is, those that are quite realistic to meet in Russia (for example, Schneider, Kronberg). It is possible that the moderators will meet you, deciding that you may have married (if you are a girl) or just changed your surname in real life.

In the event that you had a frankly fake nickname, which you want to change to a fictional one, but similar to a real name, your chances are significantly increased.
