We talked with Vika a few days ago about the option of getting a new name in America. We left it open to her to chose a name that she liked or to keep her first name as Victoria and we could either call her Vika or Tori. Her full name today is Victoria Yurivna Dechterova. Girls middle names in Ukraine are a form of their fathers name. Her father was named Yuri and Yurivna means "daughter of Yuri" That's obviously a tough name to use at home! :) Janet told me that she was interested in calling her Lexi if she came back to us without any particular preference but we didn't say anything to her about our interest in the name Lexi.
An amazing thing happened! We met with her the next day and had the discussion about her name again. She came to us with the name "Alexa" which is another form of Lexi. We are excited once again that things seem to be coming together in such a unique way. Her new official full name will be Alexa Victoria Heiner.
