Could it be Mika? Rather russian sounding name.. that does him some real damage politically?

I don't think so, but stranger things have happened.

1. No. She's a woman; that's all he needs.

She could have been named Jane and nothing would have changed. BTW, "Ivanka" is an equally Slavik name (Mika is probably Polish).

2. (Mika is probably Polish)

Yes. Her father is Zbigniew Brzezinski who was Polish. He worked for LBJ and Jimmy Carter administrations...

3. I believe he just passed in May

He was quite revered.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Yes, he was. Zbigniew Brzezinski was born in Poland and served as Carter's National Security Advisor

For his entire presidency. And he was also an advisor to LBJ. He died May 26th at 89, and he was regarded as an expert on world affairs.

4. Ivanka sounds Russian to me

[oberliner]

5. Her name definitely does not sound Russian

Japanese maybe.

[NewJeffCT]

6. Her father was Polish

Her mother was born in Switzerland, but is of Czech descent.

[oberliner]

8. But Mika is a Japanese name

7. Mika is a russian name for a girl meaning gods child.

[oberliner]

9. No, it's not

That is definitely not true.

[boston bean]

10. Oh ok. If u say so. LOL

[NewJeffCT]

11. Mika can also be Hebrew

as well as Russian, Finnish or Japanese. I would assume Polish or Czech as well since her parents are of Polish or Czech descent.

[boston bean]

12. I understand. I wasn't saying she was russian i said her first name sounded it and that is true.

I was remarking on what i felt was ironic.

[Igel]

13. It's really not true.

Looks to have started out as Finnish. Michala is the Polish equivalent. It's the F version of what turns up in English as Michael. Mi-kha-el, "who is like God".

מיכאל, if you're up to it.

[boston bean]

14. It is a russian name meaning that or something close.
