2. Male would be my guess
Slavic-languige women's names tend to end in "a" IIRC - Ekaterina, Nataliya, Aleksandra, Irina, Elena, et al.

3. Responded to the dup...
popular MALE name in the East Zone...

Glinka opera Ruslan and Ludmila taken from the Pushkin poem: Ruslan and Lyudmila.

More fun to let us all run something down--we get smarter this way.
