NYC, thank you for shedding light on the names. I have wondered myself, but have never once thought of the Soviet influence! Appreciate the new knowledge!

Also, a lot of immigration from other islands that were former British colonies. Teofilo Stevenson’s father was from Saint Vincent, and Aroldis Chapman’s paternal grandparents were from Jamaica.
