no they're not. They're Russian names. Also, don't say that the next time you see a non American name, its racist <3

Most of them are Dutch names/variants of Dutch names, actually! I think the S&B trilogy had Russian names (though I never read that.) But Ketterdam is based on 17th/18th-century Amsterdam :)
thats interesting! thanks for letting me know! im definitely gonna give the book another shot with this in mind
