[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nina would be my first choice, no drawbacks!
Natalia - often mistaken for Natalie in the US or pronounced Nat-eh-lia [b]My BFF is named Natalia. She's never had a problem. It's equivalent to Sophia vs Sophie.
Maya- nice but very popular with Indians 
Maria - can’t go wrong with it but way too popular [/b]Maybe in convents, but I don't think it's popular generally. I have three daughters and have not met any Marias through them. The only Maria I know is my cousin, who is in her late 20s.
Sofia - two spellings in Russian and too popular 
Lydia - love it and hopefully the Y won’t be mistransliterated in Cyrillic 
Tatiana - popular with African Americans [b]This is a really bizarre comment. Are you saying this because of the Disney movie the Princess and the Frog? This is not accurate.
Olga - the soft sign might be a problem with Cyrillic but probably not
Anna - love it but always misspelled for Ana in the US [/b]I think you're not giving Americans enough credit. Anna is a very popular spelling and I'm more familiar with his spelling then Ana.

I know quite a few black Tatyana’s. 
Have a close friend named Natalia and she complains people call her Natalie or mispronounce as smth like Natehlia.
I live in an area with a large Latino population and there are quite a few Maria’s though they are all older. Some Slavic friends with that name as well.
And my friend named Anna is misspelled as Ana quite often, mostly by Spanish speakers in customer service of all kinds
