The patronym Ivanovich (son of Ivan) is very common since Ivan (John in English) is still a very popular first name for boys. I`ll take a look at Nabokov; I`ve heard a lot about his work Lolita. By the way, my copy of "I and Thou" is on it`s way in the mail. Reading Nabokov will give me something to put in the reading queue after Buber.
