From these mentioned above I can underline the specific Romanian names with the ending -ie which I met and in other letters written on the barks, as those with the sufix -an; Neg, diminutived in Russian language as Nejko, inclusive with the definite article and with suffix, Negol and Negos, the same and in compound names. The names more often met are Ostaș, Micula, Sava; more rare nicknames, between them are Ceren, Pocta, Taiș; other Christian - Tudor (which is Fiodor), Domitr-Dumitru, or older Romanian names, never met until now - Rem, Rema and, possible, Sabin.
