Well thats odd. People are letting go of their culture, people in non-anglophone countries should be using names from their own language. A sense of pride is needed, stop trying to be like americans.
Some of those "English" names (exact or variants) are traditionally Russian. Stereotype lovers may be disapointed, but John is a very common name here, unlike the fairy talish Ivan.
Europeans swim together in a pretty small pool for centuries and millenians - the borrowing has always been extreme.
I personally don't care, who came up with names like Catherine/Ekaterina/Katya - they are not going to suck, if it turns out that they are not originally Russian. Kate is officially a Greek name - but it fits Russians perfectly. Same for Elena.
The legendary founder of Rus' (Russia) is named Rurik. Guess, which culture's name is it. It looks Scandinavic, but can also be Slavic - a variant of a name of a hawk-like spirit. Should we really care?
My family will be moving to the US soon, we are from the Philippines. My son's name are RINGO and ROCCO. I heard that these names are used for pet in the US haha!
You think I should be worried about it? Will they be bashed by the kids/people there?

Maybe the Latin Americans might call him Ringo the Gringo other than that i don't see any problems, especially Rocco (popular name for male pornstars) is a pretty cool name.
