Her names.
 

I was just wondering if Angel McKenzie are her real first names because Angel may be Angelika, which is very common in Russia. About her last name McKenzie, it's not russian at all so maybe she has an American or English parent ?

I know it seems pointless but I am curious to know. :hugesmile:

I'm not sure she said she had changed it for big brother, so i'm not to sure???

I'm pretty sure she must be Russian; and I'm pretty sure she's not married - must either have an English speaking parent or changed her surname for the show?

Yes she is russian, judging by the accent, it's typically the one russian people have when they speak english or other languages.
If she changed her surname, I'm wondering why.

Her full name was :angel::devil: so she changed it.

I'm not an expert on Russian surnames, but maybe she's anglicised her Russian surname, or perhaps just changed it to avoid too much media scrutiny on her family/friends?

She has got adopted parents her 'father' was on bblb the other night

She did say she's be married once so might have married Mr McKenzie!

Right so that makes sence now. Thanks for that. :hugesmile:

On other forums I have seen people discussing her real name. It seems it could be Elena Tchebotareva. My source is... http://rhodri.livejournal.com/696690.html

or possibly Lena Chebotaryova as that is how her ex-husband spells it http://www.voiceofshade.net/Page.aspx?PageId=20

Yes at one point she appears to have been married to "Nick Hobbs" and her name became Helen Hobbs (Helen could be a Westernised version of Elena/ Lena).

Then she is adopted by Clinton McKenzie and becomes Angel McKenzie.

I feel bad as I have got all of this information from someone else's post on a different forum.

You don't work, I say you don't work for the KGB do you?

She surely wasn't adopted as an adult...?

Haha no I don't work for the KGB! I genuinely got all that information from someone else!
The first link I posted up there is actually quite an interesting insight into Angel's character.

And it does seem she was adopted as an adult if what I've read is true. This is an article which shows that the McKenzie guy adopted her:

Again... I didn't find this article myself! I do seem like Angel's stalker though...

She's bisexual too!

I thought I read somewhere her real name is Helen.
