Amai Zlobine Greenberg was born on May 7th, 2022 at 1:28 PM weighing 6 lbs 13 oz.

The meaning of the name Amai and why we chose this name for our son:

Amai is a rare gender neutral name that isn’t tied to any one culture or geographic region. An estimated ~20 babies born in the U.S. in 2020 were named Amai.

Amai means love in Portuguese and Italian. 

“MAI” is the month of May in Russian and in French – the month of his birth. 

“AI” is “A” for Anastasia (his mom) and “I” for Igor (his dad). These initials – “AI” – are engraved in my engagement ring/wedding ring.
