Thank you so much for posting these translations. It´s always interesting to look at the poems that I know by heart (for the most part) from a different perspective.

No, it´s not. It´s a male name in Russia.

yakamozzz was right. Alyosha is a common nickname for Alexey.  Though the latter might sound more manly and mature. Most peope would probably think of old Russian fairy tales or stories when they hear "Alyosha." Alyosha Popovich.... Does that ring a bell?

Actually, it means "Who is this?" not "What is that?"

And in Russian it should have been "Kto eto? Ochen khorosho."
