It was a custom of the Russian church to use "Fyodor" as a patronym in the case of converts whose fathers did not bear the names of Orthodox saints. It has been so long since this issue came up that I cannot provide a source for this statement, I simply do not remember. It's possible I learned this from my grandmother (+1981). But I'm sure that I've got it right.
