Pavlov was a man, not a woman....

Why Pavlovoy if it's genitive form and not instrumental? Genitive form for feminine words is usually "bl".

Mr. Pavlov and Mrs. Pavlova, together they Pavlov(ы), house - дом(dom), houses - дома(doma).
And yes, Pavlov(oy) is instrumental form.

"The Russian Nominative is the basic form that you will find in dictionaries for nouns. The nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence. It’s the basic case and also the easiest, the only changes required are for the plural (add the letters “и”, “ы”, “я” or “а”)."
Guys, I do not have enough of my knowledge of English to explain a little bit. You get stuck even more.
"Ы" this is for the plural.

Surnames sort of declenate like adjectives, precisely because they have to be gender-flexible.
Pavlovoy looks like it would describe a feminine noun in the genitive, but in this case it's describing a masculine noun (in the nominative), and its femininity is purely a reflection of the possessor. If you look at a declenation chart for Pavel, the given name from which the surname is derived, you'll notice it has no gender columns, just a singular and plural, because its gender is fixed.
So in essence, Dom Pavlova expresses two genitive ideas in one. It is the "house of the descendant of Pavel," and we can make that descendant female if we want.

Some sort of dessert? It is the national dessert of Australia. It is originally from New Zealand apparently, but we take everything good from that country and call it ours.
Pavlova, a traditional Australia recipe made from and mixture of wombat and kangaroo, served with a home-style eucaylptus oil cream.

Well, I'm not needed here. I guess enough of us know Russian to get the point across...

And dont ask me why! Im feel like im was trolled.
If we talk about Pavlov family it would be correct to say: Dom Pavlovykh ( дом Павловых)
You find it funny, but if we meant Nina, it will be:"Dom Niny Pavlovoy (Дом Нины Павловой)"
And dont ask me why! Im feel like im was trolled.

Ok, I get it, thanks. My Russian is really rusty. I haven't studied Russian in a long time and I forgot many things about it. Kinda used you for a Russian teacher to clear up some things I've forgotten, if you didn't mindNezzer

And I'm actually surprised Nestor Makhno hasn't shown up on this thread yet to be a Russian-grammar nazi

Comrade Ivan said 'Za Stalina'.
Send Comrade Ivan straight to the Gulag!
Iosif Dzhugashvili is glorious Man of Steel, not lady boy!

Did I hear my name?
Nah - looks like the necesary explanations were made some time ago so let's move onto the naming of Dom Zabolotnogo as *shudder* "Zab's house".
Hell holds no pit deep enough for the concocter of that name.
It's a bit like calling Macdonald's "Macdo".
