[Opinions] Re: Two Russian names + question
in reply to a message by Lea M
Miroslav is okay-- not a favorite, but not dislikable. Vasily... oh yes, there could be possible Vaseline jokes, but any name can be made fun of. My names Sydney & it rhymes with kidney, but no one cares. Personally, it reminds me (ahhh! don't be mad!!) of..... a girls' name. Cicely, Lizzie, Vasily. Please don't kill me, but I can just picture a cute little Vasily carrying her lunchbox to school on the first day of kindergarten--up to a highly successful Ms. Vasily at her work. Could Miroslav be nn Milo? I could definitely see a brother and sister "Milo" Miroslav & Vasily. I hope I haven't ruined the names for you, just some suggestions!! Do you think they're ghastly, or do you actually like any?

You haven't ruined them for me, but I don't like them. Vasiliy is strictly masculine to me, and the nn I would use for Miroslav would be Mirek.
