[Opinions] Vasilisa
I've been reading Russian fairy tales. What do you think of Vasilisa?

I love Vasilisa as well as Vasilija :-)
I love it--perhaps due to the association (heritage) with Stravinsky's interpretation of the Princess & her namesake tale. I love the balance amidst the "classical" phrasing.

I like it, a lot. I remember reading a Russian fairy tale with a princess named Vasilisa in it, so that's what the name reminds me of.
Hi HailCthulhu !!!
I found this name for the first time in a fairy tale too!
It was Italianized as Vassilissa which is good to understand which kind of s you have to use but the look was so weird!
However I pronounce Vasilisa as va-ZEE-lee-sa because using two "s of sun" is too hard for me.
Anyway the name is beautiful. Basilio (the Italian masculine form) is one of my favourite names and I think that Vasilisa is the best among the feminine forms.
I rate it 8/10!

Vasilisa is really pretty! An alternative could be Vasilika.
