[Opinions] Dragomir
I'm smitten with this dashing Slavic name. I had a student named Dragomir when I taught in Bulgaria, and it was always such a delight to call on him because it gave me an opportunity to say his name. I think my favorite combination is Dragomir Sebastian. Here are some others:Dragomir Anselm
Dragomir Edsel
Dragomir Edwin
Dragomir Henry
Dragomir Laurence
Dragomir Linus
Dragomir Otho
Dragomir Philip
Dragomir Silas
Dragomir Stefan

I really like it, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't actually mean dragon :P (It makes me think of dragons anyway)

I love Dragomir - it sounds vibrant, noble, and adventurous. I like Dragomir Sebastian the best of your combinations, although Dragomir Otho has a nice medieval sound.

Dragomir sounds like a legendary king riding a dragon. I know that it has a 'soft' meaning, though.I like Dragomir Stefan.

I love it. I'm aware of the etymology, but it sounds like an elderly dragon lord.

Because this sounds too masculine. :-D What do you say on similar version Drahomir?

It is delightful! Though I'm always disappointed that the Drago- element has nothing to do with fire-breathing winged reptiles.I think I prefer Dragomir Linus: the most peaceable Peanuts character makes a good addition.

Hmmm... it's not a name I'd ever consider using irl, but I appreciate it and it'd be cool to see on other people. I like the combo Dragomir Sebastian.

Isn't this name "dated" in the Balkans?I like it, and the combinations Dragomir Sebastian and Dragomir Silas are nice.

Hmmm, my Bulgarian student was 13 when I taught him in 2012. I'm not sure.
