Help[Opinions] I need a name for a character
I need a name for a 9 year old Ukrainian girl with dark hair and dark eyes. She has a friend who is 14 named Olena Shvydko, I'm considering making them sisters. The 9 year old wears a flower crown most of the time. Name suggestions? I was thinking about Mariya. Someone in the comments suggested Myroslava, which I am also considering.

Nadiya, Sofiya, Myroslava. I love the name Mariya.
Myroslava is added to my top considerations :)
We don't use the Larissa spelling here. We used Larysa.
Katya is a Russian diminutive. That being said we do use it in Ukraine. But it's a diminutive.
Zlata isn't actually very popular among Ukrainian people, it's mostly used by the Russians here. The character isn't part of the Russian minority.
I prefer Lyubov or Lyubova over Lyuba. Though Lyubov is another name more popular with Russian people.
I've genuinely never met a Tamila in person. I don't doubt it's a real name, but I've only seen Tamilas online.
I associate Zhanna with middle aged women. My mother's name was Zhanna.
I could consider Nataliya, Nadiya, Tetyana.
