My name is
Victoria, and I've been to multiple places called
Victoria. I'm fine with it.
I like the sound of Kyiv, and I know Kiev has actually had a tiny bit of use as a name in the US.
Berlin has had even more use in the US, but I don't really like the sound of it as a name.
Lviv, Vinnytsya, and Rivne I feel neutral about because I don't really have any associations with them and don't have strong feelings about the sound.
Vilnius and
Bratislava I think sound bad in English due to negative word associations, especially
Bratislava.
