HelpRe: Ukrainian names
in reply to a message by JMS
Olena and Klara
Do you realise that some of the names you listed don't have a hint of Ukranian in the description contradicting that you're looking for "Ukranian names"? For instance, Ilia and Jan. You might as well have brother Bob.
You also should mention the time setting of the story.

JMS is right. Carmina is not an "English" name, but it is used in England. Look at me. Take a deep calming breath. Think a little more about possibilities. Stop being snippy.

you're both right...
An example from my country: I've seen the name Vilibald in the paper just yesterday, so the name is definitely used in Hungary, but if I was looking for a typical Hungarian name, I'd want something more common, like Péter (Peter), Tibor, András (Andras), etc.
The names she listed might not be Ukrainian, but if they are widely used, than it's OK.

Well, duh! But she/he did specify a Ukranian name.

I'm aware not all of the names are Ukrainian. However, they are used in the Ukraine quite a bit. I looked through lists of names being used in the Ukraine and these were names that showed up a few times. But thanks for patronizing.
It's set in modern day.

Yeah, I think Jan is more Czech.
