Re: Vladimir
in reply to a message by Lea M
A nickname for Vladimir is Vlade, but a Macedonian dimunitive name that comes from it is Vlatko, and it never gets shortened to anything, Vlatko is a more modern version. I have a few Vladimir's in my family tree, and I love it but only when pronounced with the rolled r because otherwise it sounds a bit funny.
Whenever I tell people that my name would probably have been Vladimir if I was a boy, it gets a few sniggers because of its very European connotation. But I love it anyway!!
I think people would say Vlad anyway... unfortunately.
