Sorry I don't like dashes in names. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid! I do like the way it looks maybe Vykv'yna. I just don't like the dash. Sorry!
I mean, that's fair, it's usually the same with me.
But Vykv-yna isn't like an English name where you can just choose to not have a dash or a Korean name where you can choose to not transcript it with a dash
It's a name that's (most likely) a combination of two Chukchi words, similar to the Tuvan name Dalay-kys.
An apostrophe in Cyrillic transcriptions denotes to pallatisation (i. e. y sound, like la pallatised is lya) or an apostrophe in the spelling (only Ukrainian + Belarusian), like Мар'яна can be written as Mar'yana. Most of the time, English speakers choose to simply the spellings and not include those marks.
