HelpRe: Names of characters in book
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
Slaven - awful, it is literally the word for 'Slaves' in my language (Dutch) and there's no way to see past that. With "call sign" do you mean nickname? I'd much rather see Slava with maybe Yaroslava (or another name for which the nn Slava would make sense)
Natalya - Nata is nice enough
Ivan "Vanya" Zaliznyak - lovely name for a character. I quite like Ivan "Vanya" to begin with, surname feel fitting too.
Marina "Yara" - nice!
Lyubov - I like it. I knew a girl named this who used Lyuba as a nickname, which I liked too.
Stepan "Stetsko" - Stepan is ok, very recognisable as a form of Stephen, Stetsko is new to me and I kinda like it, but dislike how close ot is to " stethoscope"
