"Call sign" is military nickname, example: Denys Prokopenko call sign is Redis
After wikipedia searching I found that it is called "nom de guerre" in English from some French stuff. In my langauge it is called military nickname / call sign. Slaven is probably said a little different than Dutch, in Ukraine v can sound kind of like w and the n in Slaven is more nya than na because in Cyrillic it is нь not н.
I could use Lyuba for Lyubov, I have met people who use Lyuba too!
Stetsko is stehts-ko, the eh kind of close to a in english word late, and the ts is tsya sound not tsa because the ts (ц) has ь on it in Cyrillic. Do it still close to stethoscope?

Ah yes I'm familiar with them. Our military calls them "tactical" names.
The pronunciation is different, but that would still distract me personally if I'd read a translated story in the Latin alphabet. I say it wrong in my head.
Stetsko probably doesn't if I were to hear you say it IRL, and the connection is not as bothersome as the 'slaves' thing of Slaven because the word is pretty neutral.
