HelpRe: Which do you like as names?
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
I'm disappointed Varshava has so few votes. I think that would be a beautiful Slavic-sounding name.
I think Bratislava would also be a pretty Slavic name... except the instinctive nickname would be "Brat." I guess Charli XcX reclaimed it, but I still don't think it's the best.
Vilnius sounds like an ancient Roman name, so that's why I voted for that one.
I don't really have an explanation for why I voted for Lviv. I just think it would sound good. Perhaps it's because it's similar in sound to Eve.
Rivne looks a lot like a real name, IMO, and most people aren't familiar with the city.

I wonder if Varshava would have gotten more votes if it weren't also listed as Warsaw. It reminds me a little of Varsha / Varshini (which I like).

Varshava is Warsaw (Warszawa in Polish)
Yeah, but I meant that Varshava might get more votes than Warsaw simply based on sound.

True, Warsaw I dislike as a name.
