Names ending in -slav
Is Slavochka a legitimate NN for every Russian name ending in -slav? I know it can be for Vyacheslav and Svyatoslav, but can it also be for Vladislav?

Slavochka is not a legitimate Russian name, but a modification of Vyacheslav (short: Slava). In general, names that end in-slav have Slovenian origin and they are fairly common not only in Russia, but in many Slovenian countries such as Poland, Ukraine etc.
