[Opinions] Re: Volodymyr
Well English words aren't really a problem where I live, but we do have the word "дим (dym)" that means smoke that sounds similar to part of the name. I don't think anyone here really associates the two, there's just enough people called Volodymyr in the country. Like, I assume most English speakers don't think about how the name Penelope ends in 'pee'.

I've never been a fan of Penelope
Right, that's what I meant.
