[Opinions] Re: Panteleimon
Anna Pantelejmona is fantastic, I love it. Interesting find!
Apparently Sveti Pantelejmon (St. Panteleimon) is an important monastery in Macedonia. So maybe she's Macedonian.

I think Macedonia seems like a likely fit, tbh. I wouldn't call it a Slavic country, but it's near Bulgaria and my friend's easily confused, I guess. Unless I end up meeting her like my friend did, and think up a tactful way to say "So, where are you from?" I guess I'll never know, haha. It's not my style, but is interesting, no? Never heard of it before so thought I might share.

Actually Macedonia is a Slavic country and Macedonian is a South Slavic language (very close to Bulgarian actually).

Hmmm, for some reason I once got told off by an academic for calling Macedonia a Slavic country, so I guess it's all relative. It's always stuck in my head that I shouldn't call that part of the world Slavic and definitely not Eastern European, but I guess he was just snobbish about his geography. Not really the point, though.
