[Opinions] Re: Miroslava
in reply to a message by Perrine
No, I don't like it. Maybe I'm wrong but to me it's quite dated.
There are some Slavic names I like but Miroslava is not one of them. I think all the short names are a lot better than Miroslava.

Miroslava does give me a dated vibe (was most popular, recently, during the mid-20th century), but I usually like dated/retro names. In this case the datedness seems like a plus: it draws on substance and tradition rather than just modern style. It also references the past, reminding its bearer to not forget it as she builds a new future.
