[Opinions] A clarification:
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I'm not having children, so when I ask what you think of the name, I'm curious about your feelings about the name itself, not its suitability for a living human. :)

I guess sometimes it’s difficult to separate the two entirely? Even from a purely aesthetic perspective, my appreciation of Ulyana is marred by the fact it’s so close to Juliana?
I don't have a problem just thinking about the aesthetics of a name in and of themselves without much regard to IRL usage. Especially when it's a name like this where it's just a language-specific transcription (is that the right word? idk) of a familiar name.
I can appreciate a lot of names that I sort of don't actually "like"... ugly names like Greer and Sloane, they're totally ugly imo... but somehow still pleasing to me lol.

I get that, and there are names I like but wouldn’t use on a child, but still when I evaluate a name I *personally* can’t help but think how it would work on a real person.
Agree
