[Opinions] Re: Strange names given to 2024 Ukrainians
I like Aysel (intriguing meaning!), Vella, Dzenyslava, Amur, Vohnedar, Eskyender, and Sirius. Vohnedar sounds like it should belong to a Pagan deity.Dzenyslava reminds me of a rare Czech name Zvonislava. I wish names with 'bell/ring' meaning were more commonly used here. I also wish Zlata was more popular. I find it really cute! Cool it's in the top 10 in Ukraine. I also find Solomiya intriguing.My favorite popular names mentioned in the article are Artem, Davyd, Oleksandr, Anna, Zlata, and Mariya.

Dzenyslava and Zvonislava might be related. I'll have to research it. You can seee my theory in my response to nesstya. Zlata isn't actually used by many Ukrainian Ukrainians surprisingly, it's more of a Russian speaking Ukrainian name. Solomiya is the Ukrainian form of Salome. And yes, I agree, Vohnedar does sound like a pagan deity. I love the name regardless. Of the popular names you like I like Artem, Oleksandr, Anna, Mariya.
