[Opinions] Khmelnytskyy's kids names
Replies
I immediately like Tymish, on its own or as a nn for Tymofiy.
The way I'm hearing Stepanyda in my head is really pretty.
Ostap looks interesting. I want to like it, but I just can't land on a pronunciation that sounds natural.
I prefer Yuri and Lena over Yuriy and Olena, but they're probably completely separate names.

Tymish I think is a Polish inspired Tymofiy or something like that.
Stepanyda I don't know how they said then (Khmelnytskyy was around in the 1500s and 1600s) but currently it's said like ste-pah-NI-dah in Ukraine.
Ostap is pronounced oh-STAHP.
Lena can be short for Olena pronounced LEH-nah. The Olenas that I know, none of them use Lena as their preferred short name but I know that they have been called Lena before.
Yuri is either an alternate transcription of Yuriy or an unrelated Japanese girls name. I spell it Yuriy because there is a y sound at the end of the name that I feel like Yuri transcription doesn't acknowledge.

I love Mariya and like Yuriy, Kateryna, and Olena.
Who is this guy?
Tymish is interesting—I've never encountered it before.
Stepanyda is pretty.

Sorry, I forgot not everyone knows who he is. In my country, we learn about him in basic school.
Bohdan Khmelnytskyy was a Zaporizhzhian Cossack hetman and commander (if you don't know what any of those words mean- in short he was a military guy from ye olden days).

Tymish I assumed came from a Polish form of Tymofiy.
Stepanyda is Stefaniya but a little different.
