25 year old Ukrainian woman from Donbass with kids and husband. Her name is Anna Zapeka. She is independent journalist and folk singer on street (pen name is for journalism).

I have no idea for first name. Please help. Here are ideas for pen surname for refrence:

Volya ("freedom, free will" also was diminutive of Vsevolod)
Svoboda ("freedom")
Bezpeka ("safety" - kind of too close to Zapeka)
Kvitka ("flower")
Azov / Azova (from Azov sea)
Oboronko ("defender")
Zakhysnyk (also "defender")
Sichko (from "Sich" historical military unit)
Peremozhets ("victor")
Peremoha ("victory")
Volodar ("ruler", "gift of power" also was diminutive of Volodymyr)
Nadiya ("hope" also name, I am considering for pen first name)

Feel free to give opionions on surname ideas also.
