[Opinions] Re: Svetlana
in reply to a message by Raya
I never cared for it, the first syllable reminds me of "sweat". Lana is better. Also Svetlana is one of THE names for women in Russian speaking countries and some other countries as well. Or it was until the 90s or so. I know quite a few Svetlanas. Some go by Lana, some by Sveta I have never met one who used the full name. So yeah, I vote for just Lana.
