[Opinions] Ivan, Ivo, and Ivor
What do you think, which do you prefer, and what middle name(s) would you use?
I like them all but find it hard to choose! Thanks :)

Ivan
Can you elaborate at all?
I think it's the most classic and more substantial
Thank you, it’s good when people share their thoughts :)
Ivan feels like the name writers go to when they think "we need a minor Slavic character, most probably involved in organised crime". Bonus points if the character in question is from a country where the name Ivan is not used, and he speaks in a thick Russian accent despite not being Russian.
I don't know why, but I really dislike Ivo. It feels whiney and has none of the elegance of Yves.
Ivor is my favourite of these, as it reminds me of ivory and I like its etymology. I do think it sounds too similar to ajvar, though.
Hmmm... let's go with Ivan Vasilievich, Ivo Vasile, and Ivor Basil.

Agree with you on Ivan, but I was actually inspired to make this while reading a book by a Russian author that has a character named Ivan :) Ivan Vasilievich is pretty cool, and I like Ivor Basil and the fact that you basically chose the same name three times over haha.
Hahaha I'm really feeling Basil recently. We need more Basils.
I wholeheartedly agree!
