Help[Opinions] Re: Rate names I would name my future children
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
I want to preface this by saying I am from the US, though I'm going to try not to let my western bias get in the way.
1. Volodymyr (Volodya) — I personally don't enjoy the sound of this, and feel like the shortened version is even too much of a mouthful.
Rating: 4
2. Yukhym (Yusha, Yukhymko) — I like Yusha! The other two aren't currently in the database so I honestly don't know for certain how to pronounce them. I want to guess I do like them, the way I'm imagining they're pronounced in my head.
Rating: 8 for Yusha || 5 for Yukhym
3. Oleksandr (Sasha) — Good, classic name. I love Sasha.
Rating: 9
4. Viktor (Vitya) — I like it a lot.
Rating: 10
5. Yuriy (Yuriyko, Yura) or Ihor — I don't like Ihor. It reminds me of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and I just really don't like the sound. I'm not a fan of Yuriy either, but don't mind Yura. Yuriyko (seems) a bit odd.
Rating: 5 for Yura || Otherwise 3

1. Svitlana (Svitka) — I like this name a lot and I have Svetlana on my own list (of likes, not names I'd use for obvious reasons).
Rating: 8
2. Halyna (Halya) — I adore this sweet name.
Rating: 9
3. Yuliya (Yulka) or Ulyana (Lyanka, Ulya) — Yuliya is gorgeous, and has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Ulyana is also very pretty. I have only good things to say of both.
Rating: 10
4. Yaryna (Yarka) — Pretty enough just not really my type. I don't like the sound of Yarka.
Rating: 6
5. Myroslava (Myra, Slava) — Very pretty, and also on my PNL as Miroslava.
Rating: 8

Yukhym is in the submitted name database
https://www.behindthename.com/name/yukhym/submitted
It's pronounced YUW-khim, the kh being like h but heavier. The i is like the short English i, like in "hit".
Yusha also is different than the one in the database but they're pronounced pretty similar
The Ihor association with Eeyore doesn't apply where I live because our version of Winnie the Pooh that character is called Ya Ya.
