Help[Opinions] Joining the trend: First children of 2025 UA
Finding the information was hard (most sources just gave numbers) so I don't have very many names, but...
Ukraine's first children of 2025:
In Zhytomyr, Stepan was the first male and Oleksandra was the first female.
In Sumy, the first two born were twins: Danylo and Robert.
Personally, I like Stepan and Oleksandra. Danylo is okay, I prefer Danyil. Robert is strange, I've never met someone named Robert in person. I've never heard of a Ukrainian Robert until today.

Its strange to me that you've never met a Robert, but it makes sense that it won't be a common name where you live. In fact, I am surprised it was used at all. It just seems so... English, and it does not match - in my opinion - with Danylo.
Oleksanda is charming to me, but I'm generally a fan of any Alexander varient.
If Stepan is pronounced the way its being pronounced in my head, I prefer it over the usual pronunciation for Stephen. For some reason, the "Steve-" prefix sound isn't charming to me, perhaps it's because it's so common and seen as a dad name. (and with British drinking culture, of course I would associate it with the boomer generation drinking at the pub, its one of those names). I prefer Stefan, with the "Stef-" sound prefix over the "Steve-". I think Stepan might start with "Step-", as in walking in steps?

Stepan is pronounced steh-PAHN. The e is similar to the English ay (like pay, stay) sound but with less y at the end.
I like Danylo.
