Volya is short of
Vsevolod in Russian, but nobody except grandpa or great grandpa is called
Vsevolod these days
I really like
Volya because it also mean will or freedom in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian
It may also be short of
Volha but I do not have any source :/
Thoughts on
Volya?
Vlodek is basically Ukrainianised
Włodek- short form of
Volodymyr I made up. There is Volodyk, but I think it sound better as Volodek with e, but fast speech probably would turn Volodek –> Vlodek. Opinions on Vlodek for
Volodymyr?
I also was thought that
Volya would work as short for
Volodymyr, so opinions on
Volya for
Volodymyr?
