Hello,
I am expecting my first child very soon. We still haven't decided on the name for him.
I am thinking of naming him Vladimir but my parents fear that he would get bullied at school with such a name and would rather I gave him an English name.
We live in London and I think it might not be such a problem as so many children have foreign names here anyway. Please let me know what do you think of this name.
By the way, the short version of Vladimir is not "Vlad", but 'Vova' or 'Volodya'.
