well it's a hard thing to do to a kid, and his father already made him a subject of extreme bulling. I've read somewhere that people in southern italy name their boys Benito. anw my dad is a left-wing socialist, or even a communist but I don't think it ever even crossed his mind to name me Vladimir...

I would love to be named Vladimir.

sometimes wishes come true.

Tbh, poor kid.
I mean - Just because his parents are douchebags, doesn't mean he shouldn't get a birthday cake.
(I'm Jewish and still think that the poor kid should get *some* cake)

Would it be pronounced

Vlad-a-mirror

Vlaahd-a-mirror

Wahd-a-mirror

or

Lad-a-mirror

This is some of your better work

This is just a bit of trivia on the side, but Russians actually place stress on the second syllable of Vladimir unlike English speakers who emphasize the first. So they say Vla-DEE-meer.

Yes like the boxer Wladimir Klitschko
