if you can read what I said:
| Quote: | | Right after the Great October Revolution and until the beginning of the Great Fatherland (Patriotic) War there was a fashion in Soviet Russia, a fashion of giving children "revolutionary names". These names were usually constructed of Bolsheviks' slogans and names of revolutionary leaders. Despite their artificial origin, every name had its ethnic background, for instance such names as Vladlen and Volen sounded quite Slavic, Izaida and Izil' sounded Jewish and Krarmija and Lagshmivara reminded of Georgian names. |
stills better that than everyone being named: Dmitry,Aleksandr/a, and that silly names. |

Why does it have to be a masculine name? He could be Katalina or Masha or Lyudmila; no one would know.
That's hilarious...I'm playing around with acronyms for a little American boy right now...

Hi a_medico,
"Svoloch" is a great patriotic name, usually given to kings and princes. |

That was really weak, vettra. Some of your other works are far better.  |

| Yeah, "small, humble." That's why I said I like it even if the original author didn't (wanting "masculin-sounding" names etc.). |
