BABY NAMES LIST
It’s fair to say that some Ukrainian names don’t crossover well into English and can often leave a person dumfounded, especially when relaying the name on the phone. Just imagine an English secretary trying to tell her boss “Mykhaltso or Yelysaveta” is on the phone.
With that in mind, I’ve put a list of the 10 coolest sounding Ukrainian male and female names that do cross really well over into English and sound great in both languages.
