Isles, Vladimir is a very common slavic name. A very good friend of mine from the Ukraine was Vladimir Aleksandrov (i met him when i was studying abroad in the Ukraine in 2006). The western version of 'Vladimir' is : Waldemar (in german) , pronounced Valdemar.

This name was popularized recently because it was the name of Harry Potter's arch-nemesis, Lord Valdemort.

thanks for the info.  yes, it is indeed a very common slavic name, the english version of which is all that i'm interested in.  finally i found it; it's walter.

you're welcome. i never knew walter was the english version. interesting.

vladimir sounds cool, imho. when i hear that name, i can't but think of putin and vlad the impaler.

VLADIMIR LENIN

hehe, spent the wee hours of the morning sleepless for reading about vlad the impaler and the pros and cons about his being the basis for bram stoker's count dracula.  i had nightmares and woke up with a very heavy head.  serves me right.  i should have read the gospel.
