[Opinions] Vitaly
Watched Lord of War a week or so ago and the brothers were named Yuri and Vitaly.I've seen the name Vitaly for years, but it never really made an impression until I heard it being used. Now I can't get it out of my head.Thoughts?Vitaly or Vitaliy?

I prefer Vitaliy, I spell all the Russian names that could end in either -y or -iy with an -iy (ex. Anatoliy, Vasiliy etc instead of Anatoly or Vasily). It makes me think of the ee sound at the end more with an -iy then with just a -y.
Regarding the name, yes I do like it. I knew someone with the name; people called him V. I think Vitaliy has a (good kind of) interesting sound to it.

I prefer Vitaly. I think of Formula 1 driver Vitaly Petrov when ever I see the name.
