This is a really nice name. I like it a lot. For short people can call him Slavik.

I don't like Vyacheslav because it's weird. Nobody calls anyone "Vyacheslav" it's dumb. Every "Vyacheslav" that I know goes by "Slavik" which doesn't sound so bad.
Is a Ukrainian analog for Czech\Slovak\Polish WENCESLAS, VÌNCESLAV or VACLAV, which all do mean "more glory". Vyacheslav is clearly derived from Slovak „viac slávny“ („ve¾mi slávny“ => "very glorious")
