HelpRe: Opinions on naming after someone / something
in reply to a message by Andrew
I do not like naming people (or usually anything) place name, Mariya that I mentioned is not my home city name. My home city name mean "city of Maria" in Greek.
Though I like Zhytomyr as name, but it used to be name so I feel it is more acceptable. I would not use in modern day because it is city now.
In Slavic culture (at least East Slavic) middle names always honour father.
My is Semenivna, because his name was Semen. Or in Russian Semyonovna from Semyon :)
