I know of a union leader, whose fn is
Ninel. Obviously her parents admired Lenin.
I think that
Ninel is a pretty name, though I don't like Lenin.
Ninel sounds soft and similar to
Nina.
I assume that Lenin would not have been accepted by the authorities, neither for girl or boy. Even though there are similar names like
Lena, Lenita and
Lennart.
Never heard of anyone named Nilats though.
