Oleg is a nice Slavic name. It’s not pronounced Oh LEG but more like Uh lekh.

This name might seem ugly when you see it written, but I fell in love with it and its Russian pronunciation: ah- LYEK. It's just so sweet!

PLEASE CORRECT: It's not only Russians, but also a Ukrainian, and Belorusian name. Maybe even in other slavic countries. It's correctly "O-LEGH". NOT "Ah-lek".
Also it means -- SAINT.

Very nice name. Short and easy to spell, yet unique and certainly not overused.

If it's pronounced OH-leg, it's very ugly.

I know someone named Oleg. Except they pronounce it phonetically, as in OH-leg. I think it's disgusting.
