Recently, I moved to the UK due to the war in Ukraine and have noticed that people here struggle to spell my name correctly. As a result, I would like to ask for suggestions on alternative versions of the name Vitalii that are easier to pronounce. Thank you in advance for your replies.

    I would definitely suggest losing the second i at the end, that looks weird. Or maybe go for “Vitaly” (which you can tell people spells like V + Italy).

    (Incidentally, a couple years back, I had email contact with someone named “Vitalis”, which I thought sounded like a female and vaguely flower-y name. Only when we finally met in person did I notice he was male. Somehow he didn’t seem too irritated by me having misgendered him in multiple emails though.)
