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.

Maybe go for shorter version: Vito

People tend to misspel my name with c instead of k at the end so to make things easier for everyone I go by Dom

It was the first ChatGPT suggestion, I like this option, maybe I will choose it

And what is your full name?

Pronounced like Dom - ee - nick?

Correct. I but I rarely go by full name. After years of living in the UK I feel like I'm not even pronouncing my last name correctly ๐Ÿคฃ
