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.

It spells as Віталій or Віталік(when i speak to my family). Maybe you have no problem with pronouncing my name, but they do. Today was my first day in school after two month of waiting and it was pretty good in general but it was something like introduction day. I've introduced myself like Vitalii but also said that you can call me Vito.

Thank you for trying to learn my language and for your support.

And Zelenskyy is Зеленський in Ukrainian.
