By the way, what do you think, is "Vladimir Putin" his real name? "Vladimir" can be read as "ruler of the world" or "peaceful ruler", both readings seeming rather ironic for one of the most powerful people in the world. James Patrick Mallory suggested in Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture, that Teuta(na), the name of a famous Illyrian queen, as it is written in historical sources, wasn't actually her real name, but a title meaning something like "mistress of the people" (from the root *tewt). Well, by that logic, "Vladimir" probably isn't Vladimir Putin's real name either, right?
You understand that because a name means something doesn't preclude it from being an actual name, right? My own (RL) name translates as 'The god-like nobleman from the river', none of which remotely describes me.

My real name means, "Destroyer of Worlds"*, which I'm trying to live up to.
*not really, but it should!
