I'm actually mostly annoyed, because Vlad is diminutive for Vladislav, and I always have to spend 20 seconds discerning, who they are talking about.

Maybe they are Polish lmao, here the diminutives for Vladislav (Władysław) and Vladimir (Włodzimierz) only differ by one letter: Władek and Włodek

I think it is simpler than that, and they just can't be bothered about learning anything about Finno-Mongolian hordes from the East.
