    Yeah, but you’d try to get it back and he’d be GONEdor

    As a slavic, this is way funnier cause we have weird names ending with mir (mír) Jaromír Vladimír Mojmír

    And since these are more less connections of 2 words. It makes sense to have Boromir (Půjčomír) Stealomir (Kradomír) Also since we already have Kazimír (Spoilmir)

    I just tried to read about the "mir" part, and from what I can find it has been associated with mirŭ meaning "peace, world".

    Does it mean anything like that now, or has it lost it's meaning? Like when I hear the name "Jensen", I just hear the name and don't think "son of Jens".

    The meaning is more less lost, but separating the word would usualy still make sense. Bohumír = Bohu + mír Bohu = "to God " Mír = peace

    But again almost noone actually separates it or cares about what it meams.
