Hi,
This is the name of an old friend of my family's who was from Czechoslovakia; I take it it's a pet name (like Sonia for Sofia), so what is the full name for which it stands, please?
Thank you,
Simon

Selected
Bohumila, Bohuslava, Bohumi'ra,
Can be any of the above and maybe some else close. Pet names can have variations within families. Even Boz^ena that doesn't like her name, but wants something close to it.
Male version could be Bohus^, Bohous^ etc.
