Just google-searching Vladimar gives a lot of people who misspell Vladimir. Putin, Morakov, Tretchikoff, Lenin, Klitchko... I guess this is like people writing Adolf Hitler as "Adolph"..

As someone whose name is frequently misspelled (also with an A, coincidentally) I can tell you it's unlikely they did so themselves. Not a fact, of course, but still. We care.
