Hi! I have a small question for you.

I have a book Lolita by the Russian Vladimir Nabokov from my university library. It is signed "To Auburn University, Vladimar Nabokov"... He spelled his name wrong, with an A! Some people think this means the signature is not really his.

I thought that because Russian is written in Cyrillic script, it is possible that a Russian name "Влади́мир Набо́ков" written in Latin script might be spelled more than one way: "Vladimir" or "Vladimar". Do you think this is possible?
