I didn’t even know that Vaclav was a version of Wenceslas!
I didn’t, either, until I read a piece in the “Voice of the Martyrs” newsletter at the time Bill was looking for a Confirmation name. He’d said he wanted a military figure, and it seemed like a good choice, a gallant young man not much older than 15. And we were able to bring in Vaclav Havel and Vaclav Klaus, the founders of the post-Communist Czech Republic.
Of course, St. Vaclav ended up losing - killed by his stepmother and half-brother - but life is like that sometimes.
