est. July 2008

Hello, Yvelia.

On July 9, 2008, my sister had a baby girl and gave her a name I had never heard before in my life. Yvelia. I looked it up and found nothing — no famous Yvelias, no origin story, no history at all. The name was brand new to the world, just like you.

So that week, I quietly bought yvelia.org and yvelia.net — your name on the internet — and I have kept them safe ever since.

Held in trust for

more than eighteen years

…and counting. Until today.

Happy eighteenth birthday. This little corner of the internet is yours now — a blank page with your name on it. Make it into anything you want.

With love, Uncle Ivan
