Explanation:
my collegue here has a credible guess that "Wasku" may be a cat's name. You are not going to OJ anyone, are you?

I might have misled you


Explanation:
Yes, 'Vassily' is a man's name. But the person who wrote an email, did not say 'Vassily', he said 'Wasku' which, as I explained you, is a short form of the above (nominative - Vasyok). Also, it may be a pet's name - Vas'ka, Vasyok, Vasya. Would she refer to a *John* as 'Vasyok'? - I don't know.

disagree  protolmach: IMHO, let's not take upon ourselves responsibility to be psychics, or family psychotherapists. YES, VASKA could be a nickname, it's a very common name in Russia.
