[Opinions] Re: Top 20 Czech Names of 2019 (and rank changes)
in reply to a message by Xena
I'm Polish, so it's interesting to compare trends with my neighbours. I'm surprised to see Nela rank so high, it feels very much like a nickname to me. And I'm soooo bored of Jakub. I never saw the appeal, it sounds boorish. Vojtěch is a surprise - Wojciech is considered quite dated here, I only know one who's around my age.

Right? I agree with Nela––I feel like it's a silly name, like from a few nursery rhymes. And definitely sounds like a nickname.
Vojtěch also seems a little dated to me, but I guess people are using it again? But rn the names that are considered waaay more dated in the CZ are like Rostislav, Vítěslav, Jaromír. I don't even think anyone is naming kids Cyril either (might be because of the holiday)

I'm Czech. I would like prefer old-fashioned names, like Vlastislav, Drahomíra, Rostislav (I luv him ever).
