The first that came to mind were Radek and Eliška! Also Michal, Marek, and Vitek.
Radek? Like a doctor Radek Zelenka from Stargate Atlantis?

Tereza and Veroslav. Like, I've met a good handful of people who were born in the Czech Republic, or have Czech ancestry, mostly relatives and friends, and about half of them have one of these names.
Věroslav means celebrate of faith. ;-)
