HelpRe: For Slavic names lovers...
in reply to a message by Sofia
Thanks... I love so many of these!
My faves:
Mirko (I love the Polish Marek, especially)
Damir
Stefica is really great, but it would probably be hard to get people to associate the spelling with the original pronunciation you described. I love the sound of Stefania.
Danica
Darinka nn Dara... Darinka sounds like a diminutive, though...?
Mirjana
Mira
Vera
Mara
Milena
What's the specific nationality behind the names?
I had a friend from Ukraine named Stepan; it took a while for me to get used to, but now I think it sounds cool.

All the people mentioned are Croats.
I don't think Darinka is a diminutive (at least not in Croatian), but an elaboration.

Hmm.
I had understood diminutive to mean something like an endearing "babyish" form of the name.
