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.
DanicaDarinka nn
Dara...
Darinka sounds like a diminutive, though...?

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.
