I like all of them except for Sunchica I think. That one just sounds a bit crazy to me.

I like Elena, Marta and Nika for girls...
Dominik, Matej & Nikola for boys.

I have Serbian-Croatian friends who have a daughter named Natasha (emphasis on the first syllable-- I never heard it that way before) and Nikolai.

Nataša (Natasha) always has the stress on the first syllable in Croatian.
I rarely see Nikolai here, it usually Nikola or Niko.

I like Lucija, Tomislav, Ilija, Gordana, Ante, Miroslav, Gabriel, Leonardo, Irena, and Dragana. Would you mind posting obits sometime as well? I was looking for them online the other day without much luck.

Sure, no problem. BAs and obits are not usually published in the on-line editions of the newspapers, so I'll copy them from the paper editions.
