Are middle names not a Croatian thing? I don't think I could handle that. I need more names!I like:
Fatima (Hariz & Djenana) - awesome family
Hana (Velimir & Kristina) - Beautiful group! Is Kristina the Croatian version of Christina?
Katarina
Lucija (Boris & Ivana) - Yeah Boris, I love it
Petra
Pia (Ratko & Karolina)

No, we don't use middle names that much. Actually, legally you can only give one middle name and that is extremely rare, but it happens occasionally (in the past it was usually the godparent's name, but since the 90s people do use middle names more). And yes, Kristina is the Croatian spelling of Christina (Kristian or Kristijan is the male form). *just as a note I really hate the English Ch names because they can be pronounced in a million ways (like in the case of Christina, Charlotte, Charles, etc.). I prefer my Ks to be spelled with a K
