I like Iva, Silvana, and Vera. I'm interested in Barica and Antun. Is Antun pronounced like Anton?

Anton is pronounced like 'AHN-ton' and Antun is 'AHN-toon'.
Barica was my grandmother's name and it's pronounced BAH-ree-tzah'. I't very dated here and kind of a jokey nickname for Barbara. Bara is also used.
