Re: Obituaries
in reply to a message by Sofia
Thanks for the information. :-)
Zlata was the one I was most interested in. I've had a flirtation with her for the past year or so. I find her very alluring. And yes, I realize it would be like naming a dd "Goldie" so my take on the name might not translate to today's parents as well. But I live in hope that the name may find some admirers among new parents and parents to be.

Well, Zlata is seen as a dated here, but it does turn up occasionally. The thing is, it's not seen as a word name (as Goldie is), probably because the adjective is 'zlatan/zlatna' and we just see it as a name that is derived from the word.
Slavic languages in general seem to have much more names that are derived from words used today but not strictly word names (unlike English).
