I take it R names aren't big on Croatia, especially on girls. :P

R names aren't big in general here.
In the top 100 we only have:
11. Roko
56. Rafael
70. Robert
and no girls.

In my generation Renata and Robert are the only ones I remember from school, etc.

Rollo James Benedict and Rufus Charles are wonderful! Also, I love Margot as a sister to Rollo.

Ruby Elaine (though I prefer Elaine Ruby), Reuben Oliver, and Rudy Felix James appeal to me as well, though I only like Rudy as a nickname for Rudolf / Rudolph.
