I like Justina and Rozalija the best?Zoran was only a year old when he died? That makes me sad. :(

The obits are for the whole of January, so he probably died at birth at the end of 2010 and the county only posted it now. But, yes, very sad either way:-(

Nedjeljko is interesting - are there other 'days of the week' Croatian names?

No, just Sunday. Makes sense considering we're a Catholic country and it's used like a 'translation' of Dominic or Dominga (and the name days are the same).

Fascinating, thanks!
