Awww Dragoljub. I love that you have flower-names for men in Croatia.
Fatmir, Ilir and Dino seem to be of mixed origins for brothers -is this unusual?
Any info on Izet?

I've never seen Ilir as a name before actually. But, it makes sense with Fatmir, since Fatmir is Albanian and Illyrians lived in that area (Teuta is an Illyrian name that is used by Albanians, for example).
Dino is the only one that's used by everyone and I guess since he's the youngest that it was picked just because they liked it, regardless of family ethnicity.Izet is used by Muslims, so I assume it's a form of Izzet.
