GIRLS:
Valentina (Dragan & Danijela)
Valentina (Dragoslav & Nikolina)
Valentina (Marinko & Tamara)
Valentina (Miroslav & Mirela)
Valentina (Tomislav & Branislava)
Valentina (Vladan & Antonija)
Valerija (Igor & Ljilja)
Vanesa (Katarina)
Vanesa (Kristina)
Vanesa (Milorad & Jadranka)
Viktoria (Ante & Marijana)
Viktoria (Dražen & Marija) -see Drazen
Viktorija (Bojan & Darija)
Violeta (Marijan & Aida)
Nothing especially exciting, although Vanesa is a recent import (I've met my first one last year, when a neighbour used it for her daughter) and Valerija is scarce. I'm surprised Valentina is this popular since it was commonly used in my generation and most of those names are not used much now (like Martina, Marina, Nikolina, etc.).

I like all of these.
Are name trends generally quite short in Croatia - are there many names that carry on for several generations?

It's usually like everywhere else, names that become very popular in one generation are not used much in the next generation.
There are names that are always very popular though (mostly Saint's and Bible names).
There are also names that are steadily used, but never become too common (I guess names like Tomislav, Zvonimir, Petar, Nikola, Barbara, etc. -again Saint's names and historical names).
I found a statistics from 1900-2010 and the only names that have stayed in top 10 through out are Ana and Marija for girls, Ivan, Josip and Marko for boys (all Bible names, as I said), Stjepan and Petar come close to it also.

Ooh, historical stats. That would be interesting to see some time!

Unfortunately, they only did top 10, but it is interesting (my name made #8 from 1950-2000, as I expected). I'll post it one of these days:-)
