Honestly, I've never heard of Danika, but Danica is definitely Serbian. Also Iva and Mila (Mila can be a name by itself, meaning "favoured" from the Slavic "mil" - favour) are popular in Bulgaria and Serbia. Lala (Lalka) is used in Bulgaria, although it's kinda old-fashioned. So is Neva, but the common assumption in Bulgaria is that it comes from the name of the Russian river Neva. Lorelei, I believe, definitely belongs to the mythology section. And one question - why is Hamlet not in the Lit-section?

•A catagory that might be helpful is American Literature. · Tracie · 3/7/2002, 4:25 PM

•But then all the other entries in the Literature category would have to be divided into different nationalities....sounds tricky. n/t · Barb · 3/7/2002, 5:37 PM

•I agree. There should just be a single literature category for now. n/t · Mike C · 3/7/2002, 11:16 PM
