I think so too.I once a TV special about a brother and sister, coming from, I think Croatia. Both kids and they followed them for a while.The boy was Dalibor and his sister was Daliborka. So yes, Daliborka can be the feminine form of Dalibor.But that's just my opinion.

Curious.I really don't know anything about names/forms/etc. However, what are some of the common endings used to form pet names? In English speaking countries we use a Y, or use medieval forms such as Ned, Nell, etc. What are the endings used in Eastern European countries?Liza

Central & Eastern Europe - For females it's KA and for males is EK (most common I believe).

In Croatia we use -ica (pr. ee-tz-ah) for female names, like Mara - Marica, Kata - Katica, Jana - Janica...
And Daliborka is a female form of Dalibor.
