As you can see -ica names were very popular 50-60 years ago. They're really just diminutives, so I guess they'd fit with the current British trend of giving kids nicknames as full names (Gracie, Evie, Alfie, Freddy, etc. are quite common in UK BAs).
I have in my family: Stefica, Dragica, Danica, Anica, Barica, Nada (goes by Nadica), etc.

Josip must have been fairly popular 50-70 years ago. I didn't realize Milka was an actual name. I like it.

Josip has been steadily used due to it being a major Saint's name and Croatia being a Catholic country. It went out of fashion in the 1970s/80s (but Josipa was popular then), but it's gaining in popularity again. Milka is also seen as dated now, but I went to high school with one (she was named after her grandmother).
