I like all of those. Is Bosiljka an alternate form of a name related to Basil? How is the Gi in Gizela pronounced? And what is the background of Zuhra? Thanks.

Yes, 'bosiljak' is basil in Croatian. The male name is Bosiljko. Gizela is pronounced GEE-zeh-lah (gi as in give). Zuhra is a Muslim name, comes from the Persian term for Venus (star): http://www.baby-names-meanings.net/meaning/zuhra.html
