[Opinions] Re: BAs from Croatia
in reply to a message by Sofia
I like:
Filip - In this case I kind of prefer Philip, which seems to be more sophisticated
Vito - Though it sounds somewhat macho :D
(Borna* - maybe you could tell something about it)
Ivan
(Fran - In English-speaking countries it is used as a feminine name, at least at BtN stands so. Interesting...)
Nikola
Prenko - Nice. I guess that it is a form of Peregrine
Jan - Has gotten somewhat popular, but I still like it
(Jona - Oh, how I hate all the Jonah-names!))
Mateo - Cool, but Matteo is a bit nicer :)
David*
Andrija
Jakov
Ian*
Vjeran - I like it! Do you know anything about it? Reminds me a bit of Vera, does it mean "hope"?
Kristijan
GIRLS:
Ivana - It has grown on me! I can hardly belive it, but now I like it! :DD
Lucija
Josipa
Lea*
Lea Anica
Jana
Matea - Prefer Mattea
Martina
Anja*
Marija
Ana*
(Ema* - nicer than Emma, but I'm not sure I like this name even now)
Tara*
Katja
Ela
Antea*

Borna is a common male name(in the top 200 for boys) and a rare female nema in Croatia.
Meaning is from old Slavic word 'born'= to fight (in a battle).
Fran -here it started a s a nn for Franjo, Francisco, etc. and it's become very popular in the 1990s.
Vjeran -it's a male form of the female Vjera / Vera, meaning 'faith'.
