Nevenka - I don't recall encountering this one before. I know I've seen Nevena, but I think Nevenka is a new one for me. It's pretty.

Oh! I really like Marica and Navenka (and Nevena). Are those considered pretty old fashioned there? Thanks for sharing!

Marica is dated to my grandmothers' generation, while Nevena and Nevenka are my mother's generation. You might see Marica as a nickname for Marija, but I've never seen a Nevenka under 40.
