Interesting! Are some of these names considered to be "old ladies' names"? Many of these names sound very youthful or "young women's names" to me, that's why I'm asking. Cultural differences. :)

Out of these, Stanimirka and Stojanka are my favourites. I also like Bonifacija, Cvijeta, Elza, Hermina and Sofija. And Smilja is adorable.

Can you tell more about Jagica or Pranja? Jagica, Katica and Milan look magnificent together!

Almost all of them are ‘’old ladies’ names’’, the only ones I’ve seen on younger people are Ela, Sonja and Sofija.

Jagica -diminutive form of Jaga
Pranja –spelling variant of Franja, see Franjo for more info
