The first that came to mind were Radek and Eliška! Also Michal, Marek, and Vitek.

Radek? Like a doctor Radek Zelenka from Stargate Atlantis?

Tereza and Veroslav. Like, I've met a good handful of people who were born in the Czech Republic, or have Czech ancestry, mostly relatives and friends, and about half of them have one of these names.
