Help[Opinions] Re: Kosta and Korana
in reply to a message by Sofia
Kosta means "to cost" in Swedish! :)
And Korana is too close to Koranen, which is Swedish for the Qur'an (don't misunderstand me, I have nothing against Moslems, but it would be like naming someone Bibla or Torah).
Hope you don't think I'm narrow-minded or something, they just sound like this to me...

I thought the same thing (except for the cost in Swedish part... I do know people of Finnish background w/ the surname Kostamo though). That's why I thought it would be too confusing for people and always have to be explained.

I'm glad you gave your honest opinion (I don't get people who ask for opinions and get offended if someone dislikes a name)! There are plenty of names that have funny meanings in Croatian.
I've been thinking about Korana being too close to Koran/ Qur'an myself (it's not in Croatian, btw).
