Mihael has such a lovely sound. Strong but not intimidating. Always liked that name.

What country are these from?

They're from Croatia.

I'm unfamiliar with Croatian names, but Lovro seems particularly nice, so I'll search out some more Croatian names later and see what else I like.

Glad you like it :-)
Of course, we have many international names (like Antonio, Mateo, Patrik), but there are a lot of names in the database that are unique to Croatian and other South Slavic languages.

Is it just me, or do the names seem a bit less international than they were last year? I mean that in previous years, there were less peculiarly Slavic names in your country's BAs - I've just never seen Lovro or Juraj before.

I guess it depends on which list I post, but there are two trends here. One is using more international names (like Ema, Laura, Gabriel), and the other is using more dated, traditional Croatian names (like Lovro, Bartol, Marta). And, of course, Bible and Saints' names are always popular, and L and M names are the most popular, so there are always a lot of them.
