I suppose Radovan was too closely associated with Milosevic. Well, there are worse.

I think it was Radovan Karadzic. Yep, another war criminal.

Oops. Wrong last name. At least you knew where I was going with that.

My word, yes. And my South African children startled me by playing a game featuring a character named Darko. Not very politically correct!

There's also a perfectly respectable female given name round here which raises the odd eyebrow: Nakedi. Pronounced naKAYdee ...

I meet a Darko around every corner here, lol.
Peder would get more than a few raised eyebrows here, it’s a Croatian equivalent to ‘faggot’.

I dare say it would! I'll warn my son (Peter) if he ever decides to visit Croatia ...
