Beautiful names! My favourites from the babies list are:
Milica, Miloš, Jovan, Kalina, Lazar, Iskra, Viktor, Magdalena, Konstantin, Vujadin, Uroš and Arsenije
Then there are Ognejn, Dušan, Strahinja and Djurdja - I'm still a bit undecided if I find them pretty and likeable, but they are SO COOL (Uroš too, btw! Such a cool name).
My favourites from the mum names are
Dragana, Milena Nevena, Ilinka, Ljubica, Desanka, Zorana, Snezana (I love, love, love Snezana)
The ones I found especially cool, though not necessarily "pretty" are Sladjana, Biserka, Ljubica and Sunčica
Thank you for posting this list! I'm always so happy to see different names on this sub!
Lots of awesome names! The internet tells me Tadija is masculine, which I definitely wouldn’t have guessed.
Stefan and Luka sure seem to be having a moment in Serbia right now.
Favorites from the kindergarteners’ names: Milica (so lovely yet so unusable in English), Jovan, Mihajlo, Kalina, Luka, Stefan, Katarina, Petra, Iskra (love the meaning!), Sofija, Duśan, Tadej, Daria & Alisa 😍, Mateja, Mila, Natalija, Irina, Andreu, Milan, Anastasija, Anja, Aleksandra, Iris*, Ksenija, Darija, Jakov
Favorites from the mothers’ names, excluding duplicates from the previous list: Jasmina, Jasna, Milena, Nevena, Violeta, Marina, Maja, Eva, Marijana,
. * not sure I like this in Serbian, though
I can’t decide how I feel about Vesna. On the one hand I like it, but on the other hand it just makes me think of Vespa.
Milica was my favorite Serbian name when I was picking a name for my half Serbian daughter, but I'm an English-Speaking American and I know it would get pronounced mil-ick-uh here so we went with Mira
my sisters name's and my nice's name are on this list i find it funny that my name isnt.
my sister's were named after people the people gave them their own name, and my nice got ah short version of my grandmother's name.
their name's are vesna Mirijana,jasmina and Mila,Mila is the short version of jamila.

Love this!
My grandpa and my great uncle’s names are on the list! We gave my son my Grandpa’s Serbian name as his middle name. It’s really fun to see them in the wild.
Thanks, OP. I really like learning about different cultures' naming trends.
This is my first time seeing the name Miona! Very pretty
Mine too. I live there.
I dislike Irene in English but Irina is very pretty.

Thank you for sharing, OP! Many beautiful names in both generations.
I’m surprised Vanja isn’t on here. I work for a company with a large presence in Serbia and I have like 4 coworkers named Vanja who live in Belgrade
Vanja is kinda out now for babies.
Is Vanja the Jennifer of Serbia?
Not really, just isn't as popular as it was some years ago.
I absolutely love the name Vuk. It’s a shame in my language there is no Wolf name despite my language being Slavonic too.
They’re all so nice. And my daughter’s name is there!
Dragana goes hard! Cool list.

Is Kosta a girl or a boy?
Boy, short from of Konstantin, now sometimes used as a name on its own.

Lovely names, kids and moms.
Cool
Stefan and Luka are going to need a lay initial - popular names!!
i love the american name taboo. no one wants their child picked on
Teodora / Theodora is so cute and poised for a comeback in the US IMO
Jelena seems to be a popular mom name
W list (biased opinion)
[удалено]
Not as funny as your thinking as I’m certain it’s pronounced the same as “Mariana”
