" I really need to come up with a better title for these posts--I'm rapidly running out of "usual" nicknames! Anyway, I see Oz bounced around a bit online, and I do see the appeal: short, snazzy, that zippy Z.

Clare's insight:
It looks like the popularity of Luka (and local variants) in Europe extends to Serbia, too. Meanwhile, there are lots of other sumptuously Slavic names in the top 10, such as Nina, Nikolina, Stefan, and Pavle.

I'm very much enjoying this series about stylish French bloggers' children's names. For this family, the challenge was finding names that would work for a French mother and a Serbian father. I like the little details like the <h> in Anasthase being added by mistake while her father was overcome with emotion!
