The heading "Croatian names of Slavic origin" may not be quite appropriate to describe common of traditional Croatian given names. "Slavic origin" is much too broad. The vast majority of these given names are not used by other so-called Slavic speaking peoples. For example, if one was to create a list of "Bulgarian names of Slavic origin", the names would be different than Croatian. Hence, how can one conclude that the names are of the same origin. A heading such as "Traditional Croatian names" may be more appropriate.

It is fine by me, perhaps I have been too general. If somebody wants to classify names more precise go ahead. I've made this article considering it is a good start. Godemir (talk) 20:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Croatian populate's arrival"

The word "populate" doesn't exist as a noun in English, and it isn't clear to me what the writer means - "population" does exist, but would be wrong here too. Perhaps just "people"? This suggests that the writer of the article is not a native speaker of English.188.230.240.75 (talk) 10:13, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Naming Conventions Sources

I can't seem to find sources for some things mentioned in the "Naming Conventions" section. Particularly the claim about some regions using something similar to Roman naming conventions.

What sources are there don't seem to directly correlate to what's attached, either. For the "Darko Horatio" example, the attached citation (citation 6a, the UK government Naming Practices document) doesn't list anything along the lines of a fourth name or using the third name as the family name. Citation 6b also doesn't seem related, I don't see any mention of the saint days thing.

Is this just sources being mixed up? Maybe it's true but there aren't any English language sources for it? MaeveKnight (talk) 06:22, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Naming Conventions

I am expert on naming practices, genealogy and also a Croatian which made me suspicious of this section, and even after a thorough investigation I could not find anything that could serve as an evidence that any of these claims are true. So the citation 8a is completely false as is everything until a reference 9 and 8b which are ok for the most part but should be noted that majority of the cases do not follow this naming convention. It is something that was practiced but not consistently in the territory and trough time.

I have fixed this issue. 2A02:A03F:E96F:1101:E173:82BE:80F0:6DEC (talk) 22:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
