Hi! Here are some Slovene names. However, I don`t have so much knowledge in ethymology as you guys have, so some (most of them, actually) are lacking explanation.
masculine: Andrej (Andrew), Borut, Domen, Gorazd, Jernej, Jure (George), Klemen (Clement), Pavel (Paul), Rok (Rocco), Tadej (Thaddeus), Janez (John), Tilen (Giles), Bojan
feminine: Alenka, Alja, Ajda (buckwheat), Brina, Janja, Majda, Marjeta (maybe form of Marrietta, but it also means daisy in slovene), Marija (Mary), Mojca, Tonka (short from Antonia), Vida, Vesna (in slavic mythology this was the godess of spring), Jasna (Clara)

Nana, almost-a-witch :)
