I really hope English-speakers don't start using this because of Donnie Darko (which wasn't even that great of a movie if you ask me).

Also used in Montenegro, being borne for example by Montenegrin biologist, diplomat, and politician Darko Pajović (Cyrillic: Дарко Пајовић; b. 1972), a former President of the Parliament (2016) and Ambassador of Montenegro to China (2018–2021).
(I realize this could've gone into the "a famous bearer of the name" category, but chose "the usage of the name" category as I used Pajović's name mostly as evidence for this name also being used in Montenegro. My apologies if I'm incorrect in my choice!)

I love the movie Donnie Darko, it is on my top ten favorites list. But I wouldn't use the name on a kid.

The name "Darko" in the name entry is referred as Slovene, Serbian or Croatian. This name is also wide spread in Macedonia and is also considered to be a Macedonian name. There is no reason not to mention this fact. Since this name is spread all over former Yugoslavia (and in this form it exists only in these countries), maybe you could make a reference about this.

Darko is not a nickname for Dalibor. Borko or Boro might be nicknames but Darko has a whole different etymology. I don't know how anyone would get Darko from Dalibor.

Probably the name of a character in the book I'm writing. I love this name, it sounds mysterious and intriguing.
