Just to add a detail: "sloboda" is the word for freedom from which Slobodan is derived. [noted -ed]

'Slobodan' might be ok in its native context but in the English-speaking world it sounds horrible. Imagine the nicknames - "Hey Slob!" "Look, it's my old friend Slobber!"

Was also used in Slovenia before the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Pronounced correctly, this name sounds nothing like the English word 'slob'. Slobodan is pronounced something like "Slow-bow-don".

Horrible name. The Slobodan Milosevic association puts me off completely. It also makes me think of the word "slob".

Used in Croatia as well, not too popular since the 1990's though.
