[Opinions] Darko and Ivan
I've been a bit lazy with my combo making lately, so I've decided to try and do two names I've heard that day and make some combos for them. Today it's Darko and Ivan (Darko was about 30 and Ivan is my 6-year-old neighbour). So, what do you think of them individually and about these combos (any other suggestions are more than welcome)?Darko Augustine
Darko Elchanan
Darko Gavin
Darko Immanuel
Darko Keshet
Darko Ladislav
Darko Mordecai
Darko Nikita
Darko Talmai

Ivan Dalziel (pr. 'dee-EL')
Ivan Elijah

Ivan Hadriel
Ivan Jeremia (pr. YEH-reh-mee-ah')
Ivan Nikolai
Ivan Rafael

I want to love or even like Ivan. I really do. I've just never been able to manage it. And I studied Russian for years. But I can still appreciate it as a classic and try to be objective with the combinations. I'm afraid the "dark" part of Darko is too much for me. I know it comes from the word for gift. But I'm still having trouble overcoming it. :-/If I had to pick the best Darko combination I'd say Darko Immanuel (it makes me think of being led out of the dark) or Darko Mordecai (just embrace the dark side altogether). How about Darko Stephen?As for Ivan, my favorites would be Ivan Arkady (because I adore Arcady / Ardaky) or Ivan Jeremia (interesting and beautiful) or Ivan Rafael (Rafael has such a flourish to him.) How about Ivan Desiderius?:-)

I'm sure most English-speakers won't like Darko for the same reason (even though Draco seem to be doing better).
I have an irrational hate of Stephen, so Darko Stephen is a no-go. But I like Ivan Desiderius very much:-)

:-DDarko Milan just popped into my head. He wishes to be considered for the Darko spot. (So does Darko Marco, but I won't let him in the door. He's too silly.)

Darko Milan gets the thumbs up. Darko does seem to go with M names, Darko Maximilian, Darko Manuel, Darko Mihael all sound good to me.
