Slobodan

The story behind this name is positive: it was first used as a virtue name by the 19th-century liberal thinker Vladimir Jovanović (who also named his daughter Pravda, "justice"). However, it is now tainted by the former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milošević ⁠— the only wearer most English speakers know. Some may also find the first syllable off-putting.

Pronounced sluh-BOH-dahn.
