Since joining the nameberry community I noticed that, while there is a big range of names on Nameberry, there's a lack of Slavic names that aren't of Russian origin. So here are some lovely Bulgarian names for girls:

- Malina

Feminine form of Malcolm or spelling variation of Melina or Polish, Bulgarian, SerbianMeaning:
"raspberry"Description:
Malina is a synthetic-feeling name that may be a feminization of the Scottish Malcolm or a spelling twist on the Greek Melina and that also has a fruit meaning in several Eastern European languages. For all that it's a little bit of lots of things, Malina doesn't feel very much like itself.

A cute and lively name that, if you ignore the pronunciation issues, would be an excellent way to get to the trendy nickname Millie.
