Yep, it is weird. Althought I've heard "Dinja" as a nickname a lot of times.

Oh, btw, I think in the Spanish speaking countries Clementina (some kind of sweet and small tangerine) is a common female name, isn't it?

Yeah, I know it can be a name in those countries. In Hebrew, Clementina means mandarine. I remember laughing when I heard it for the first time.
And I don't know about "Dinja" as a nickname, but it sounds cute!

My mother, for example, her name is Vinka, making Dinka for a nickname which deforms to Dinja as the final result.

Not only my mother, I think I've heard it somewhere else too, but I'm not sure now.

Haha my old English (supply) teacher's called Dinka, that's the first and only time I heard that name! And now your mum ofc. (but that's a nickname). And Dinja is a cute nickname as well, I wouldn't mind if people were calling me that!

Well, Dinka souns pretty old fashioned anyway. And I haven't heard this one elsewhere either. I've heard Dinkas used to be common in Dalmatia.

If they love anal that much, I'm wondering how they even got kids.

"Anal" is very unwise as a name. If it's a daughter, you can always delete the "L" and make it a very common name - Ana. Then everyone will think of Ana Karenina and believe "oh, literature loving parents", but only them know the well hidden truth. mwhahahahahahahah

Actually, I remember long ago on television on a documentary about anorexia and bulimia passionates in Croatia they gave nicknames to the two diseases - Ana and Mia.

I think the real shock factor here is Honzlynn! I mean, Adolf is at least a name. But Honzlynn that's a suicide-at-ten name!
