My husband is Czech. To the English-speaking ear, many Czech names are quite odd sounding. My husband's and his sister's names are normal-sounding, but here are a few common Czech names that are a bit odd (some without diacritical marks). Keep in mind that many Czechs go by shortened nick names. For example, many men with names ending in "slav" are called "Slavek", for short. Or something else even totally different. Also, many Czech women name their daughters after themselves. And their daughters. And their daughters. You end up with various nicknames to differentiate between them. For example, for the name Hana, you may hear "Hanka", "Handa", "Handulka", "Hanjura", etc. They also use a lot of diminutives, like "Hanicka".
