A common name for male children in Dalmatia, a coastal region of Croatia.
Approximately
25% of males are named "Šime". Other unreasonably popular names are Mate, Frane and Roko.
Why parents keep naming their children based on Wold
War heroes remains a mystery, although recent studies have shown a decline in such naming policy.
It is not known if naming your
child Šime affects his social and personal life in any specific manner. It HAS been confirmed, however, that if your
child decides to study at any College outside of Dalmatia, it is highly probable that he
will be the only Šime.
