Zdenek
Lenka
Petra
Ondrej - sounds like Andre
Vjotech
Matej - sort of like Matteo but without the -o at the end
Zuzana - sort of like Susana, but more like Zoo-Zah-na
Vlaclav
Vladslav
Tonicka- sort of like - Toe-knee-chka
Bara - Bah-rah but a tiny twisty roll to the R which I can't manage just yet

Some more that appear more familiar

Obviously there are many, many more which are unique to this part of the world and unusual to my ears, but these are what are popping up in my head as I sit here trying to get back to sleep... not so much luck with the sleeping part. :(
