Petty nationalism aside, the name Goran is the same name no matter if a person is from Croatia or Macedonia. The article Peter does not state that "Peter can be a German name, an English name, a Norwegian name, a Swiss name..."

I would agree that the Southern European name Goran is different from Göran, since they have completely different backgrounds and the only reason they are sometimes spelt the same are due to the lack of the letter ö in many keybards, but claiming that the Croatian Gorans, the Serbian Gorans and the Macedonian Gorans have different names is simply preposterous.

I have created a separate page for Göran, since its similarity to Goran is merely coincidental.Mats 07:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
