Sažetak
The article primarily analyses the topic of exonyms and Croatian exonyms from a lexicographic
perspective. The previous catalogues of Croatian names for foreign toponyms
are listed, as well as the criteria according to which they were processed, with the special
emphasis on the publication Croatian exonyms I and II (Hrvatski egzonimi I., II.) of the
Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, together with their online editions, where the
basic perspective on exonyms is geographical. The possibilities of their descriptions from
the linguistic-lexicographic starting point and the methods of their processing in (previous)
general language dictionaries are presented. The aim of the paper is to examine the possibility
of creating a dictionary of exonyms that would (possibly) include foreign proper names.
This dictionary would only be partially preceded, or followed, by an online edition with one
of its functions including users’ participation in the constant monitoring of contemporary
linguistic reality, the improvement, and supplementation of name lists and their processing.
