Point being was, is it possible to choose your own given name? Since i dunno how the Japanese would try to pronounce "Vel-ee-meer" (Velimir) and "Veh-seh-lee-no-vich" (Veselinović)
...probably like "Berimiiru Beseriinobichi" but that makes it way too hard for me to imagine how it would sound while used frequently in everyday talk.

No, you don't get to choose your name.
Yours would probably be something like べりミール・ベセリノバビッチ. It will probably be more difficult for native English speakers than Japanese speakers, and most people with names like this find a nickname. Maybe ベリ.
