They want to give their babies a “unique” one. It enables us to be differentiated from the others.
TOINKS! And sometimes I wish I had a different name. But still, you can go with the classic old Filipino names. Conversation and people are his passion. Problema yan. I remember when I was in 2nd grade, we were asked to tell the history of our name- kung bakit daw yun ang ipinangalan sa amin ng parents namen. We, Pinoys can be the worst in giving names and nicknames. One time, her classmate forgot her name and called her Miss PrekPrek! Marie Juan Bagonggahasa (Mary John Newly Raped). 8 kwentong pambata na bagay tuwing bedtime story. I know there really is no BIG reason for giving me that name--yung tipong trip lang ng mama ko. Conrada, Ma. That would be a great legacy, if ever.
In the Philippines, it is common, that even when the baby is yet to be born, parents are already thinking of what they will call their babies when they are born. Ever since, babies born in a society were given a personal code. You can get names from about anywhere, but you can still choose to give your kid classic old Filipino names. Mirasol. Ang himala ay nasa puso ng tao, na... Our name or nicknames make a personality. :). Think of this, When these babies with “weird” names grow up, go to school, graduate, find a job, get hired in a BPO company and eventually be your virtual assistant? Mas lalong walang maisip ang magulang mo kung ang pangalan mo ay GIRLIE bilang babae ka at BHOY-may 'H' dapat- kung lalaki ka. When renamed 7-Up, sales increased six-fold.

Isa pa sa di ko kinakaya ay pag binigyan ka ng 'adjective' as a name. I have a very simple name-Allan. We, Pinoys can be the worst in giving names and nicknames.
:), @ Joyce- oo nga, nakakahibang minsan ang mga pangalan natenand yes, u have a very nice name- Veronica means 'true image'; and Joyce- lord--so True Image of Lord..nice! Di kaya magka-anak ang nanay ko at nanay nya?
When you meet them remember, name is not a basis of what they can do and what they cannot. If you haven't come up with a name for your baby and you want the classic old Filipino names, you're in luck. Eeeelk! My dad's name is Salvador-nice name, right? Ma. weird talaga Pinoy.. kahit American managers namin nagtataka ba't ang hilig natin sa funny-sounding nicknames.. :)On a side note, yes, I like my name.. hehe. Think of this, When these babies with “weird” names grow up, go to school, graduate, find a job, get hired in a BPO company and eventually be your virtual assistant? Agree? Pero kung di naman masyadong magandang pakinggan- wag ng ipamana please! If you are a client, and you meet them, will their name be a factor whether to hire them or not? A lang. Remember these? It is an initiation of becoming common person to a unique person. Allan's so common-there are a millions of us sharing this name. Minsan, pamatay na ang pangalan pero pamatay din sa pangit o baho ang nicknames: Charing, Esing, Buknoy, Utoy, Totoy, Neneng, Loloy, Intoy, Tikang, Mering, Paking, Potpot, Chukoy, Buknoy, Kaka.. Mas nakakaloka yung may mga palayaw na ganito: Bidek, Bikek, Biek, Baluga, Ulikba, Impakto, Putol, Luga, Tulok, Bardagol.. In fact, we're like 5 Allan's in our family- all with the same last name too!
Well, on his wedding day- he changed it to Jay-r. My officemate's name is ELISEO Jr.Others are Primitivo Jr. or Igmido Jr. And sometimes I wish I had a different name. Pareho sila mag-isip e! So when I was still a preschool teacher, during the roll call, I'd say: Bernadette May, Clarrisa Mae, Theresa May, Angelina May, Rita Mae, Patricia May--everyone's have MAY on their names.Hilarious!

In recent years, the most popular name for girls has been Althea. Dalisay (pero isa kang hostess..peace! Carmela, Ma. Cristina, Ma. Conversation and people are his passion.. SIDS: Ano ang pinaka dahilan ng trahedyang ito? The following are some of the hilarious business name... What about you? My dad's name is Salvador-nice name, right? :)). I have a very simple name-Allan. I have a cousin who is ILUMINADO Jr.- and we call him Kuya Unyo. No effort.
Although, he managed to change that and now he is called "BUDDY". But still, you can go with the classic old Filipino names. If that's the case, sana pala 'A' na lang ang binigay saken.
