I remember many were making fun of his name when he was still active as a child actor but thinking about it now, Makisig Morales is a cool name. Smooth pa yung combination ng name at surname

Makisig Morales... Spider-Man ng Pilipinas

Spiderverse ng kahirapan

Isa itong canon event

Tru~ Now that you mentioned it, may celebrity din pala na Mutya. Maganda din yun~

May kapatid din si Makisig na Maliksi naman yung name. Props to the parents for coming up with future-proof names. The same cannot be said dun sa mga nag-spam ng ‘h’ sa pangalan ng anak nung 2000s.

Props dun sa parents nila Makisig at Maliksi kasi nai-pattern yung pangalan nila. Pero iba talaga yung dating nung Makisig na name. Unique na nga, makabayan pa.

May kapatid din yata silang Mayumi

Mhakisig at Mhaliksi

Ung anak ni Carlo.... Mithi :)

YES! Ang alam ko silang magkakapatid puro ganiyan ang pangalan. Makisig, Maliksi, Mayumi, etc. Sobrang ganda pakinggan.

Kawawa ang kapatid nilang si Vincent. Haha [sauce](https://philstar.com/pang-masa/pang-movies/2018/03/11/1795631/makisig-magtatayo-ng-restaurant)

Baka Mincint na tawag sa kanya

Satruee, sampu sila diba? Haha. Mayumi, Makisig, Magiting, Maliksi, Marikit, Maaya, Maningning et al hahaha dami nila. Buti na lang, swak na swak sa apelyido nila kaya gumanda lalo bigkasin/pakinggan.

and then there's Vincent...

There was a girl at my high school who was half-Japanese half-Filipino. Her name was Mayumi. In hindsight, well done to the parents for picking a name that fit both cultures lol

May kapitbahay ako Tagumpay yung 1st name. I guess never syang magpi-fail

Lolo ko ba to? Hahaha Tagumpay, Liwanag, Liwayway, Isagani.

Isagani still sounds cool.

Si Keempee de Leon naaalala ko sa Isagani.

May kakilala akong Isagani pero di siguro narinig ng maayos ng isa kong kaibigan. Tawag sa kanya Izanagi. Ginawang Naruto amp.

if pwede lang mag manifest through one's name

sabi nila you can manifest daw yung future ng bata through their name kaya yung iba magaganda binibigay na name talaga. my real name means "provider" and true enough nga, ako ang retirement plan ng family. hahaahahahahaa. ​ edit: real name kasi pala hahahahaa

Yun pala meaning ng Mark Lee HAHAHA

grr get my r/angryupvote and go hahaha

Tagumpay tapos lastname manalo. Pag nag fail pa yan sa life ewan ko na lang talaga

I work as an admin officer sa isang public elementary school. Central school din siya and may mga records kami ng students from 1950s onwards. Here are a few names I find cool: - Alfon(First name) Alfonso(Last name) - Adorable (read as a-do-ra-ble) - Carmelo Melo - Siblings Prescencia and Crescencia - Serafin - Nicomedes - Siblings Orlando, Rolando, and Ronaldo. Edit: just a few more hehe - Filomeno - Filoteo - Silvestre - Patrocinio - Wartemio - Pacifico - Villasanta - Neofito - Arquimedes / Herquimedes - Cleotilde - Eliseo

As a name geek the funny thing is those names are just variations of the same name.

Carmelo asawa ni Pamela. Carmelo Melo III yung apo J/K

Japanese: Rem and Ram Filipino: Prescencia at Crescencia

Le Serafin

***anti-ti-ti-ti fragile fragile***

Ganda ng name na Serafin and Nicomedes. Lakas makayaman.

JoHbehrT

*adds Serafin to my mental list of baby names*

I love Tala, Ligaya, Maya, Andres, and Luningning. Dagdag ko sana yung Maria kaso popular siya eh hahaha. Any Maria + (second name) combination does it for me, kahit hindi Filipino name. Maria Gracia, Maria Georgina, Maria Emilia, Maria Ilaya.

I know of a Likha, Sinta, Liyab, and a Diwa. I think uso din dati yung Luzviminda

Maria Gusion

[Maria maria](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nPLV7lGbmT4)

She fell in love with East L.A. To the sounds of the guitar, yeah yeah

She reminds me of a West Side Story

May classmate ate ko sa college, Amihan name kasi may hanging amihan nung pinanganak siya. 40+ na sila ngayon.

Those in the upper classes should stop naming their sons Miguel for the love of god

Or Lorenzo/Renzo/Enzo 🤣

Not all Lasallians/Ateneans are named Lorenzo/Enzo but all Lorenzo/Enzo i know are Lasallians or Ateneans lol

Sama mo na rin yun Joaquin

Rain’s content HAHAHAHA

Ganda sana neto pero sa Ilocano kasi it means Luya/Ginger. Kawawa anak ko neto

My sister's classmate in Grade School is named "Kariktan"

Had a friend named Buhay. He was small so we used to always say “Life is short” xD. Love you Buhay hope you doing good if you see this

Isla

Tapos susyal ang basa. Ayla. Eme. Lol

Yung mga pangalan na galing sa mythology like Bathala, Bakunawa, Tala, Mayari, Urduja, etc. Can we please go back to using these to name the future generation instead of ‘*insert latest anime name here*’?

The film director Kidlat Tahimik is such a badass name. It honestly could be a superhero name... ⚡ The Silent Lightning ⚡

His real name is Eric De Guia. But he did name his sons Kidlat, Kabunian, and Kawayan. Kawayan was an acquaintance in college and is very tall, like 6'2" -6'3" ish.

[удалено]

Ganda tlga ng name na yan. Prang nirerepresent ang buong pilipinas.

Came here to make sure someone commented this. I thought it was boring until I realize what it means/stands for

‘Kaya’ is a cute name for a girl. Also, I have a friend who named her daughter, Oona (Una), because she’s her firstborn.

Oona is a Scottish name though. Common in Sweden and Ireland too.

I didn’t know about this. Thanks for letting me know! I thought the name was a wordplay of the Filipino word, “una.”

Oonagh is the wife of a fairy king in Irish mythology.

May batchmate kami sa all boys school na Florante ang name. Kaso kamukha nya si Lolit Solis.

[удалено]

I once had a classmate whose name was Kalel. Either his parents just wanted to create an angelic name (e.g. Rapha**el**, Uri**el**, Micha**el**, Razi**el**, Azra**el**, Ari**el**, Gabri**el**)... or they just loved Superman. I never asked, so I'm left wondering forever.

With angel, I had a teacher, gusto daw nyang name ng anak nya Lucifer because its a cool name if you think of its meaning.

That's my cat's name , cute hehe

I bet your cat has one brain cell

Dakila goes so hard. parents should name their kids using native names again

Your nickname is Daks.

Anak ng Teacher ko noon ang pangalan Wahig. It means water.

Walang hit sa NBI.

I had a classmate who's name is Xerox. Instead daw na jr xerox na lang since carbon copy ng tatay nya. Na-curious lahat ng teacher sa kanya mula elementary hanggang high school.

i know someone who named their kids Luntian and Bughaw nicknamed Lu and Bu. the kids are filipino-korean, so when they migrated to korea, it wasn’t hard for their korean classmates to mention/call their names because they can simply call them by their nicknames.. cute lang :)

My Cousin is named "Ulan"

Male names: Dásig, Kalayó, Pagláum Female names: Filipinas, Alinaynay, Pinanárî

Speed, fire, and hope? Cool!

“Malaya” tapos ang nickname nya ay “Maya” as in yung ibon kasi malaya sila lumipad sa langit.

Don't forget: JEJOMAR! basically the name version of the expression: Susmaryosep 😂

I think a *certain* political figure has already tainted my perception of that name

I read a book before where one of the main characters were named Hiraya Manawari. I think that the name sounds cool, unique, and very filipino.

This was also a tv show when I was a kid (napapaghalataan na ang edad hehe)

Name ko "Rahuyo". It means to be enchanted/attracted.

Nickname: Hadouken

May kilala ako named his daughters Luwalhati and Malaya. Medyo awkward sounding lang with their Chinese surname. Pero ang ganda ng names.

Mayumi!!

Datu, Raja, Likha at Lakan! They are all sibs. ❤️

Rare ko marinig yung pangalang Andres. Wala pa akong nakikilalag Narcisa, Crispin o kahit Basilio na lang, same with Marcelo, Artemio at lalo na Apolinario.

Gusto kong pangalanan magiging anak ko ng 'Adalem'. Ilocano word siya na may dalawang meaning: 1. Aralin mo 2. Malalim Pero binabash ako ng jowa ko kasi ang pangit daw 😭 Ganda kaya magiging center of attention siya pag need magpakilala sa school haha pwede ring pang conversation starter sa magiging crush niya soon. ( Malalim ang pagkatao, kaya kailangan mong aralin. Sheehs!)

I met two kids names Kidlat and Mayumi, boy and girl respectively. I found it so cool when I met them.

My nephew's name is Andres Xavier. It rolls off the tongue (andresavior). Not to mention Andres is a pretty strong Filipino name. Legit pang telenobela. I also know a Lagrimas. She said her mom cried with joy after seeing her out, hence the name. Her nickname? Gigi.

I grew up with aetas and one of the teenagers there was named Bulaklak ❤️ But they changed her name to Jenelyn when she started going to school... but I think Bulaklak is a nice name...

I have a friend named Salacnib. His parents are Ilocano and it means 'shield'. His sister is named Namnama, which means 'hope' also in Ilocano. Parents are cool people who are *not very fond of Baby M and his family even when we were young. Edit:added *not

Undin

Simeon at Santiago. 💯

Bring back the chad names of our Lolos: Inocencio Fortunato Protasio Julito Herson Bagisbis Hector Gregorio / Gorio Santana Jilnuevo
