In addition to #27, her first name is Lottie, which sounds like lote, which obviously means “lot.” She and her husband never went homeless.

(Yes, Jangy is my high school classmate.)

My direct supervisor’s name is Augusto Jr. II and he only realized that it was wrong when his college classmates laughed at it.

I had a schoolmate in high school who’s last name is Jugao (Visayan for dirty). In college, I wasn’t able to control myself laughing out loud when I heard the registrar calling “Makabaligutin” (able to break a male’s genitalia).

well, when i was in highschool, i had a classmate who was a source of endless fun for us, and consternation to my teachers. this was because his middle name was “secreto”.

and part of the profiling done by teachers is the one-by-one semi-interrogation regarding family names, middle names and lineage.

we always anticipated the first day/ week of class when teachers asked us for our fullnames (last name, first name, then the dreaded middle name)

up until now, i have stitches from laughing whenever i remember those good old days..

know of somebody who is called Charon, pronounced as Sharon.

had to asked her first if she knows the meaning of her name. she said it was from the Bible. had to tell her the difference between the two names. she became arrogant at this point so i just shut up.

turned out i was correct in my assumptions though, the parents wanted to be chic living in le chateau de kubo. hehehe

I cant help laughing about all these “funny names.” But listen to this: a friend of mine told me he knew someone whose surname is Makabaligotin - the person who owns that is a she. My friend told me that whenever roll call starts from the other room, he would go out just to check who owns that surname. And since names are regional thing, i have to explain what that means to the Visayan speaking - it means penis breaking or penis bending - you choose your adjective.

Had a teacher who’s maiden name was Lansang. That’s Visayan for nail. She married another teacher who’s surname is Dingding (wall) .. cute no?

I have schoolmate whose name is Maricel Soriano, and a I know a guy whose name is Daryl Hannah *Surname*. I know someone who had been saved from being named Babylyn.

I saw 3 people on my way to NSO months ago, all of them wanting to change the same name - Baby Girl. Apparently their parents didn’t think of giving them a name in the hospital, so it was a default entry in their birth certificate. And incidentally, they were all changing it into… Cristina. Ngi, pinalitan pa.

Jessica means “God’s grace”. :) That’s quite lovely, I think.

My name has a funny spelling, and overall, hard to pronounce in one go.

My name means “truth” in Greek, and it’s the verb one, not the noun. Yeah, like “to unravel” or “to reveal”. Tempting fate aside, Lord knows how many friends are afraid to lie to me because one way or another I just know that they’re putting me on. Most of the time, I don’t like it when I know because it kills the fun. :P

My second name is a combo of my grandmothers’ names. More puzzles, yay!

The only part of my name that is easy to pronounce is my surname.
