Filipino Baby Names

=========== The Importance of Filipino First Names! ===========
We respond to our names throughout our lives. People associate us with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to distinguish us from one to another. Other people gain immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views of people, just from hearing a name they can therefore give us a distinct advantage in life, or conversely, a disadvantage! The choice of an Filipino Baby name is, therefore, incredibly important. And those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on a responsible task!

=========== The Origins of Filipino baby names ===========
The origins of this these include place names, those related to mythology and history, origins from colours, plants and other types of nature, Fictional origins, historical origins, characteristic and religious origins. We then move on to the genre which can be classed as Descriptive, Place, Speciality and finally unique (or created name's).

Authentic Filipino names declined due to the arrival of the Spanish, Mexicans of European, and Mestizo heritage together with an influx of Europeans such as the British, German and French due to the the opening of the Suez Canal in 1867.


=========== What Filipino baby name shall I give to my baby? ===========
Will the Filipino baby name suit my baby? Should it be traditional, unusual, unique, exotic, popular or cool? Will it be suitable throughout all life phases ( "A Name isn't just for a birthday - it's for life!"). Will it be appropriate throughout a full life cycle starting with baby - toddler - school child - teenager - young adults - parents - middle age - retirement and ending with old age. Will it suit a pensioner as well as a baby? Will the schoolchild be teased mercilessly about a name? What will your baby think of your choice?
