Naa man gud mi baryo diri nga grabe mo angga og mga bata. Wa juy mahimo ang ginikanan, mapugos na lang pud og gamit sa gi-angga sa ilang anak. Examples: Tong-its, Anso, Plywoog, Igit, Barina, Platnus, Mata (kay daku ma'g mata), Ngipon (kay gawas man tanan ngipon inig ngisi), Kadjut, Sab-a, Bayong, Kawang, etc.

Bay Koddi, pwede ba ma-share nimo ang origin aning mga anggaa? Most of them I can imagine, like Platnus, pero especially kining Igit, Barina, ug Kadjut, clueless man tingali ang kadaghanan (apil na ko).

These villagers have mastered the art of naming their peers, usahay dili na mahibaw-an ngano nga maoy gingalan. Tong-its, kay sigi og tong-its iyang mama sa gisabak pa siya. Ginganlan na siya daan. Igit, kay nakaigit sa gamay pa. Anso kay nakaihi sa gamay pa. Ang uban description sa ilang nawong. A guy is named Daya kay parehas man siyag nawong ni Daya, a girl with Down's Syndrome, who lives elsewhere. I wrote a feature article about this ten years ago. It was printed in a nationally circulated paper. Gi-frontpage. Nalingaw tingali ang editor.

Must have been some article. Makalingaw bitaw ning mga angga, especially those nga strong ang local color. Stories behind nicknames make for a fascinating study. Dihay silingan sa ahong amigo sa Negros nga ang angga "Ulok". Crispulo tingali to ijang tinuod ngalan, or something. Bata pa, Ulok na to sijang daan. Unja kay 30s pa sija, naupaw na man. Naulok na jud hinuon ijang nawong, labi na kay dakug lawas unja ang ijang liog morag sa kang Tyson. Kadtong nakaila nija later nagtuo nga ang ijang angga tungod sa ijang hitsura.

Our eldest and only girl is named after her grandmothers (Carolette and Lucita) and initially we thought of it as CAROLUCI (say, carolosi). However, we finally settled to spell her name as CAROLUZZI (say, caro-lutchie) since it was the year Lady Diana died after being chased in the streets of Paris by Paparazzi. Her nickname is CAROTZ.

Our second child, a boy, got his name straight from a book of names. We gave him the names Lance (which means warrior) and Howell (which means lordly) making it LANCE HOWELL (Lordly Warrior). Incidentally, my name starts with H and my wife's starts with L. His nickname is CABBAGE.

We intended to name our third child, another boy, in honor of his great-great grandfathers (Diego and Miguel, mother side; Nicasio and Agapito, father side). Acknowledging the ordeal of a small child writing a very long full name "Diego Miguel Nicasio Agapito Yap Lagunay" at school, we decided to shorten his name to DIGNITY. His nickname is BROCCOLI.

At this point we have come to collectively refer to our children as CHOPSUEY.

Five years later, a fourth one came and its another boy again. We first decided that his nickname should be RADISH. Hence, we gave him the name KONRAD (as in Konrad Adenauer of Germany). Deciding to give him a second first name in honor of his grandfathers (Baning and Liani), we coined the name VALIANT. His final name: VALIANT KONRAD.

Naa pud diay Norwegian nga creative sa kabuang, he he.

Norway's Longest Name?

According to Norwegian site VG Nett, bus driver Andreas Jankov has formally changed his name to Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov. "I wanted to show that it is possible to be serious and at the same time take the name you like," said the film enthusiast. "I wanted to see how far I could take it with respect to the number of names. I started thinking about this three years ago and it was approved in January this year." Apparently, he's had his passport and bank card reissued, but the name was too long so he dropped "Highlander."

Thanks to our commenters, we've been able to break down the name:

- Julius is an homage to the famous chimp at the Kristiansand Zoo
- 'Arn' is a Swedish knight movie
- Elessar and Gimli are from 'Lord of the Rings'
- 'MacGyver', just the greatest Richard Dean Anderson show ever!
- 'Highlander' could refer to either the movie or TV show
- Chewbacka (aka Chewbacca) is from 'Star Wars'

So, When/If he gets married will he make his wife take his name?

countries known to create very unique names are found in africa. most of them are tribes that are still following traditions.
some examples are:
Dikembe Mutombo - real name: Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo
Hakeem Olajuwon - real name: Hakeem Abdul Ajibola Olajuwon
