Filipino baby names are known for being pretty unique. With names spelt backwards, parent names combined together, or names inspired by local celebrities, Filipino names are joyful, liberating, and deeply personal.

We love them.

Here, we’re sharing some of the most common Filipino names as well as some of our favorites. But the really important thing? Let yourself be led by what you love. We hope you find some inspiration here.

What are traditional Filipino names?

Traditional Filipino names come from three different places:

  • Indigenous languages, like Tagalog, Cebuano, or Ilocano
  • The Spanish, who ruled the Philippines for three centuries (until the end of the 19th century)
  • Anglo naming traditions, due to the US occupying the country. English remains an official language of the Philippines.

So, you’ll see these different influences when you look at Filipino names.

Spanish names are considered more ‘traditional’ than English ones, but English names are now much more common.

But Filipino naming traditions are a little different.

Usually, a given name is followed by the mother’s maiden name (as a middle name) and finally by the father’s family name.

Some Filipino naming conventions

These days, Filipino names can be a mix of the different language traditions. There are no hard and fast rules. So, whether you like Spanish-sounding names, or classic Anglo names – or something else entirely – you go for it.

But, if you prefer, feel free to shake things up. In the Philippines, names are pretty flexible. For example, Irene can be turned into a Filipino Airyn. Or else Spanish names can be shortened, like Mariano becomes Nano or Roberto becomes Berting.

There’s also a fun convention of spelling names backwards – such as Dranreb instead of Bernard.

Or, you can try combining the names of mama and dad to make a unique baby name. Marialos (for Maria and Carlos) is a common one, or Jomar (Jose and Maria).

Or even Jenally (in one case where the mama was called Jesusa, the dad was Ronaldo, and uncle Rolly).

In Filipino tradition, pretty much anything goes. So have fun!

What are unique Filipino names?

Right now, Filipino names might be some of the most unique, fun, and original in the world. Unique names like BumBum, Queen Elizabeth, and Joker have been reported.

And why not? It gives you a whole lot of freedom to decide the name you just love. So, here are some Filipino names for boys and girls you might like. Happy naming, mama!

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
