Strange names Pinoy parents give their kids, Part 2

Thank you everyone for your comments. Like most of you, I had a laugh when new names came up. All these is a rather interesting facet of our culture. It reflects our fascination/affinity for some things. I would like to know who has the say when the final decision in naming a child comes up. But I guess it’s all to be respected, considering that parents have nine months to think of a name that a child will carry forever 🙂

Anyway, here’s the new list:
