When the 2013 UPCAT results were released last week, local netizens made a fiesta out of the name of one successful examinee Sincerely Yours ’98. She’s nicknamed Truly and has two other siblings: Spaghetti ’88 and Macaroni ’85. The numbers stand for their date of birth.
Spaghetti ’88 has since gotten married and has a son named Cheese Pimiento. And here’s the birth cert (photo & details via my kumare Ivy Lisa Mendoza)
Our friend, Prof. Rolando de la Cruz, CEO of Darwin International School in Bulacan where Sincerely Yours (nicknamed Truly) graduated, explained that the parents are simply jolly good people who didn’t hesitate to break the monotony of the world with the strangeness of their children’s names.
“The names of the kids might sound funny to people. But these names reflect how much they enjoy and respect life. The names are unique, reflect in the uniqueness of the members. The names are down-to-earth, reflecting how much they enjoy daily living,” Prof. Rolly said.
In this ever-growing country of 100 million people, strange names are probably not a rarity. Here’s what other people contributed via Facebook and Rappler of true-to-life Filipino names that are funny and/or far from common:
1. Four siblings named: Dore, Mifa, Sola & Tido
2. 12 siblings named: A,B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K & L (whew!)
3. Mcrhonald

I was named Christmas bec of my birth date. Fail. Hahaha! But it has always been fun when i meet new people and get to introduce myself. Lol
Ang pangalan ng mga pinsan ko: Jallibee at Kia.
I have students named Jollibee Sidaya, Elvis Presley Perez and Christmas Ramos. They are all shy and timid. Probably because they were the center of jokes when they were young.
The parents may have a great sense of humor but they should’ve thought first of what repercussion it will bring to their kids with such names. That or they should’ve guided/reared them better…
Hi, sorry to rain on the laughter parade, but a birth certificate is a very private document containing personal information that could endanger a person’s security. It’s not the type of document that should be passed around randomly on the internet. I hope you’ll have the prudence and good conscience to take it down or at least redact the other parts.
we’re eleven in the family and we are named alphabetically…we think that it wil be much easier for us and for our parents to recognize who’s older and not…and also to remember the names…so for us it’s fine anyways we’re not given funny names…
we’re eleven in the family and we’re named alphabetically…we think that it will be much easier for us and for our parents to recognize who’s older and younger and also easier to remember names since we know that all of us grows old and sometimes or a lot times remembering names is difficult…so for us it’s just fine anyways we’re not given funny names..

I am an undergrad associate professor and i always make it a point to ask my students where their names originated. I believe that one’s name has a bearing on what they are and what they become in the future. For my students who do not know where their names came from, i make it their assignment to discover its origin. This has always been a fun first day of school experience for my students and i’ve been doing this for the past twenty years. 😉
