Ep 10: What’s in a Filipino Name?

We talk about Filipino name practices which confuse people of other nationalities, like our middle names are our mother’s maiden surname and sometimes we have nicknames that are nowhere to be found within our names.
We also bring up common naming practices in the Philippines like kids being named as a portmanteau of their parents’ names.

We discuss strange names and its possible impact on a person's life.
We reveal how we came up with our podcast name and explain what “banana cue” is for non Filipinos.
