Filipinos have English names and speak English?
The article states:

"Most of the newer generation have English Christian names because most Filipinos never speak Spanish. Almost all Filipinos speak English as it is required to do business, and the vast majority of advertising is in English."

Very few Filipinos have English names. *Incorrect; the majority have English Christian names (i.e. John instead of Juan)*

English is never used in business here. *Incorrect; while Filipino (Tagalog) is as if not more common than English, they are both national languages. Without a doubt a non English speaker will have troubles in most business arenas in the Philippines*

Only a few Filipinos can speak minimal bad English in Manila...   *Incorrect, and colored by an amazing degree of that writers personal experience. The level here is much higher than most Asian countries, in every regard*  *  -REPLIES BY Coloradochipchilders (talk) 01:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Indigenous surnames
Looks like the section about indigenous surnames have been deleted. While keeping a short list of such surnames (with their possible definitions) can be better than removing them as indiscriminate, why not explain provide an explanation of their origin and common orthography? Native surnames form also most Filipino surnames, and why not improve it instead of removing It? It will be all right to restore them, but with a shorter list and explanation of their origins.

 * In the spirit of WP:No original research, the information on this page should be referenced. You must find a book or something reliable that lists the meaning of the surnames you want to add. Binksternet (talk) 14:09, 26 July 2017 (UTC)


 * It can be likely that there are possible sources, like books or any other RS, but I cannot have such access to those, plus, the majority of sources on Web searches fall on self-published sources, like blogs or personal websites. While there is a reliable source for popular given names in the Philippines, such as data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (2005 data), it will be difficult to find RS regarding surnames, unless one goes to a library or do a in-depth research on the Web. -TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 04:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * In that case, the "no original research" policy would tell us that the list of names will not be coming back until such a list can be directly attributable to a published source. Binksternet (talk) 05:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Surname lists
This had been once deleted, but readded, but their entries is better mentioned in Wiktionary rather than here. A short list of such can be left, but others may need to be moved. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 06:25, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

If Spanish surnmes are to be housed in Wiktionary instead, then why not do the same to the listing of other surnames...? -trAjAn0- (talk) 03:38, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

What country?
The article states:

"The Tagalog language is one of the few national languages in Asia to use the Western name order. "

What country is Tagalog a national language?210.185.160.235 (talk) 12:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Strictly speaking, it should be the "Filipino language", though Filipino and Tagalog are practically 99.9% mutually intelligible. Titus III (talk) 15:02, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

New Page: "List of Filipino names"
Title says it - the list of names from the different other languages is getting too long. I think it should be its own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RBolton123 (talk • contribs) 13:42, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I think it should be pretty much culled entirely. It's not sourced and it serves no real purpose at its length. --Equivamp - talk 17:53, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You have a good point. But I still think it should be split, so that navigating the main article wouldn't be a hassle. Maybe this would stimulate adding sources. RBolton123 (talk) 11:47, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Islamic/Muslim names
It would be helpful if there was a section on Filipino Islamic/Muslim naming convention, particularly how it applies or differs in the Philippines which generally uses the first name-family name pattern. 27.110.162.42 (talk) 08:07, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
