This is the second part of my foreigner friend’s funny observation about Filipino cultures.

Friend: Hey janjan, why does Filipino have two names?
Me: What do you mean by that?
Friend: For example, your name, it’s janjan, same as dondon’s name.
Me: Oh, you mean we like to have repetitive names in our nicks.
Friend: Yes. What’s the deal with that?
Me: I really don’t know the reason (cause at that time I really don’t know the reason)
Friend: OK.

But now I think I have an incling on why we ‘love’ repetitive nicknames. See Filipino names are not that unique so we tend to repeat the name to differentiate a person from another one with the same name. John is different from JohnJohn which in turn is different from Johnnyboy. I am also betting that the reason we have repetitive names is that it just rolls out of our tongue or maybe the person we are calling are semi-deaf. For example, I called john’s attention but he is semi-deaf, so I have to say, ‘john, john listen to me’ so in a way your name becomes johnjohn. Well that is my reason. What do you think about it? Why do we ‘love’ having repetitive nicknames.

Man: Why did you make women so beautiful?
God: So that you will love her
Man: But why on earth did you make them so stupid?
God: …So that she will love you.
