HelpRe: Filipino names...
in reply to a message by Joiya
Wow, this looks really interesting.
For girls, I like Mahala, Maralit and Tala.
For boys, I like Dakila and Nimuel.
For both girls & boys, I like Danao and Simoy.
I'm surprised to see that Halina, which is my maternal grandmother's name, is also used as a Filipino name and has a different meaning to the Halina that is used in Poland, which comes from Galen meaning "calm." I might show her this whenever I get the chance to go on vacation :)

You should!
It's actually one of the names that is still quite popular there. It is a combo of two words. If you yell "hali-na!" it means "come join us!".
It's pronounced almost like holly-NA instead of ha-leena.
