ArchivesGoring (& Philippine typhoon names)
I recently submitted "Goring" as a Filipino nickname of Gordon... as it is on the PAGASA typhoon naming list. But it got removed. For context:
PAGASA typhoon naming lists do use "names" that aren't given names, in the case of "tamaraw" (a bovine in the Philippines), though they do use actual names as well... see Nonoy, Egay, Florita, or Yoyong, just 4 examples of many. Though, I'm confident Goring is a name & I'd like to resubmit it. Sources have told me it is a nickname of Gordon, & nicknames used in the Philippines are on the website. See Egay (diminutive of Edgar) & Yoyong (diminutive of Mateo.) Are there any people from the Philippines who could help me make sure my information is correct?
Edited for grammar mistakes.
