HelpOh no!
in reply to a message by Aine
I did not know what Malakas meant in Greek until I just looked it up!! Oh no.
I had no idea. In Tagalog, it means "strong" but is a characteristics of a person (like a personal adjective).
He is a character in the Filipino myth of creation, which borrows heavily from the Judeo-Christian account. Malakas and Maganda would be like Adam and Eve.
My husband had his heart set on this name for a boy!!!
Now I will have to change it to Makisig!

Hahahaha I assumed it was a Tagalog name but I thought I should tell you in the off chance you ever have another because it's pretty commonly known by people who aren't Greek, don't speak Greek, but have had any extended contact with people of a Greek background. I also never quite know if people are kidding on these boards sometimes because some posters put up funny names and I didn't know if it was that or serious ^_^
Poor Julius!

I have a Greek aunt, so I am sure it would come up!
Told my husband last night. He was mortified. Is ok though bc I always wanted a son named Olin, but it's pretty much the same as Malakas in Visayan.
