HelpRe: Top 10 for August
in reply to a message by Caprice
Why change when you have some great winners in the mix?!
Amaryllis is just always an amazing choice. It's just so pretty, yet quirky. It fits right in to so many categories, I am always wondering why more people don't use it.
Lark and Christine have been on my mind lately too. Christine is just so sturdy even though it is popular. It can be sweet or stern, which is something I like in a name. Lark is just one of those smile-words. It makes a great image for a name.
I have never met a Tage pronounced the way you listed. It sounds nice, but would take getting used to.
I do really like Hannes, Bram and Bastien though. Gems I would say.

Answer + question
Thank you!
Tage is a very typical Swedish name, but not that common. It has nothing to do with similar looking English names such as Teague.
Do you think you could explain some Philippine nicknames for me? I have understood that it's common with nicknames like Jing Jing, Ta Ta, To To, etc. What could a boy called Bap Bap be named? How about a boy called Weng Weng?

Filipino nicknames are great, right? So random and quirky.
If the nickname is not directly related to the name (i.e. JoJo for Josephine or something), it could be a sound or title that is just repeated. Think of Johnathan nicknamed TanTan (my nephew).
BapBap might be because the person was the youngest in their family and "bap" is like baby sounds. Like "goo goo ga ga" in English.
Weng Weng is easy though, because Weng is an endearing term for a brother. Not the oldest brother though. We have a friend (Joey) who is called Weng by his friends.
Jing would be similar for girls. Though, I have heard JinJin more.
My husband really, really wants to call Nadine DinDin. I said no, but he says "My NaDinDinDin!" to her in a singsong voice all the time and she loves it.
