What's in a Name? Part 2

The other day, my sister picked me up from the house and we went to mom's house to spend Christmas there.

She had told me the previous week that she was expecting a boy. Great!! I have another nephew. I was curious as to what she would call him. So I thought of some possible names.

Its true that in the Philippines, parents are very creative in choosing names for their kids. There are the usual staples, such as naming the kid after the dad. So there's always "Junior." Or other versions of it like 'Jun" or "Jun-jun" or "JR" or "Jay-R." But I think you get my drift.

Or the more creative one of combining the mother's and father's name to make a new name. And I figured that this is another option that my sister would take so I thought this was a possible name, so my nephew would probably be named "Justmono" or "Monojust" hehehe...just kidding ate!!!

Anyways, my sister said they're naming him, "Alexander" like Alexander the Great. I just hope he'll be great. I'm sure he won't try to hard, he is already in our eyes.
