I mean for Chinese, yes they don't put Arabic numerals in the name. However numbers are quite common. Just to name a few 王一博 (wang yibo)，张一山 (zhang yishan)，江一燕 (jiang yiyan) all have 1 (一）and 孙千 (sun qian)，易烊千玺 (yi yangqianxi) has 1000 （千）。

I get paperwork back from a lot of places and was told you need to put E in Ellen as your middle initial, and I always tell them, my first name is Maryellen and I have no middle name

[onzkie]

may kababayan forgot that Filipino love Redundant Words even in Names, I expect her to react to Dong Dong name. that kind of naming are also common in the Philippines. Dondon, Mac Mac, Nene, Nini, May May, LuLu, Jon Jon, Bek Bek, JoJo, Mic Mic etc.. although commonly its a nickname. there are also Filipino legal names using the same manner, like Bernardo Bernardo, Razon Razon etc...

I have travelled widely and met people of many different races and nationalities, and in my opinion the Philippines has the widest variety of names in the world.

As mentioned in the video, most of the surnames are Hispanic, with a variety of other Western surnames, but there are are also a large number of native Filipino surnames, as well as many Philippine people with Chinese and other Asian surnames, (even Japanese and Korean surnames occasionally).

But it is in the field of given names ("first name"/"Christian name") where Filipinos really show their imagination and ingenuity. Apart from some goofy names like those mentioned,
and native Philippine names, Filipinos/Filipinas use a lot of Spanish and Portuguese names, a wide variety of English names (both ones that are common in the USA, including some fairly rare ones, and also some that are seldom used outside the UK. But it is not at all unusual to meet Filipinos with French, German, Italian, Nordic or Slavic first names, and some Arabic first names are also quite popular, even among the non-Muslim community in the Philippines.

The Korean gentleman and the Filipina lady mentioned the occasional practice in Western countries of addressing people by just their surname. Since I have met a lot of Asian people, particularly people whose first language is not English, who do this wrongly, I would just like to explain the etiquette behind how the surname is used in this way. Generally, the surname (only) is only used with people one knows well, but are not personal friends, e.g. colleagues working in the same organisation or classmates at a school or college. Also, a senior person in an organisation or a member of the teaching staff at a school may use the surname only to address a person working under them.

However, it is NOT correct (in fact it is considered rude) to use this form of address to a stranger, a customer/client, or a superior. With such people, one should use "Sir"/"Madam" (or "Ma'am") or use the title Mr./Mrs./Miss before the person's surname if one knows it.

Regarding using the person's first name alone, in the USA and some other American -influenced places, the use of first names is widespread even among relative strangers, but in the UK and many European countries, first names are reserved for family and close friends, and it is considered rude to use another person's first name without their invitation or permission.😢
