Girl names in the Philippines — how to use this list

The number on a card is how often the name appears in the civil registry as of May 2021. It is not a style rating, and it is not the 2024 birth list. A very common name can still sound awkward with a long maiden surname, and a less common name can sit cleanly. After you shortlist, open a surname pair or compare first names with both family names.
