Boy names in the Philippines — how to use this list

Popularity here is how often the given name appears in Philippine records, not a style rating. A common first name can still be a poor fit with a long maiden surname; a rarer name can sit cleanly. After you shortlist, open a surname pair or compare first names with both family names.
