Because I'm online and can't sleep tonight again...
"First names in the Philippines can be really funny. It's an English speaking country and a lot of the names are indeed English but not in a way you would expect... 
Here is a list of actual first names of some colleagues and friends. Realize that this is a selection of P&G people only and not an exotic collection of extreme names! These are normal, accepted names!! I even grouped them somehow...
The noisy ones: Ding, Dingdong, Bing, Bong, Bingbong, Bongbong, Pong, Jing
The months: April, May, June
Fruit cases: Apple, Orange, Peachy
Fruity cases: Queenie, Gay, Lolita, Eden, Baby, Joy
Aspiring: Aristotle, Caesar, Dante, Homer, Voltaire
Sheer pretentious: Pope, King, Divine, Genie, Madonna, Venus
Double takes: Tintin, Katkat, Sansan, Yangyang, Geebee, Peegee
Sentimental: Precious, Lovely, Wowie, Melody, Pinky, Normaly, Blessy
Just funny: She, Shy, Smile, Gosh, Speed"
