I found it incredible the way the Philippine authorities are absolute sticklers when it comes to names.
I wanted to give my daughter two middle names, naming her for my mum and Ana's mum, the family looked at me like I had just completely lost the plot, but it was when I mentioned to our doctor and she also looked at me like I was certifiable that I gave up.
Everyone said your daughter will hate you because she will have to write her full name at the top of every paper and test that she will ever get at school college and University and there often won't be enough space![]()
