Appendix:Tagalog given names
Main page: Category:Tagalog given names
This appendix lists given names of the Tagalog-speaking people.
Tagalog given names are usually of these types: Spanish, English, and native names. The common trend on naming is mostly using English names, through many Spanish given names may still be popular. Given names are mostly composed of one or two individual names, with three or more on some cases. Usually, where two given names are used, they tend to be from one source language, but given names composed of two or more names from different languages also occur. Usually in the case of two given names, with the exception of true compound names, such as some Spanish given names like Jose Maria (male, most commonly shortened to Jomari or Jomar), and a few English ones, like Mary Ann, only one of them is used in everyday conversation.
This appendix lists given names alphabetically using the Filipino alphabet (with Ñ and NG as separate letters), and by type. Common hypocoristics, usually used as nickname are listed after each.
Spanish-derived given names
editThis list also includes given names that are spelled the same in English, but pronounced differently.
While accents (except the tilde in Ñ) are not normally written except with historical figures, accents are provided for pronunciation.

editDiminutives
editDiminutives, hypocoristics, or pet forms, in Tagalog are usually formed by adding the suffixes -ng (both genders, e.g. Berting for Alberto, Norberto, or Roberto, or Maring for Maria), -ay (female names: e.g. Chichay, Pepay) or -oy (male names, e.g. Buboy, Nonoy) to a short form of a name, or clipping a longer name to two syllables (e.g. Cora for Corazon). Most hypocoristic forms are based on a Spanish diminutive form, commonly with the suffixes added. In other cases, reduplication (e.g. Tonton, for Anton, Antonio, or Anthony), Anglicization (e.g. Connie for Consolacion) or English-based forms (e.g. Joey for Jose) are used. Diminutives using -ng are no longer popular, with forms using the suffixes -ay/-oy, clipped forms, reduplicated names, and English-based diminutives being more common.
