What's in a name, you ask? Surely not "vowels" in the case of a newborn boy from Carmen, Cotabato who was given an unusual name that is difficult to pronounce and spell. A family from Phillipines has recently named their baby boy as Ghlynnyl Hylhyr Yzzyghyl Mampuan Buscato. As per reports, the name was decided by the baby’s grandfather Raugyl Ferolin Estrera. The name is so difficult that even the official who processed the baby’s birth certificate had to reprint the document because they committed errors in spelling his name.
To make things easier for everybody, Grandfather Estrera vowed to give his grandson a simpler name and nicknamed him “Consonant,” owing to the absence of regular vowels in the boy’s real name. However, the letter Y, which is commonly regarded as a consonant, and also considered a special vowel is present in the name’s spelling.
Speaking to the media, Estrera explained that his grandchild’s name, “Ghlynnyl Hylhyr Yzzyghyl” was formed by combining a few letters from his name as well as the names of the child’s father, mother, and grandmother. He further added that a few letters from baby Consonant’s name was also derived from his niece’s name.
