Manny Pacquiao's Queen Elizabeth

If Manny Pacquiao will lose his fight against Ricky Hatton, his daughter's name will forever bring him nightmares. He'd wish he has given a different name for his baby hehe..

I understand Manny Pacquiao naming his daughter Queen Elizabeth as tantamount to honouring the Queen. Us, Filipinos, for your information, love to name our children after the people whom we idolize or adore. From conception, the parents are already choosing names for their child... if it's a boy, this would be the name... if it's a girl, this would be the name... isn't that the way parents in your respective places plan for baby names? Giving names of their own children is a prerogative as well as a privilege for both parents, and they understand the responsibility added into it. Most Filipinos love to give names attached to royalties, not because they would like them to be royalties when they grow up, but because each baby has his or her own charm that they find extraordinary. Giving names such as princess, lady, queen, earl, king, and so on and so forth, even if they are considered to be below poverty line, are parents' outlet of saying their child is very special, delicate, and deserves all the goodness they could afford to give. Besides, I look at people who ridicule others' names as insecure and narrow-minded. In pinoy term... "Inggit lang sila". No offense meant on anyone. Have a nice day.

I guess Manny Pacquiao watched the film "Elizabeth" and " Elizabeth the Golden Age". Perhaps, this has prompted him to name her youngest as Queen Elizabeth. But do you know that naming a child is somewhat deciding the fate of the child. According to Dr. Eric Berne, the prominent psychiatrist in life scripting, naming a child is like suggesting to him the very course of life that he should be doing. This is the same as those with name Jesus who end up having a savior complex or Maria with Virgin complex. Perhaps, Manny would like to name her child as she is because for one thing, Elizabeth is a virgin queen and she might not want her child to have suitors. Also, in the present day Elizabeth, Her Highness seems to be alienated with his husband who is Prince Philip (I do not know if my stock knowledge is correct). We came to conclude that Queen Elizabeth is somewhat having no husband because england only has a queen instead of a King. But so much for that, I guess naming Queen Elizabeth is something odd, he should have not put the title, but Elizabeth jus seems to be more appropriate.

hello totallyundecided, you know what, i also have the same thoughts when i heard the name! well, everyone has the right to name the child, but you know, we can never help but wonder if it is somehow related. =)

Maybe Manny thought, that if there is a named Princess , why not use Queen? hhahahhaa... What do you think totallyundecided? :)) Instead of Queeny which I already heard this name before, might use Queen for being Queen in their family I guess, lol just my opinion...... (wink)

Well, Pacquiao is someone to be looked up to in the world of boxing, but he sure got many more people looking upon him now after naming his daughter Queen Elizabeth! Now I don't know if you have the same sentiments as I do, but does Pacquiao want to build an empire? Naming his kids like Princess and Queen Elizabeth and winning all games adds to his money pile and running for a government position, it sure does looks like it, doesn't it?

LoL... That news really made me laughed. Wonder what will be the name of their next daughter/son. You see, this attitude is very Filipino. Don't mean to insult them or what, they have every right as a parent, but hey don't think their child will love the idea? Don't think so.. Just an opinion..

Hi totallyundecided. How's Cebu? Well, I have watched the news and it was one of the top stories being broadcast on Philippine Television. I also can't believe why they will name in Queen Elizabeth. Can we be more unique here? Even the baby's name has a touch of being famous. Anyway, it's their baby, not mine, so I guess if it will make them happy, i don't have anything else to say.

I don't think he named his daughter Queen Elizabeth because he wants to challenge Hatton next. In an interview before, he said that he already has a princess (his third child and first daughter), so now he wants a queen. You have to understand that the name is pretty cool for people from his background. He hasn't always been the classy guy anyway. :)

Well, people say it's just a name but many people are raising their eyebrows over this Queen Elizabeth name. No comment from me. I hope the child will like her name when she grows up. Lol!!!!! Happy New Year!!!

Oh well, that is their choice but if that's my child I will never choose that name it is because it has no significance in our life, I mean the real Queen Elizabeth has nothing to do with their new baby or any importance with their life. They rather named her Queen or Elizabeth not Queen Elizabeth.

he has given this name to her because if she will not become queen then still people will call her queen elizabeth. like the famous shakespere said whats there in the name?so it doesn't matter. and like the other member mentioned that flilippinos wants to give their child an american or a british name so this name is not a big deal or a point to be discussed. is it?

i was thinking the same thing when i saw it on tv.. i can't help but relate it to Ricky Hatton. oh well, its his right to name the kid, but if i was the one named Queen Elizabeth, i'll change it the minute i have the chance to, maybe scrap the "queen" hehehe..

no. he is not bragging about it. Manny Pacquiao is an intelligent man & a thinking man. Deep in his heart, he named her daughter as Queen Elizabeth because he wants her daughter to be a strong powerful woman like her namesake
