Name meanings

Fellows, Here are the meanings of my names.

Kyle- My aunt's Husband, Sir Mark Choi, named me after the character from the Terminator 1, Kyle Reese who tried to save Sarah Connor the father of John Connor, the Head of the resistance against Skynet.

Well, the meaning is

" It is of Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "narrow, straight". Place name that refers either to a narrow body of water between two land masses, or to a peninsula or isthmus."

It is actual a unisexual name. It can be used for Males and Females alike.

Victor- I am named after my late paternal grandfather Lt. Gen. Victor Arizabal Mayo and my late guardian Victor Vanzi. My 1st cousin Joseph Victor Mayo Choi is named too after my grandfather. Therefore, I am the 3rd one in the known family to have a Victor in his name excluding my guardian.

"It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "champion". A very popular saint's name common in Christian Rome, as was the female form Victoria."

Jose- Is my surname, which is also my mother's maiden name, before she was married to her husband, Ronald Renolla.


Counterfactual Thinking (CT):
1) If I were to be born within a married family, my name will then be, Kyle Victor J. Mayo
2) If I were to be born outside a married family, and should there also be a middle name or initial, my name will then be, Kyle Victor N. Jose

Now, according to my birth certificate, my 1st names are Kyle Victor and my surname is Jose.
Is there any way I can pursue the 2nd option of the CT?


Was there even a law being born without a middle initial in the Philippines? There are many unanswered questions. My father is offering me for a surname change through due process. From Jose to Mayo, to cover my identity with my Father's side. Is CT#1 still possible?


I think I better stick with this name instead because the change of name is the change of identity and it may be too confusing and too expensive. Let me think about this for a while.

Coincidentaly, I too was named after Victor Vanzi. He was the cousin of my late mother (Doris Robison) of the San Francisco bay area. Vic was one of my favorite adult cousins. Kids were always drawn to him because of his sense of humor.
