In my Kindergarten yearbook the nick indicated there was 'TATA" and i remember that my brothers teased me "tata-lata" when we quarrel because my nose is flat unlike theirs. Our Villa neighbors call me "ADAK" because the name of my lolo is "Adok. i introduce myself in school as "ILDA" but my kababatas shout "BUDAKIS" to make me look their way. My mother told me that they want "Ana" as my name but my grandparents insisted on "Ilda" since I am the "juniora" of my tatay "Ilde.
i was 10 when my kuya named me "BUDAK" which means chubby that somehow confuses me because i was thin then. Oh! how I wish to correct the nasty spelling in our Grade school yearbook--- "VHODUK". Only my close friends in school call me "daks" but when my kababata and i became classmates during high school, my kababata never called me ilda but let everybody knEw the "dux" guess what? ---the monosyllable-name bacame a fad that we called each other of our nicks (Rye for Ryan, Che for Rosschelle, Eng for Irish, Chem for Cherry Mae, Cheng for Cherrylene, Anj for Angelie, Myang for Mayrie Lovella, Jays for Jason, Rein for Reinhard, Sag for Isagani, Mon for Raymond, Hae for Altheamae, Yen for Karen etc...)
i am only addressed as "ilda" when scolded with the "marie" after it hehe.. my family or shall i say my clan managed to adopt "dux" from "ilda" with the exception of a few of course specially those who i only mingle with during rEunions. i used my nick in creating my ym account 11 years ago.
During college, i think only my teachers call me ilda :)and the same in law school. For 12 years the creative folks modified my name into:
1. DAKI -- by my ate or others when they are sweet or when they ask a favor
2. DUXOLOGY-- by Shajani to relate me to study
3. DUXIMOS -- by kuya Jex and i don't know why maybe he finds like a "hippo" hehe
4. DUXTH -- by kuya RJ maybe because his bible is King James Version
5. DOX -- by ate Jolina, she said that it sounds like "box"
6. DUXIE, DUXY wala lang ewan
7. FLASHLIGHT-- tita grace, nawala ang dux, ang linaw at dilat raw ng mata ko
8. BUDIK -- ate jing, for "idik" or piglet
9. DANG- by mommy CeliaMae
10. DACKS, DACS, DAX, DUCKS, DUXEY, -- WRONG SPELLING
whatever name they call me i would always be certain that it is I who they refer to and i think that is the same with the Lord whether we call Him, Wonderful Conselor, King of the Jews, Savior, Almighty God, Jesus, Holy Spirit etc---He knows that it is Him who we address to.
my tatay and my nanay still call me "tata" and tata means --palangga :) but what i love the most is "ate ilda" --that is how my younger brother addresses me until now.
ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA:
Dux (plural: duces) is Latin for leader (from the verb ducere, 'to lead') and later for Duke.
During the Roman Republic, dux could refer to anyone who commanded troops, including foreign leaders, but was not a formal military rank. In writing his commentaries on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar uses the term only for Celtic generals, with one exception for a Roman commander who held no official rank.[1] In some Western countries, it is a title given to the top student in academic and sporting achievement.
Question: "What are the different names of God and what do they mean?"
Answer: Each of the many names of God describes a different aspect of His many-faceted character. Here are some of the better known names of God in the Bible:
EL, ELOAH: God "mighty, strong, prominent" (Genesis 7:1; Isaiah 9:6) – Etymologically, El appears to mean power, as in “I have the power to harm you” (Genesis 31:29). El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (Numbers 23:19), jealousy (Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of might remains.
ELOHIM: God “Creator, Mighty and Strong” (Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:33) – The plural form of Eloah, which is accommodating of the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible’s first sentence, the superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (Genesis 1:1).
EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty,” “The Mighty One of Jacob” (Genesis 49:24; Psalm 132:2,5) – Speaks to God’s ultimate power over all.
ADONAI: “Lord” (Genesis 15:2; Judges 6:15) – Used in place of YHWH, which was thought by the Jews to be too sacred to be uttered by sinful men. In the Old Testament, YHWH is more often used in God’s dealings with His people, while Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles.
YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH: “LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Daniel 9:14) – Strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from Adonai “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (Psalm 25:11) and guidance (Psalm 31:3).
YAHWEH-JIREH: "The Lord will Provide" (Genesis 22:14) – The name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac.
YAHWEH-RAPHA: "The Lord Who Heals" (Exodus 15:26) – “I am Jehovah who heals you” both in body and soul. In body, by preserving from diseases, and by curing them when afflicted with them and in soul, by pardoning their iniquities.
YAHWEH-NISSI: "The Lord Our Banner" (Exodus 17:15), where banner is understood to be a rallying place. This name commemorates the desert victory over the Amalekites in Exodus 17.
YAHWEH-M'KADDESH: "The Lord Who Sanctifies, Makes Holy" (Leviticus 20:8; Ezekiel 37:28) – God makes it clear that He alone, not the law, could cleanse His people and make them holy.
YAHWEH-SHALOM: "The Lord Our Peace" (Judges 6:24) – The name given by Gideon to the altar he built after the Angel of the Lord assured him he would not die as he thought he would after seeing Him.
YAHWEH-ELOHIM: "LORD God" (Genesis 2:4; Psalm 59:5) – Combination of God’s unique name YHWH and the generic “Lord,” signifying that He is the Lord of Lords.
YAHWEH-TSIDKENU: "The Lord Our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 33:16) – As with YHWH-M’Kaddesh, it is God alone who provides righteousness to man, ultimately in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became sin for us “that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
YAHWEH-ROHI: "The Lord Our Shepherd" (Psalm 23:1) – After David pondered his relationship as a shepherd to his sheep, he realized that was exactly the relationship God had with him, and so he declares “Yahweh-Rohi is my Shepherd. I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1).
YAHWEH-SHAMMAH: "The Lord is There” (Ezekiel 48:35) – The name ascribed to Jerusalem and the Temple there, indicating that the once departed glory of the Lord (Ezekiel 8—11) had returned (Ezekiel 44:1-4).
YAHWEH-SABAOTH: "The Lord of Hosts" (Isaiah 1:24; Psalm 46:7) – “Hosts” means hordes, both of angels and of men. He is Lord of the host of heaven, and of the inhabitants of the earth, of Jews and Gentiles, of rich and poor, master and slave. The name is expressive of the majesty, power, and authority of God and shows that he is able to accomplish what he determines to do.
EL ELYON: “Most High" (Deuteronomy 26:19) – Derived from the Hebrew root for “go up” or “ascend,” so the implication is of that which is the very highest. El Elyon denotes exaltation and speaks of absolute right to lordship.
EL ROI: "God of Seeing" (Genesis 16:13) – The name ascribed to God by Hagar, alone and desperate in the wilderness after being driven out by Sarah (Genesis 16:1-14), when she met the Angel of the Lord and realized she had seen God Himself in a theophany. She realized that El Roi saw her in her distress and testified that He is a God who lives and sees all.
EL-OLAM: "Everlasting God" (Psalm 90:1-3) – God’s nature is without beginning or end, free from all constraints of time and contains within Himself the very cause of time itself. “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”
EL-GIBHOR: “Mighty God” (Isaiah 9:6) – The name describing the Messiah, Christ Jesus, in this prophetic portion of Isaiah. As a powerful and mighty warrior, the Messiah, the Mighty God, will accomplish the destruction of God’s enemies and rule with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15).
