For example: John--which is a good name unchanged. For Filipinos John will become Jhon. Or Christopher to become kristoper. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just seriously curious about it.

Well, Filipino alphabet is different from English alphabet.
John for example is pronounce as "Jan" in the Tagalog. Jhon on the other hand can be pronounced "Jon". They just added "h" to make it different from the other "Jon".
Christopher can be pronounced as "Kristoper" for some since they derived it from the Filipino alphabet instead of the English alphabet.
Despite of the difference and some similarities of spelling and/or pronunciation, I don't see anything wrong with people doing this because they want to be different. I don't think people doing this belong to class C or D as well, they just want to practice their freedom.
My mom is not used to the spelling of my name because it was derived from an English name. Until now, she still mispells it and I don't see anything wrong with it. Yes, she didn't finish her high school during her time, but it doesn't mean that her intellectual standards are low.

generally, the unhappy actuality is that no longer each body is fit to be a figure. psychological ailment, anger and rage topics, and all round ineptitude endanger little ones daily. that's basically the excuses that they can't do some thing about, there is also drug and alcohol abuse, and the occasional prostitution problem. regrettably there is not any thanks to quit human beings from having young ones adverse to their will. some human beings you may tell should not be allowed out in the streets, yet they're allowed to have young ones. i visit ring your doorbell and run away!!!

Yeah, some names sound cute & some is a bit unpleasant & unacceptable to hear but what the heck like just in other countries ...
For instance: A name like
English = Conception,
Spanish = Concepcion or concepto,
Italian = concezione
German = Auffassung ,
So it really depends on which country you are in. (--,)

Hi! I have a friend and her name is Zenaida & she freaks out everytime we call her her real name that's why we just put in our mind that her name should be Zenen. HAHAHA!

They think it's cute or fancy but it's just plain nonsense. You find this practice mostly among the lower C and D classes.
