Their father, Rufino Ramil San Juan V, said he started the naming tradition with the oldest child as a means of teaching the government about flexibility. "My first child was born, but I was not happy when people in charge of her documents showed little imagination," San Juan said. "The form had a very short empty line where I was expected to fill out with my daughter's name. I asked, 'What if I decide to give my child a longer name?' and got the reply, 'You can't do that.'
