A1: Upon childbirth, the parents collect assorted metal objects (i.e., spoons, knives, cooking pots) and throw them on the floor. The resulting sound (i.e., Ding Kling Tang) is the name. A2: (more crude, for rural areas): Upon childbirth, the parents throw the baby out of the window. The resulting sounds (i.e., Yeah, Hoo Bang) is the child's name.
