Jedsada3 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Call her however you like, her grand parents will give her a nickname and everyone will call her by it. It's Thai unwritten law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenbrwn1 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 A name without the letter 'r'. If it's easy for all the family to say , the less chance if any they will give her a nickname. My daughter is named Olivia...she has no nickname..so far at nearly 8 years ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLewis Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Why have a Thai name? She is going to be surrounded by everything Thai, give her the name you prefer. Mine do not have a Thai name at all, but have Thai nicknames made by friends and family from the Western style name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dating a university lecturer and a student came into her office for a chat, he was a chubby chap called Ouan, it seemed very strange for a lecturer to be openly calling a student fat to his face.

munchlet Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I am assuming that the young lady concerned is of mixed heritage. You should therefore try to give her names that can adapt to both cultures. A couple of my faves are Marisa (Marissa/Melissa, especially since Thais have difficulty with their R's) Janejira (can become Jane) Apasara (Sarah) Chimlin (Lynn) But there are many more As to Thai nicknames, your Thai family will help with this, but I am sure they will allow you input. I hope they dont go for some of the modern horrors like "Benz". Porn would cause all kinds of problems in the Western world. I like the old ones like Noi, Maew, Uan (especially when they are thin!!) etc etc. Happy choosing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenewgoo Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Make sure it's something mum can pronounce - I was going to call mine Claudia but it proved a tongue twister and sounded all wrong when my wife said it. The old 'l' and 'r' problem. Turned out it was a boy anyway. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceN Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 There's an important historic event coming up soon, a royal funeral. Why not honor the late king with a name that marks your daughter's entry on the scene? Bhumiporn is a feminine version version of the beloved, departed king's name.

fin5prtw Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I've had students with terrible names in the past... Airbus, Ferrari, uefa, man-u..... Urgh! I would like her to have either a Thai name & more western 'nickname' or a shorter & pronounceable western name without a nickname... Husband really wants her to have a traditional Thai name, hence asking for some advice, all of which is much appreciated :) some very nice suggestions so far.
