Hello all

can someone please spell out my wife's name in Thai fonts? I want to get a tatoo and need it big enough for tranfer.

Her name is : Siripa :

Thanks a lot.

Since the transliteration has to be phonetic, one needs to know how your wife pronounces her name.

Siripa - สิริภา, some use ศ instead of ส - ศิริภา

Probably wise to get her to write it or get it off her id card. You've already got two spellings and my luck would be to choose the wrong one

Thanks for the input...I think I'll get her to write it out and send it to me...be just my luck to have the tat read wrong...for life

You may also want to consult your wife on where on your body you will be having the tattoo done. It could be considered disrespectful to have it too low down on your body.

Thanks for that point. I was looking to have her picture ( if can find a great artist) and her name around my heart.Wanted it a surprise,but best get the name right and placement as this will be on for life.

Thanks

Another point that's been looking in the back of my mind:

Thais view their "real" names as rather formal, used only for official purposes such as work or legal matters. Many identify more with their nicknames (Nok, Ying, Pui. etc.) and some might find it a bit funny to see their formal name used in a tattoo. Which name do you use when talking with her?

Another good point Her "nickname" and the name I ( we)call her is "Noi" and just thought her official name would have more meaning......better rethink this whole thing...she's not a fan of tatoos anyway, but I thought this would "prove" my love for her I'm in the states working $$ and thought this would be a great surprise when I first take off my shirt when I come home later this year...now I'm wondering ( first tatoo if I do it )
