September 28, 200421 yr We've just had a new Thai member of staff that's had our Singapore office in tears - Her (real) name is Titiporn. Any others anybody can think of?
September 28, 200421 yr Porn is a common abbreviation for a Thai girl. In Pattaya we have Porn Mobile - selling mobile phone services, Porn Hotel, Porn Laundry. Many that stand out in the street signs. But the loss of face for your poor girl must be terrible. The Singaporeans that I know would not hide their amusement.
September 28, 200421 yr Once had a guy work for us called Turdsak. thought that was quiet amusing. my boss is called Porntip.
September 28, 200421 yr Try telling some Thais that your name is Gary. If you don't get the tone right it makes you a whore/street walker. Hence my nickname...Gazza. Once had a business meeting with a guy named Anton and it was only later in the day that I read his business card properly and saw his full name.......Anton ######s.
September 28, 200421 yr A couple of years ago i had a girl in one of my classes called Supaporn. Always made me laugh.
September 28, 200421 yr Well my favorite's "Kittiporn"! conjures up................well let's not go there. Have you seen the Thai movie "I <deleted>"? The Thai name is as it sounds in English. I was rolling around when my GF told me the title and when I explained the pronunciation to her she walked round the house going "I <deleted>, I <deleted>" Aparently it's the lead male's name in the movie!
September 28, 200421 yr I know a Pornsuk, that is pretty awful. It's a guy too, Porn isn't just for girls. I also know a guy named Pornchit (could also be pronounced Pornshit ). I told my husband if we ever had kids with Thai names there would be no Porns no Suks and no Schits.
September 28, 200421 yr My first secretary was called Muay - I kept calling her Moi, which is Thai for pubes, she used to hammer me for it and by the time I'd mastered the pronounciation she was leaving to start uni. Her replacement was called Tawat. Frying pan / fire.
September 28, 200421 yr My Aunt-in-law is a porn too: Ratinaporn I mentally always add Film to the end Rat-in-a-porn-film, makes me giggle every time.
September 29, 200421 yr My boss told me when he was younger he worked at the YMCA with a Vietnamese man. His name was Phuk Tran.
September 29, 200421 yr My wifes Thai name is Pornstar. Ok I made that up , its Waraporn , not even slightly amusing!
September 29, 200421 yr "porn" is not an unusual part-name in Thailand. I lived with a lady named Pornthip in 1960-61. I think one of the Miss Thailand winners was named Pornthip too. "Lipschitz" is a nice Jewish name. This is the woman you speak of Rod 1988 winner of the Miss Universe Pageant Pornthip Nakhirunkanok
September 29, 200421 yr Once tricked a swedish/finnish friend of mine (Jari) to pronounce his name with a strong G instead of the J. In my simple mind quite funny when ladies would ask him: What you name? and he would simply reply: Ga-Li! (yes, that's a bad word for prostitute in thai). Had to break up a fight or two over that...funny though..no? /// dfw
September 29, 200421 yr This is the woman you speak of Rod 1988 winner of the Miss Universe Pageant Pornthip Nakhirunkanok Now that is one beautiful lady, in anyone's language! (Looks like she kept her figure well, even after having all those kids.) She must be very loving!!! only her and another thai lady have won miss universe can you imagine that!!! only two thai women have had that title amazing.
September 29, 200421 yr Author A friends gf is called Jim. Pronounced wrongly I'm told it means pussy! Our accountant has the same name. It certaintly doesn't mean "brains".
September 29, 200421 yr My wife`s name is Pornpen. She does not write erotic novels. Try this with Thai friends, ask if they want to eat some Mc Dah-naow = Stinky dick Dzak Dah-San (Jack Dawson,Titanic movie) = Short dick Miss Loobee ( Miss Ruby) = Tiny pussy
September 29, 200421 yr At my office......... Pornthip Air Art Chawat (sounds like....) Cartoon Dum Jim (careful with that one.....u could be saying pussy) Bussaraporn Pornpun Varaporn Thitiporn Panpiss ( poor girl - but shes a hornbag) Thittima Sunshine Turd and last but not least.....FRANK ........and shes a lovely woman ......who should kill her parents...........haha !
September 29, 200421 yr I've got Tittiporn. Well a girl in my class. was doing reports today and realised she has that name. I really know my kids by their nicknames. Its much easier.
