I like Mali, my neice in Uk is called Jasmine & I threatened, when preggers & before we knew he was a he, that I would call the baby Mali if a girl so they would both be called Jasmine but in different langauges. My neice loved te idea & even suggested we call the baby girl (tha never was) Mali Jasmine (surname) just to confuse things more

[torrenova]

Ask the mother, they usually know what they want and as long as it is not horrendous, I'd just go along with that.

My wife decided to call our son (now nearly 4) Parinthon with a short name of Tiw.

Like my name is William (Bill) and I havent been called that since school, if I call him Parinthon he isnt sure who I am talking to.

[ilyushin]

I voted "Kalaya". Congratulations in-advance.

[BIG SPUDS]

i still cant decide

[garro]

I selected Nattaya. When my son was born I gave my wife the choice of five nicknames and she selected one. She did the same for me with his Thai name.

[mrt273nva]

Mali. That was my wife's name before she changed it. i guess it wasn't lucky or something. so maybe it isn't a good name after all. but i like it.

[canuckamuck]

I like 'Other'. The name of a strong individual who won't accept being labled.

ThaiVisa being called upon to name a newborn? Wow, a possible first? Start the celebration!!!!

(P.S. I voted "Kannika"--easy for a farang to say, and the cutest student in my class has the same name )

[lannarebirth]

I like Mali. The few I've met spell it Malee, which I prefer also. Congrats on the new baby.

[thaiclan]

I used to like Mali, until I read the New York Times bestseller "Marley and me" (soon to be released as a movie). Unfortunately now it just seems too much like a doggie name :-(

I chose Sunisa, I think its pretty, feminine and mysterious.

[ILovedogs]

I have a girl friend here, named Nattaya, and she uses the nickname, Nickie for farangs, it seems very close to the same, so you could think about it. She isn't a bargirl or anything, just a friend who works with farangs a lot. Her nickname in Thai is Nit.

[Boo]

I'm gonna add an "other" to the mix. Tassanee, it is my mother in laws name & I love it. You could even shorten it to nee or tassy.

For some reason it makes me think of music.

Sassy Tassy!! Sorry I couldn’t help my self.

Kannika, sound Japanese

Kalaya, sounds Malaysian

Kanya, African

Nattaya, I like it got a South East Asian mix to it

Mali, Jamaican

Sunisa, alcohol beverage

Others, im sure you can come up with better ones then the above

[husskydog]

I picked Mali, nice.

I wouldn`t go for Nattaya, to much like Pattaya and presuming a farrang tot, maybe not a good choice.

All the best on the big day, make sure you are offered tea and toast after your delivery..it`s hard work .

[BIG SPUDS]

The mrs has chosen against mali. I think its between Nattaya and Kannika. I already have one son his name is Sampuri , Sam obviously for short.

[Briggsy]

Sunisa, alcohol beverage

What alcoholic beverage? Are you confusing this with Singha?

[lannarebirth]

The mrs has chosen against mali. I think its between Nattaya and Kannika. I already have one son his name is Sampuri , Sam obviously for short.

Who gave her a vote? OK, Nattaya sounds Romanian and Kannika's from the hood. I like Boo's MIL's name Tassanee next best.

[pumpuiman]

I like "Lamai"

[lannarebirth]

How about "Lanna". Just a thought.

[Jefferson]

I think all names in the poll are completely ancient. Come on, you're naming a daughter, not a granny.

I haven't even MET a 'Mali' in 10 years. The other ones are almost equally stale. You can do MUCH better!

As an aside, I know it's not common to name kids after their parents/grand parents, but it's still an option to grab at least part of the name of a parent or grandparent (on either side). Then just morph it into something Thai.

Note that there's Thai baby naming sites out there; come on!

I am sure you will have several names for your offspring as they go through the stages of life. It is good to have one to start and to fall back on during your/ their good times.

[donna]

Boo, id steer clear of Tassy. to us australians it has a funny connotation (show us your map of tassie)....sorry, i'll get my coat.
