Hi,

Can anyone help with this? I am looking for a Thai boys name which could be shortened to Den (เดน) as a nickname.

Most of the Thais I have asked say there isn't any, but as with most things it pays to ask around.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

เดน has negative meaning. It shouldn't be a name.

How about เด่น - เด่นชัย? Nickname (เด่น) spell same as เดน in English and has positive meaning.

I know you want a longer Thai name than can be shortened to 'เด่น' but, in my limited experience, Thai given names seem to have absolutely no connection to their nicknames, so you could have whatever name you like and still call him 'เด่น', doesn't have to be a shortened version of his given name. Does it?
