Thai Baby Names

[richard10365]

My wife is pregnant and I would like a thai name for my baby. I think a Thai name would be better living in LOS.

What are you favorite Thai names for boys and girls.

You can write in Thai or English, I can read both.

Thanks for your help.

Somkid is nice.

[Bull]

Wilert is one of my favourites, you can have Wil as a nickname, which works both in Thai and English...

Some people consider it old fashioned though...

Bull

[The_Eye_Of_Sauron]

"Noi" ....that'll never go out of fashion

[BambinA]

how is Sauron - sort of สาวร้อน - hot gal

'Suey rorn'.

I am a hot chick. Good spot Bambina.

[wolf5370]

Nickname to avoid like the plague IMO:

'Cos there's too many of them:

- Noi

- Dang

- SomChai (just about every murderer, drugdealer and gangster is called Somchai)

- Tip (Also English jokes about rubbish tips in school if in West)

Don't work in English:

- Moo (means Pig which uis hard to explain and sound like a cow in English)

- Mee (Spunds troo much like 'Me' - confusing in English)

- Ngoo (or Anything beginning Ng...)

- Yoo/Yu (sounds like 'You' - confusing)

[wolf5370]

I quite like Peechit too. It means 'Great King/Leader' or something like that, which could be translated to 'Richard' in English (same meaning).

A name fo a girl: Jintana (จินตนา) meaning Imagination

Good luck

Why not wait till you know what sex it is going to be. That will narrow the choices down alot, and save you time messing around with half of the names that aren't going to get a show anyway.

Are there any Thai names that are bi-sexual? I mean, can be used by a boy or girl, such as Chris, Viv, Kim etc.

How about Emily เอมมิลี Does that look right? Nickname can be M !
