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.

So far, Marisa is her favorite. But thanks for the others.

More suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Girl's names:

Tara (ธารา)

Natalie (นัทลี)

Suriya (สุริยา)

and of course,

Dara (ดารา) ;-D

Boy's name:

Naven (เนวิน)

Dan (แดน) or Dhani(ธานี) with nickname Danny

My daughters have two names - Thai and English:

Amy (Thai Name: Wanvessa)

Jasmine (Thai Name: Wareewan) - Jasmine is Mali ('I' is very short) in Thai

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

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)

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

Wow! Great replies everyone. I am making a list. Since I am from the USA, many of the names I have not heard of before. It will take a while to pick one.....good thing i have about 7 months left to decide. Keep em comming!

My niece's name is Boowa, which means lotus flower - I love that name! For a boy I like the name Songkram - not sure what it means. Congratulations & 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 !
