December 19, 200520 yr Following on from What gender is this name Our first daughter is named Kitty, and my wife's family believe that all the kids names need to sound alike, or start with the same sound ie Don and Dum, or Nok and Nut etc. for good luck (they named on of theri 4 daughters with a different name and she died before she turned 1). So I thought Kitty and Candy would be nice. My wife insists that Candy is a man's name and she is not too keen on using the name Candy. So what names can you folks think of that would fit the criteria? I can't seem to get passed Candy.

December 19, 200520 yr Brit took the words right out of my mouth: Katie, Kate, Kaitlin, Kata, Kasey, Krista. edit: By the way, Candy sounds like a stripper's name. I was almost named Divina Joy by a temporarily insane mother. Edited December 19, 200520 yr by kat

December 19, 200520 yr Yeah, I meant to recommend that one (Katia). That's my email sign-in. Just name all your kids after me, Tuky
December 19, 200520 yr What about 'Susan'? It's a pretty cool girls name and think of the way it would sound in Thailand.
December 19, 200520 yr Uh, as we were saying ..... man, you know how to destroy a beat, Boon Mee Well, I was going to nominate 'Kat' 'till someone beat me to it! (ever hear a Thai pronounce 'Squirrel'?)

December 19, 200520 yr I have only known girls with the name 'Candy.' I love that name too. Maybe if you named her 'Kandy' rather than 'Candy' it would be more appealing to your wife. If you name her Kitty Kat Kandy and she used her initials to sign documents, she may have trouble signing in to hotels in certain black areas in the USA.
December 19, 200520 yr I think Chrissie is a nice name, but then I'm called Martin. im shocked you haven't suggested chelsea lamps!!
December 19, 200520 yr I think Chrissie is a nice name, but then I'm called Martin. im shocked you haven't suggested chelsea lamps!! No, better she be named after a proper team, but Liv doesn't sount close enough to Kitty, though Chelsea could be described as someting that does rhyme with Kitty cv
December 20, 200520 yr My daughter's nick-name is Candy. Her real name is Catillia which is a kind of orchid (though diff spelling). Sure, i had many a laugh with my Farang buddies before about the connotations with - stripper. However, since she is being brought up in Thailand and not the west, the Thais have no idea about any novelist coin-phrasing the name in this regard. 'Candy' is also similar in meaning to 'Khanom', a Thai name which translates to 'a sweet, cake etc....' Khanom mainly a girl's name, not a boy's. I also chose Candy cause the Thai names such as 'Cindy', Cherry etc... are already quite popular. I dont know of anyone else who has a daughter in Thailand called 'Candy'. I have had a lot of positive feedback to the name 'Candy' from Thais. My Farang buddies like the juicy connotations of the name but agree at the end of the day its a cute Thai-style Farang name. Best to stick to a maximum of two syllables when giving a nickname.
