If Not Candy

[tuky]

Well, after all my thinking, studying etc etc Khun Wife has made a decision.

She wants to call her Pinky.

HELP!!!

[Jai Dee]

I had a wittle wabbit when I was a kid called Pinky...

[sbk]

Umm... were you planning on ever taking her home again?

[English Noodles]

Just call her 'London'. (pretty shitty city)

Keisha (like the bird in the Sugababes !)

I like Kat you know a play on Kit Kat

[Kan Win]

What about Nikki

Kitti & Nikki sound good to me.

Good Luck Tuky & Miss-use Tuky with the New One.

God Bless

Yours truly,

Kan Win

Pinky, your joking right? It doesnt even rhyme with kitty, you need to ge her told mate, "sorry love you are not going to name our daughter after a childrens tv character". Just show your missus this pic and then tell her to get serious

[tuky]

I told her, what rhymes with Pinky?

Stinky Pinky, Kinky Pinky, Inky Kinky Stink Pinky...

[Gazza]

Definitely not "Candy"!  Please!

What about these....any one of these will go very well with Kitty....

...Keri...Kari......Kali...Cali

no please ... all these names can be slang in thai =garee =ho

im serious

I know you're serious. My real name mispronounced causes many sniggers from Thais.

I have to make sure I give it a rising tone. gaREEE....otherwise I'm telling everyone I'm a streetwalker.

I like the name of Katya from the novel 'The Summer of Katya' by Trevanian. I didn't name my daughter this though cos it didn't have much fluency off the tongue combined with her surname.

Plus some stupid people would probably initially read the name as kat-ya. Not that I did of course, cos I didn't, and even if I did (which I didn't) then it would've been a simple mistake to make had I done so, which I didn't and.........

Names are tough. I read a story once about a couple who searched for a beautiful but unusual name for their daughter, one that couldn't be made fun of. They settled on Amber. Brought her home to meet their 5 year old son who promptly said, "Hello Amberger".

So, good luck to you!

The famed Gary name :-)

Actually, the key to it is in the vowel sound:

guree (rhymes with curry) = prostitute

gary (rhymes with larry, marry, carry) = you

The rising tone doesn't really help as you name should not have a rising tone to it IMHO since it is from english.

You can tell the joke though:

Cheu passar ungrit Gary.

Cheu passar Thai Guree.

I tell this joke every time I introduce the one Gary I know, and it works a treat every time.

Just be glad you name is not:

Jean Claude Van Damm

(the vagina with the black sunglasses)

For the original poster.....

Katleeya easy for Thai people to say, abbreviate to Kat

or just nickname:

- Maew (cat)

- Miki/Mickey (rhymes)

- Goi (ok, this is funny to me because of the Pinky idea)

I would agree names are tough, but seemingly not for the missus, as soon as we found out we were expecting a boy, she decided on Joe, why i dont know, but she wont listen to any other suggestions, it HAS to be Joe. I dont actually mind because i like the name Joe, so its worked out ok, only trouble is i know the midwifes sometimes get the sex of the baby wrong, so if they are wrong and its a girl then i thought we would call her Jo without an E but no if its a girl we have to think of another name i tell you i give up trying to work out a womans mind, let alone one whos pregenant

One girls name i really like Tuky, and thats Poppy, and that would sound ok with Kitty.

I know mate, I was in a meeting earlier today and I remembered what KW had said about the name. I burst out laughing in the meeting, got some strange looks then some even harder laughs after I explained what I was laughing at.

The worst part is KW was serious.

[leisurely]

Candy = stripper in my mind. Someone who has tassels.

What about something like Jane/Joan/Jean/June?

Pinky aren't they baby piglets as well as Perkys significant other.

I would agree that naming children is a real problem. I named both girls and Mr L didn't have a say in the matter. I was of the opinion that having had 40 weeks of misery through both pregnancies I deserved first crack at the names. He didn't like either but has come round to them now.

I would stress though NOT CANDY or PINKY

Enjoy

having had 40 weeks of misery through both pregnancies

So it isnt just my wife then that has been through misery? and she has still got 6 weeks to go. After reading loads of books, they tell you everything about the joy of pregenancy and nothing of the misery. I tell you i wouldnt swap for a million quid with my wife, full respect to all you ladies out there
