There are quite a few threads on this I believe so have a search

I personaly like the name of a friend of mine she is called Anchisa but she is half Chinese and Thai so maybe it is a Chinese name? I'll ask her.

get a baby book of names - we gave our doughter a farang first name and a Thai middle one, then she can choose herself which one to use.

Congratulations BS.

Congrates mate

I also had the job of naming my kids ? is this a Thai thing that the father has to name there kids

I tried to chose a name that was Thai but would also blend in with Australian names so they wouldn,t get to much stick if we return to Australia for schooling

Baby Names

[daleyboy]

The wife wanted to call our soon to be youngster after her 2 favourite foods. For a boy she wanted to call him chilli and for a girl it was going to be ginger.

But after much discussion i finally persauded the wife that those 2 names would mean a life of piss taking from everyone including myself. So we finally decided because we are having a boy to call him Joe.

It's very difficult to cloose names, however, if done thoughtfully it will be okay. Try think about the sounds, the initials, the meaning etc. And have a few choices so that when the child is born this will be the final indication. A sister of mine and her husband had a few boys names and a few girls names on a 'shortlist' but when the baby girl was born they both instantly agreed because it suited her personality.

what about Erika or Erica...

Not Areeya/Ariya please. Reminds me or Areeya Chumsai/Sirisopa or whatever she calls herself. She gives me dry retches.

I did this, british first name and foreign middle name.

[terdsak_12]

Terdsak is a tried and tested favourite for boys.

[Simbo]

Terdsak is a tried and tested favourite for boys.

Not in the uK it aint. Nick name "shitbag' would surely apply.

Is that the translation? i need to brush up on my thai i thinK!

[bkkmei]

I like Anchalee for a girl - it's Thai (right?) but it's very easy for English people to pick up, sort of sound like Angie, but nicer...

[The Dan Sai Kid]

I've always like Grant

But, it's so hard for most Thais to pronounce, I usually settle for Glass, or Red.

[chanchao]

I too chose something that sounds perfect both in Thai as well as English or any other Western language. Remember that all of the baby's grandparents have to be able to pronounce it.

We never really got around to a cool nickname though, we just shorten it in various ways.

I did have a huge list of possible nicknames though with some really good ones in it. Let me know if interested.
