bermondburi Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 It also works the other way. When I lived in Peckham there was a Thai guy called Manop who used to drink in the local pub. He worked in an ice-cream factory in Lewisham. Everyone in the pub called him Nobby. Following the argument that he wasn't English does that mean he couln't have an English nickname. If so why not?

tinfoilhat Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) It's just having a nickname just the same as all Thais have a nickname. What's the problem with that?

Plenty of people have nicknames in their countries of origin, what's wrong with that ? i don't recall being asked my nickname, the thread title specifically asks if anyone has a thai name Edited November 10, 2012 by Rooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have made that clear. I meant nickname. Perhaps I should start another thread.

jaiyenyen Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Family and friends call me by my birth name; Gary. My wife calls me Moo Khao (White pig). At first I was really upset by this, but she explained that pigs are lovely, and that was her name for me and no-one else would call me that (To my face). I told her she could call me whatever she wants, just don't call me late for dinner. When we are around the house, or in the garden and she can't see me, she calls " Moo Khao, Moo Khao, Where is my Moo?" Remember the film Babe, about the farmer with the pig? It's her favourite film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pundit Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Sad, sad, sad. <deleted> would you have a Thai name? I know a few who have done this, they are a xxxxx laughing stock.

Depends on how the 'I' is pronounced. If it's like 'I' as in 'Igloo', it's not rude. If it's 'I' as in 'I am', then I believe it is very rude, yes.

Everyone else who knows me calls me by my given name, David (actually mostly Dave). Probably a few have nicknames given to them b their wifes / partners - but that's about it. I can't imagine addressing you as Moo. There is a bloke that lives nearby who insists that people call him by his Thai nickname, Tuk Tuk - it made plenty of people laugh (at him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
