Male Nickname Oot

[simonfish]

Hi,

Anyone familiar with men's nickname 'Oot' and know how to spell it?

Thanks!

Aod.....common nick name in thailand. So is Golf....Ae.....& just about anything u can thing of. Most I know have nick names, wonder why?

[JetsetBkk]

อุต or อุด

(Just guessing)

Transliteration between Thai and English is often a problem, so I'm not sure how you are pronouncing 'oot'

I know a Thai guy whose nickname is 'ut'. Similar to 'put' but without the 'p'. It has a long vowel and is low tone, and means 'camel'.

The Thai spelling is อูฐ

Oot, sounds more like อูด or อู๊ด

Going back a few generations in my family tree there is an Oot. That was his name listed on his ID card and in the barn card. I remember him saying it meant Camel.

Ah, the proverbial problems of trying to Englishfy Thai script, and Thai vowels.

I think the name the OP means is, awt, a common Thai nickname.

If indeed it is oot as mentioned by the Op, it would be camel or,

อูฐ

Sorry, just read post #4, he got it before me, but I have never heard this as a nickname, the usual one is awt.

Seems the Op wasnt so far out, he had the Thai Englishfied,

ออด with a mai tree.

I would say Oot is a correct transliteration and it means Camel and is a not so uncommon thai nick name

Thanks for the comments, I guess it could also be written as oodt, but it hard for me to tell.

While I have your attention! Could the below phrase be considered a veiled threat?

เข้าเถื่อนอย่าลืมพร้า

Thanks

Have a number of Thai friends and 3 people in this little Village called 'Aod' when saying it is 'oot'

also many 'Ae' also people say this for someone called Chai ??

​Translation on names does not work......... common name is 'Kai' translate is Chicken in English....... Thai full name is Krangkai
