Michael W Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Let's see. Off the top of my head I can think of: Mallee Ahn Joy Pat There must be at least a few others. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryHerb Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Why you asking? And are you talking about real names or nicknames? Supaporn is a girl's name that sounds like something 'farang', but I wouldn't wish it on my child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Let's see. Off the top of my head I can think of:Mallee Ahn Joy Pat There must be at least a few others. Anyone? Mallee is a brand of thai fruit juice...the type that's got the 'pulp' in it... there was an old R&B song from the 50s that went 'Now when she walk... Mallee she got the pulp...'

Jockstar Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I used to teach a kid called Tittiporn. So what you getting at OP? Don't you know that Thais have nicknames? Male or female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I used to teach a kid called Tittiporn. So what you getting at OP? Don't you know that Thais have nicknames? Male or female? Nick names would be the appropriate - their real names are well rather Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Mallee is a brand of thai fruit juice...the type that's got the 'pulp' in it... Malinee is also another variation and can be an actually first name, (derived from a popular Indian actress in Bollywood), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Why you asking?Why not, some law against it?And are you talking about real names or nicknames?More likely nicknames, as I thought was apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Nick names would be the appropriate - their real names are well rather Thai. Yes, those were the examples I gave, mostly. Sorry for not explicitly spelling it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Mali means jasmine. Also Marisa and Kanika are nice names that translate well into farangistan When I was in high school I had a friend from Thailand and when, at the beginning of the school year, the teacher reached her name on the list we always knew "La...... La....." and she would raise her hand and say "just call me Laura" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qualtrough Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 There are two girl's names that can sound like Molly: Mali and Malee. As pointed out earlier the first means Jasmine. This was has the short sara (vowel) 'e' so isn't so close to Molly, but the second one is spelled with the long 'e' so sounds very similar to Molly. Malee is my wife's name. I think it is another kind of flower. I used to know, but have forgotten. Good thing she doesn't visit the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) If you are planning to live in the west, you want to steer clear of anything with Tit, Porn, Pee, Poo and Bum in it. Other kids can be very cruel. Edited June 3, 2006 by astral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualtrough Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I was once married to a girl name Pornthip (blessing from heaven--literal translation). When we moved to the US she was pretty upset to learn what Porn meant. I specifically remember a downtown neigborhood where we lived that had some signs posted saying 'Porn not Welcome', etc. Poor thing. After we separated she legally changed her name to Antoinette! I would add the name Sukanya to the list of names that don't translate well. When pronounced correctly as a Thai would no problem. As pronounced by farangs it can sound like a rude request.
