elgordo38 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Does your Thai wife or g/f want to change her name to a more lucky one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My wife changed her surname to mine. She is the luckiest girl in the world now. Although it sounds a little silly.......A Thai with a Greek surname...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim armstrong Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Mine was quick to adopt my surname when we got married, because she thought mine was more lucky. Her son - now 18yrs has recently changed his first name - I still call him by the old one as his luck doesn't seem to have changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy chef 1 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My wife changed her surname to mine. She is the luckiest girl in the world now. Although it sounds a little silly.......A Thai with a Greek surname...... same as mine- but even worst with a German surname she can't even pronounce properly... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconJohn Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The only cases of name changes for good luck that I have ever heard of were first names. Maybe the beliefs and practices vary in different parts of the country. It's quite common in the North where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 yes she changed her name to a very lucky one , mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ms. Bino hasn't done it, but many of the women in her family, and many other women I know have done this. It is common practice among Thai women- based on the advice of a fortune teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I always embrace them to change it. Then i wait quite a bit and get back to them to check if they got luckier. The answer is always no but these people seem to never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlander76 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My wife before we got married visited a monk in Chiang Mai who was well known for fortune telling and he told to change her first name as she was starting a life me in Scotland.

katana Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Ms. Bino hasn't done it, but many of the women in her family, and many other women I know have done this. It is common practice among Thai women- based on the advice of a fortune teller. I knew a Thai girl who did that once on the advice of a fortune teller too. Not sure if the fortune tellers really beleive it, or just enjoy seeing if people actually go along with it.

sipi Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My wife kept her maiden name. It is far more lucky than mine. Actually, I am thinking about changing my surname to hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
