Would calling your child Porn bother you?

[krisb]

Would it?

[Broken Record]

I don't think I'd name my Child pornography.

Porn is Ok.

Yes, because my Child travels internationally.... Its not a big deal, but its certainly not a name I would choose.

When choosing our Childs name my Wife and I had to think carefully about a name which could be comfortably and accurately pronounced by various family members (English and Thai) without any 'double' meanings...

[JakeSully]

It's actually pronounced Phom. But yes the english spelling by Thai's is crazy.

For example an acquaintance of mine had her Thai ID with the last name of Unaphom. When she went to get her passport made, they changed it to Onaporn. I told her to go back and have it changed but the passport office said their decision is final and cannot be appealed.

So it's more like the leader of the country buthering their names rather than the people.

Actually...The name Porn as you pronounce it...is fairly common around here.

But it's pronounced "PAWN"....when out of Thailand one I know uses the name "Dawn"....job done.

so there you go.....

Yes, my wife and I did the same and that's how we settled on Langoustine.

If you were Thai and moved to the west, how would you feel about a son named " Jim"?

[NickJ]

Maybe if he was a teenager living in the west and never came out of his room.

Here not so much.

Is Porn a boys name also?

Yes it can be either gender......

[streboris]

Think having a falang dad would mean she is very likely to have dealings with the west later in life. And knowing western thinking, it wouldn't help her being called Porn...

my lawyer was called Siriporn, pronounced Silly Porn... which I must admit made me chuckle at first meeting

You looked like your avatar?

[Thongkorn]

Problem the Same as in England calling your Daughter Mary kitchen , or Gladis lavatre.

[fang37]

Various Thai names can have a very different connotation in a western country.

Pui - my own mother will NOT pronounce it. Why?

[kkup]

Only acceptable if her middle name is "star".

[sammygood]

who doesn't love porn

but with a name like that, better not move back to your home country

porn is normal here, but in some other countries

lol

oh no, internet porn is illegal here

[KarenBravo]

I think the name Terdsak is even worse........

[technologybytes]

If I had a Thai wife who wanted to choose any name that was not mutually agreed I'd be very concerned.

[eeeya]

I've heard a girls name tittiporn.

[Thai Travel Bug]

I called mine POO , in fact, still do.

[Thakkar]

"Would calling your child Porn bother you?"

It certainly would, because I had my heart set on "Dickwrangler"

Yes. My brother in law is called Porn (short for Pornchai)

[chicowoodduck]

Only if her last name was Star....?

[chasntong]

Who cares

[jonnit]

I think Miss Universe 1988 Porntip Nakhirunkanok pronounced her name as it appears. That's the way it was presented at the time.

[stoli]

I would not do it in the states, but in Thailand, the name Porn means "to be blessed by Buddha". Very nice name here.

I have a step son named Porn and his nickname is Suer, pronounced just like where you toilet waste goes. The kid has no chance in the west.

[gandalf12]

It is a common name in Thailand. If they go overseas they can always use their nickname if they wish to.

[timsims]

my wife name is somporn was easy to remember when I meet her (I looked at some porn to today
