I met a Thai girl who was named after an alcohol.Her brother was also named after an alcohol brand.Are Thai people alcoholics or something?
>>222077828Chang is common chinese name.
>>222077828It’s normal.In addition to first and last names. Thai people have nicknames they use for normal, everyday life. These nicknames are probably what those two people had.
>>222077828hi nikka, or yoichi? :)
>>222077828I've never met anyone with an alcoholic name.>>222077844Chang means elephant in Thai, no one would name their kids that.
>>222077895this when I used to talk to people on interpals about a decade ago some of the thais had random words from the english dictionary as nicknames
>>222077963ไม่เป็นไร
>>222077828Yeah, older gens like to give retarded nicknames to their children.
>>222077895>>222077982>someAll of us do anon. Not to mention before English it was just random words from our own language. Daeng for example just means red.>>222078125As opposed to now...?
>>222078125Doesn’t Thailand have a bunch of laws controlling what names Thai people can have?
>>222077963Hello Singha
>>222078247That only applies to names and surnames, nicknames aren't enforced.
>>222077963> no one would name their kids that.O RLY?
>>222078232>All of us do anonI meant for bizarre random words and not typical names like knowing a Phuttiphong that went by Peter.
>>222078447alright I realized that sounded pretty dumb because you meant literal translations but no way some of those names existed in Thai.
>>222078474Logically it's not really a big leap to go from what we had before to naming people Bomb, Black, Gun, Boss, etc.
>>222077828JBW strikes again...
>>222078703I didn't get her number or anything.
