Question

I am half Thai and my b/f is Jewish we thought it would be interesting to have our son have a Thai name as well as a Hebrew name, any suggestions?

Answer 1

BOYS:
**Aran** (spelling is Thai meaning 'wood' and is very close to Aaron(hebrew) so everybody could win with this one!
***Joshua Niran*** (God rescues) (Forever) i love this one because the meanings tie in so well together.
GIRLS:
**Isra Danielle** (Free) (God is the Judge)
**Phailin Jaimie**(Sapphire)(Loved son)
***Isra Zipporah*** (Free)(Bird)
i hope this helps and congradulations!!

Answer 2

I'll second what french fry said above me. If you are in an Anglophonic area, either pick a REALLY SIMPLE Thai name for a first name, or tuck it in as a middle name.

I'm Thai -- complicated name and all -- and I grew up in redneck America where people kept bugging me about my name. My name is a big, fat hassle. It barely fits on my credit cards and business cards. I hate to hear it butchered and mangled, but it happens every single day of my life. Like many Thai-Americans, I have an Anglo nickname that I use for convenience.

Since Thais are a fairly small group here (even in LA, with the largest population of Thais outside of Thailand), I always figured I'd marry someone of a different nationality (which so far seems likely as I have never dated a Thai guy). So my plan is to pick a Thai name that either transliterates or translates easily with a "farang" or Biblical name.

For example, "Chloe" is a popular feminine name (of French origin), and in Thai it means "flute." I'd advise against naming a boy "Jake" in English, though, since in Thai it sounds like derogatory slang for a Chinese person.

Hebrew names are pretty common such as Aaron, Andrew, David, Matthew, Michael.. so thats easy just pick a common name you like and check the origin to see if its hebrew.. chances are it is.

Answer 5

Unless you live in Thailand, I would use it as a first name. If you live in an English speaking country, use the Thai name as the middle name. Kids are cruel and they can joke about unusual names. I was teased for 12 years in school because my first named rhymed with my last name. I had to change my name after that. I regret my parents didn't think just because they just "liked" the name.
Ask yourself these questions: "would my child like this name?" "would he succeed in life with this name?" "if people can't pronounce my child's name, would I want him to go through it all his life?"

We can't choose the name for you, you will have to go through a list of hebrew and thai names and once you make your decision, come back to us, so we can vote for a name:
