In the past old day or even now, people will look into some sorts of liturature and find some words that give good meaning. Since thai language has been influenced by Bhali and Sansakrit, many Thai words may have to be translated for easy understanding.
Many Thais may consult the astronomers or revered monks and ask them to name their children according to their birth stars.
You can try consulting Thai who has some background or being influence in Thai languge and give him your information that may help him to give you a name to match your characters, birth stars etc.
Better try to understand the name prior to use it. Looking into the phone book is an option but if you don't know the meaning, it's useless to have thai name.

I'm Thai and unaware of any rules except that it can't be the same with the ones that already exists. I just type my name in the internet just for fun and my first name has become a last name of the whole village in Isan!! My first name is quite unique. When I was young, I couldn't find anyone sharing my first name. Now, there's about ten people in the whole phone book with my first name, except one village with the last name as my first name. I guess I shuould marry someone from that village and change my last name so I would have double names as first and last. Oh, others are right that the last name shouldn't use names from the royal family. The last name that said Na something, like Na Ayudhya is reserved for this dynasty. Otherwise, it comes from the history; like Na Ranong. They are not related to any royal family but they were governor of that province. It has something to do with lordship, like in the old days, someone can be appointed to collect tax from a province for the King, and he will be given last name as the province. There's a joke, but it's true that a person went to King Rama IV asking him for a last name and he name the person: "Cha Ti Ha Ma", which when read together it's Chatma, or the family of dogs. I've never come across any person with that last name at all, but they said they exist, but now the decendants would have use other last name anyway.

A look in the phone directory will show you thousands! Not sure what the aim of your question is though.
