Petch als naam van wat?
In de trant van "Hey Petch, how are you?"
of in een combinatie als Petchaburi?
In het laatste geval zou het doctor Chaburi kunnen zijn
(Phaet Chaburi).

your correct it is diamond according to my wife. the english spelling had a
ch at the end of the word i didnt think that was right. thai spelling is
sala a -paw phan -mai ta koo gaw and daw dek. its to hard to pronounce
thai when writing english. the more i learn the eaiser it becomes to hear
the right sounds.

The word is spelled เพชร in Thai (Sara Aa, PhOO Phan, ChOO Chang, ROO
Rua), meaning "diamond." The (combined) final consonants (ชร) are
pronounced as as a DOO Dek (ด) sound. It is more common as a male name,
although not so uncommon as a female name. And I agree, it is a very
nice name. More faithful English spelling to original Thai spelling
is "Petchra" or "Petchr", but you may find it a little cumbersome.
(I'm not so sure if my Thai fonts will display properly.)

Your Thai fonts displayed OK. Your spelling is as given by So
Sethaputra, as is the pronounciation "เพ็ด"
The "ขร" combination is new to me - must try to remember it
along with the others!

What about the former Thai movie star "Petchara"? Does her name mean
"Diamond"?
Kinnear

Dear Khun Jim,
That spelling, according to you, means "telling or saying to the
higher rank or loyalty people." "Petch" that means diamond is
spelled with .. sa'ra'ee- phOO-phaan- chOO-chaang^ rOO-rUaa-
(sara a .. por parn .. chor charng .. ror ruea). Usually, it's
written in English as "petch", but you might see "petchr" or
even "petchra" while the pronunciation is just ... pet!
Cheers,
Vj :).

I was just 5 min ago telling my wife she cant spell!! Just kidding i told her
what bleulotus said about my spelling. she said yes that is correct but she didnt
think of that before. i think she is a little out of practice cos she doesnt read
a lot of thai over the last 30 yrs. I know i cant spell thats why i ask her i am
just a rookie, i can spell simple commonnly used words from memory but only a
few. thanks for the help, i welcome any help involved with learning the language.

I believe เพชร means the same thing as เพชรา and the same thing as พัชร.
Thai words, especially Thai names can have various different spellings.

watch out : probably just a typo and you meant "ชร" here ?

Pepsi. Coke. Sprite. Pick any but MountainDew. It's reserved. :)
I just had a chat with my advisor two days ago about Thai nicknames. He
asked why my gf named Apple. I said it's not uncommon for
us to have easy-to-remember English nicknames. Ex. fruits like peach, pair,
cherry. I think it helps when you have international friends.
Very few people here know my formal Thai name. I have a friend with surname
"Phuvanartnuruks," totally hopless even for me. I threw checks after checks
into the basket trying to write her one. Her Chinese friend refered to her
as "the girl with a very long surname."
If I have 3 children, I might name them "Bud," "wei," and "Ser." When I have
nothing to do I would tell them to line up and say their names one at a
time. Sounds like a good idea ? :)
Cheers,
Dew.

Yes, I meant "ชร"; it was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

Seri, Udorn, Pramot, etc. Now it seems like people like their names longer to
be unique. Parents these days want elegant and difficult name for their
children. If you can think of a name that nobody has used it before, it's just
great. In order to have a name no one has used before you'd try to think of
adding some words together to make it sounds pretty and meaningful.
These also used to be short and simple nicknames like, Tiw, Toy, Noy, Nid, Tum,
Tam, Aew, Orn, Orm, etc. The same reasons apply here too.

I met someone who had the nickname 'Thames'-the river in England.
