    Not the longest, but I once worked with a Thai lady named Soda Pop. She swore it was her real name, it was on all her work documents and everything.

      I once knew a Thai woman named Siri Alexa. Seriously, she is about 65 and is quite tired of the jokes.

      Thai people tend to have names that mean things like that.

      Common ones I’ve seen:

      Pang = bread Namsom = orange juice Namphueng = honey (bee water) Namfon = rain water Somporn = auspicious orange Somwan = sweet orange
