So the time has come to choose a name for your baby girl, and you can't make up your mind.

There are so many incredibly beautiful girl names in every culture. Thailand has some of the most exquisite girl names in the world.

A Thai baby typically has a first name, a nickname, and a surname. Most Thai people have a nickname given to them at birth by their parents, and it is common for people to go by their nickname instead of their first names.

So it's not uncommon for friends not even to know a person's first name at all and only know their nickname. Traditionally this practice was thought to protect the newborn baby from evil spirits, as using a nickname instead of the child's real name was thought to confuse the spirits. In Thai, the phrase 'what's your name?'

is translated as 'khun chûue à-rai? '.

Thai girl names are often very feminine, with names such as 'angel' 'starlight' and 'sweetheart' being as popular as ever. Common Thai names for baby girls also include baby names inspired by nature.

Names that translate to 'bountiful forest' and 'green sweet' suggest abundance and fertility, and names like 'full moon' and 'evening star' evoke the poetic beauty of nature and the cosmos.

With magical Thai baby names inspired by flowers, gems, and spirituality, there are lots of really pretty Thai names which you might like to use to name your own baby girl.
