......Thoughts?

um?

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

is that like... the actually spelling? Because right now I'm just saying to myself "It's an ethnic name from some far off land that just sounds that way but really means flowers and sunshine and happiness"

[silver05.livejournal.com]

Real spelling. I swear.

Maybe it's Indian?

My boss was right next door, it was so hard not to laugh out loud.

She's female, and her husband has a normal-American name. My bosses meet their clients out of the office so I'll never meet this woman, but if I were her, I'd totally get the best nickname I can find.

Pornpit.

Okay, it's pretty awful. However, I googled it, and it seems to be a Thai girl's name. I can't seem to find a meaning on any site in English, so that's the best I can do.

And by "normal-American" I mean Anglo-Saxon. Sorry.

[silver05.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks!

yeah, my first thought was foreigner. I once heard tell of a girl named Phuc (pronounced exactly how you think it is) whose parents couldn't understand why the school wanted to call her by her middle name. ;/

...uhm? Is there any possible way she could've changed her name after she turned legal?

Because seriously? I can't imagine anyone naming their child that.

i'm inclined to think she is Thai. there was a Thai girl at my school who had the word "porn" right in the middle of her name.

I once knew a guy named Hymen....His brothers name was Arpid too similar to armpit. they were foreign

Maybe pornpit was their cousin.

that's just wrong.

I was gonna say Thai. There's a baaaaabyanimals post in the past few days about Porn being a common name or name element in Thailand (stemming from a baby hippo picture in which the mother hippo is named Porn).

It's a Thai name, and I'm sure it means something lovely in a language none of us are smart enough to know how to speak.
