I think some people go out of their way to rate/comment on foreign names that seem silly or strange in an English-speaking context. It's true that some of these names wouldn't be great choices for a baby name if you live in a primarily English-speaking country, but some people are downright racist about it, and forget that people (including kids!) with these names might be looking up their own names, or those of their loved ones. There are plenty of English names that sound silly or like rude words in other languages, but because this is an English website, we don't get much of that perspective.

There isn't a large Thai population where I live, so I don't encounter a ton of Thai names in my day-to-day life, but I agree that some of these seem really nice! Sasithorn and Thaksin catch my eye in particular.
