HelpRe: Why are many Thai names rated so badly?
in reply to a message by Matthew 05
Well, yes. I understand that naming bias exists. I suppose if someone randomly saw one of those names for the first time, they would be taken aback. But it seems like that prejudice exists even after people learn the origin and the meaning. I just don't see names like that.

Even after you learn what Porntip means in Thai, you can't unlearn what it means in English, and it's not some obscure or archaic English that few but scholarly people would know.
