Hey all, while I understand Kunthea might resemble an unpleasant English word at first glance, let's remember what the name really is, not what we choose to connect it to. Kunthea is a Khmer name that means "fragrance," representing beauty and grace -- quite a pretty name in my opinion. Making jokes about it solely because of its phonetic resemblance is disrespectful and misses the point, don't you think? We're all here to share and learn from different experiences. Of course, not everyone will see eye to eye, but let's keep the conversation open-minded and collectively celebrate the beautiful variety of names here, shall we?
Maybe like someone else suggested, change to spelling around.
A good solution to the problem of the first four letters is to spell it as Kanthea. It's still similar, it sounds no less beautiful (in fact, I think it sounds more beautiful) and it doesn't look like it contains bad words.
I was just reading the newspaper and there is a girl (about 13 or 14) named Kunthea. The Thea part is nice but all I see is the first 4 letters (replace the k with a c). I feel sorry for anyone with this name. At least she could go by Thea I suppose.
This is not a good name for an obvious reason.
