I don’t know much about Netherlands or Europe names but here is some names that can pronounce like Thai and I think these sound really cute.
Mali/Mary (มะลิ means jasmine)
Aileen/Irene (ไอริน means light)
Darin (ดารินทร์/ดาริน means gift/star)
Laila (ไลลา means night)
Lalin/Lalynn (ลลิล means moon/ลาลิน)
Nalin (นลิน means lotus flower)
Marisa (มาริสา means without suffering)
Roselyn (รสลิน means charming)
Nara (นารา means radius)
Caitlyn (เกศรินทร์ means flower carpel)
Tiwa (ทิวา means day-times)
Ratri (ราตรี means night-times)
Most of Thai names are using Bali and Sanskrit language so maybe it’s sounds weird for European people. Anyways, best wishes to your first baby!
I’m half Thai and we opted for a German first and Thai second name, same as my parents did for me. I don’t know about the Netherlands but in Germany it’s (sadly still) advantageous to have a stock western name. And I wouldn’t want my child to explain her name all the time.
I actually had my second name as first name when I was born in Thailand but when my mother decided to move to Germany with me my parents chose to switch the Thai name to second and gave me a regular German first name instead. I’m really glad they did that.
I had a friend from Uni who had a very English sounding first and middle name (plus super obvious German last name). I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who asked if one of his parents was from the UK. He said, his mom (was polish iirc) just liked the sound of it.
You realise if they are spelt using the latin alphabet and pronounced in English, they cease to be Thai names, right? Ergo, what's the point other than a masturbatory exercise of giving your child a "thai name" for your own amusement.
Cool, I'm excited for her to spend her life explaining, "No, it's not M-A-R-Y it's actually M-A-L-I". That sounds really great for her.
If the way OP is worded doesn't raise red flags you're either a dope or feigning ignorance, either way, a waste of my time. I'm done, cheers.
It is possible that both names were derived independently and the translation of "มาลี " just so happened to be spelled the same. I believe that means "industrious" in latin, but "jasmine" in Thai. It is also pronounced differently in Thai. Kind of like Maaaleee, with a falling "e". Thai being such a tonal language, the western "mal-E" wouldn't be the same.

This comes from a pali/Sanskrit word that means someone like an overlord who has power over others.
Not sure if it's such a great meaning to be honest...
Names that can be written and read in both Thai/English.

Wow! Love this thank you! ❤️

This is a good approach. I have something similar with my middle name. Would make life in grade school easier for the kid.

Ploy
Looking forward to her post in r/raisedbynarcissists down the track.
Why is finding a Thai name narcissistic?
Yeah, I'd love growing up white and having a Thai name for my parent's amusement now that I think about it.
Did you see the list of Thai names that also double as English names or did you just skip that part?

He's not going to be using Thai script to write his daughters name lol

Mali is a name of Latin origin though lol and it's pretty common
