favorite name ??

well all know that the death of a buffalo is one of the most regular and traumatic thing that can ever happen to a thai boy .... but as most of the posters on here have probably paid towards the well being or replacement of a buffalo .. the question is thus ... what is the most popular name of a thai buffalo?
im sure we all name our pets.. so why wouldnt they ?

"what is the most popular name of a thai buffalo?"

Well that's obvious, the answer MUST be "sick" as every guy I met tells me "my family's buffalo he sick" so I just always "assumed" that was the buffalos name and as every guy says it I guess that must be the most popular name too then !!! - although mind you for some strange reason a lot of them also seem to have a Brother, Mother and Father who's name also seems to be "sick" as well !! lol

Yes, but a buffalo is not a pet, it's a farm animal. If there is only one buffalo, there is no need to name it (same for chicken, because there are so many). Maybe the idea of naming a buffalo is so strange to Thais as the idea of naming one's car is to me. I once read about names for pet animals in Thailand: the name of the dog is "dog". But I remember, a friend of mine has a sugar glider named Micky.

Well, actually it's a stupid and thoughtless cliche which is rarely ever thought about except by newbies who cling onto this foolishness like a Linus security blanket.
And then to add to it by posting a contest: "Name That Buffalo".
Lordie, we've come a long way.

"Very"? Siblings include "Terminally", "Extremely" and others ad infinitum.

If I can broaden the topic...I teach in china and students pick English names...or they are given English names. I once had a student named Wanker.

I suspect it was a bad joke played on him by an English teacher and he never quite got the joke and no one had the heart to tell him. I had to write a letter of recommendation for him when he applied to University in the UK. You can imagine my difficulty in getting started...

To whom it may concern: I have known Mr. Wanker Lui.....I chose to use his Chinese name instead. I thought that the better choice.

Funny the Thais don't seem to provide the same amusement factor with their English names.

"Funny the Thais don't seem to provide the same amusement factor with their English names".

Oh I don't quite know about that as in my time I've known a few Anusuns (sun for short), an Art and a few guys called beer and I used to take great pleasure and have a small laugh inside my head when straight/ homophobic people here in the UK used to look at me in disgust and say " I bet I know why you go to Thailand so often" with a sneer on their faces and I was able to turn round to them with a totally straight face and say "excuse me I'll have you know I only go there to get some sun, take in the culture and art and have a few beers !!" and they could never accuse me of lying !! lol

Was his second nickname 'Brithai' by any chance.

(Just kiddin' Britsi ... in the name of lightheartedness of course).
See, obviously I still have a sense of humour. Look, I use these:

Hmmmm ... your style (using 'style' very broadly indeed) reads with some familiarity.

True story - I once sat at a beer bar having some drinks with Mr Bum and Mr Pong.

I still remember my incredulity when I met my first "Porn" (in Germany, we abbreviate pornography as porn), so I asked him to repeat (written and verbally), as I couldn't hear an R, I saved him in my mobil phone as "Pon". Now I know better that Somporn р╕кр╕бр╕Юр╕е is a common Thai name, abbreviated as Porn (transliterated to English, in German I would write it as "Ponn" or "Pohn").

" ... im a bit dim so kinda sorted it ... "
Actually, 'Dim' could be an excellent suggestion for a nickname. Nice that you started with yourself. Shows class.
