Thoughts on the nickname culture in Thailand?

Yes it's interesting. I have been called "Apinya" by a couple of female friends. Still no idea what it means but it sounds cool 🤣🤣🤣

My wife was the only one I ever met that went by her real name, Yuwaree, but we all call her Yu

My Thai wife has multiple nicknames depending on the particular social circle.... family, work, school, friends, , etc. Also, we've been married more than 30 years and I'd say I don't know the real first names of most of our Thai friends.

That's like in the states. In the community we give nicknames. Popcorn, CornPop, mine was Crash because I was in a wreck 1 time. Lol. Red for the red hair and so other inventful nicknames. Always means you are in the game. It's an honor to get a streetname.

The thai nickname i got from a friend is more complicated than my real one 555

I like Thayada, it's a cute name

Ah thanks. I thought this was just for making it easier for non thai speaking people to call their name.
