How do Thai people get thier nicknames?
The above answer is very accurate - when parents give them a nick name it is usually something to do with them when they are babies. I know someone named Rainy because it was raining on her birth, or Arun (means moon) because she was born at night, or Nok, because she looked like a baby bird, etc. I would also add that some nicknames are created by themself when they are young adults if they do not like their nickname from their youth or want a new image. I knew a guy who liked photography so he started calling himself Niko (short form of his Nikon camera). Many Thais only know people by their nicknames - so looking someone up in a name directory (at a company) is difficult, same as spell-by-name on the telephone (no one knows their last names).
Names and Naming: Is Rex a good name for a kid? I really like to name my kid Rex since it derives from Latin which means 'King'.
Kids are cruel. My given name is David, my sister's Lisa, and my brother's Michael. All were in the top three for our gender in the years that we were born. I always said I would not give my child a common name, but didn't want to tag them with something freakish, goofy, unspellable, or impossible to pronounce or remember. I named my daughter Raeann and nicknamed her Raeny. She's never had any issues other than finding her name on things in tourist traps. Some of the best advice I saw was take the full name, first, middle, and last, and scream it from your back porch a half dozen times. You'll be doing it for the next eighteen years. Ask some of your friends kids if they know anyone named Rex and what they think of the name (or any other). I've seen goofy or noble names turn kids into pariahs. Kahil Gibran said in his book The Prophet that your children are not your property; they come through you, not from you. Respect them.

What is the name of that connection you feel when you meet someone very similar to you?
Well I guess there are many terms. Rapport is one However in the first ten minutes or so when I meet someone I get a “picture” that I’ve learned to trust . One hearty Irish guy I met last year with his family in a local park. We had lots in common but I could see this darkness about him.Later we found that if he drank even a small amount he went completely schizoid. The same sense is in operation when I meet people I like and trust immediately.It seems very accurate
