If Thai parents are anything like current US parents... lemme tell you, some people get... well... attached to their name and nickname choices. They get very upset if you dare call a kid by a nickname they didn't approve, or by any nickname at all if they love the kid's long name, and kids themselves get into it too.

Not everybody is like that, but it sure surprised me to see people acting like this online and off. I can understand if you don't want somebody calling your kid "Stupid poopyhead", but calling them Bobby instead of Robert is just Totally Uncool? I was surprised, as I said.
