We knew it: Somchai most popular name for Thai males

Our suspicions have been confirmed!

Somchai is the most common name for males in Thailand with about 240,000 Somchais registered throughout the country, the office of the Interior Ministry revealed yesterday. The most popular names after Somchai are Somsak (230,000), Somporn (210,000), Somboon (170,400), and Prasert (170,000), the Bangkok Post reported.

And what about the most popular name for females? No word on that unfortunately.

The Interior Ministry did reveal however that women outnumbered men by 1,017,737 in their estimate of Thailand’s population at 64,076,033.

The figures were released for World Population Day.
