From ‘Kind’ to ‘Skye’

See this cute little baby pictured above, his name could have been KIND. Yes, his supermodel/ actress mother “Lukkade” Metinee Kingpayom wanted to name him ‘Kind’ because in English the word ‘kind’ has a pleasant meaning. Also, ‘kind’ sounded very similar and went well with Mackay, Metinee’s mother-in-law’s maiden name. I think they pronounce it Mac “Eye”.  Fortunately for him, Lukkade decided to scrap that idea because in Thai, ‘kind’ sounded too similar to ‘khaai’ meaning to spit out, to eject things from your mouth.

After much thought, she decided to go with Skye which originated from Scotland. In Scotland there is an island called “The Isle of Skye”. Lukkade  thought it sounded nice and told her father about it. He said it was a good idea because “Skye” goes well with Lukkade’s last name “Kingpayom”.  In Thai, “Payom” means the heavens or the sky. So she decided to go with ‘Skye’. His full name is Skye Kingpayom Charles Pearl (maybe it’s Charperl ?).

I think it was a good choice. Much better than KIND.
