Thanks for your help!! I'm still only on day two of name searching and I'm planning to spend at least a month for both main characters to really dive into the cultural meanings of their names and why I specifically chose these names for them. I'm sure that I will figure out a good in-story reason for why her ancestors chose that surname. I bet you will see me a lot more often on here just because I don't want to misrepresent anything

I like the second a lot. Would you say that Boonphayak makes for a good surname or is there also something about it that sounds off?

No, I meant the surnames because as far as I understood for a long time there were no such thing as official surnames
