I personally have never heard of that one, but I did realize how tricky your lastname can be when writing about you ^_^ Why did you parents called you “Bright Eyes” when you were little? Was there any meaning behind it?

My nickname when i was little was “Bright Eyes.” Just like an Indian name. Other than that, I’ve never really had a nickname. My parents specifically chose “Sarah” because it can’t be shortened into anything. Although a lot of people like to make fun of my last name. Heard the song “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”? Yeah, I get a lot of teasing for that one.

@ Emily. Hehe, I'm sorry. You can try again though. I think you have to type your first name and last name two separate times. I tried that and it worked. For your questions regarding my name, you can go to the Look, it's Sam. I've clarified it there.

I’m super bummed! I tried to get my Thai name (cool link by the way), and it said there was no name found. I was really excited to see what it would come up with, but oh well. Anyway, question for you. Does your name really mean cotton candy, or is that just your nickname. Also, if cotton candy is your nickname, where did Sam come from? How did people start calling you Sam?

[...] that is one of the reasons why many Thai parents pick anything to refer to their kids as. Khun Sam wrote about this on her [...]
