This practice is virtually unknown in most countries outside of marriage. Thai given names generally convey positive attributes, and a number of Thai people change their given names frequently (and their family names less frequently, as it requires permission from the head of a family or, in the case of children, father and mother). In many social situations, the nickname takes precedence over the real name. Additionally, while given names are used for official purposes and record-keeping, most Thais are also given a nickname at birth which they use in their daily life, including at school and in the workplace. The diversity of family names is due to the fact that Thai surnames are a recent introduction and are required to be unique to a family. Thai names (given and family) are diverse and often long. This differs from the family-name-first patterns of Cambodian, Vietnamese, and other East Asian countries. Thai names follow the Western European pattern of a given name followed by a family name.
