[Facts] Names from Various Nationalities-Pron.?!?
Hi there!I was doing some research into different names I might like and on another website I came across some names that were from many different parts of the globe.The other site wasnt too helpful with pronounciation but I was wondering if there was anyone here who might be able to help me out?! I;ll give the name, nationality and the meaning in brackets, if anyone has any clues as to how these names are pronounced that would be awesome!! They are all male names so far, thats as far as I got...BAEDDAN-Welsh (Boar)
KIET-Thai (Honor)
KELE-Native American (Sparrow Hawk)Thank you for any help you may be able to give me, and I'm sure I'll find some more names soon lol...Charlene

I know a Kiet (Male, Chinese-Vietnamese) whose name is simply pronounced KEET. I don't know whether that's the same as the Thai pronunciation though.

Kiet I think would be said like Kee-ett (key-et). I've seen that spelling on a girl, I think she was from Singapore.

Thanks so much! I have to say for the name Kiet I love the KEET pronounciation but I dont think I would be too fussy on the KEY-ET, like you mentioned it does sound a tad feminine!! Thanks so much for your help!Charlene
