Thai Girl Nicknames

Can anyone correctly translate this "country" girl's (khon meuang) name?

ป้อม

The dictionary says FORT, FORTRESS, CITADEL, but she insists that it has another (not too flattering) meaning.  The ป้อม I know changed her name after high school to something more tun samai as many baan-nawk kids do.

Thanks

It might be because another meaning of ป้อม "poom" is "round and plump! :o

A synonym for ป้อม "poom" would be กลมๆ "klom klom"

Maybe she didn't like that.

(otherwise it could be that ป้อม "poom"can also mean "dungeon" :D )

Cheers.

Snowleopard.

:D

I can't think of too many girls, in any culture, that would *want* to be named "plump"

Thanks white-cat; btw, where did you find that definition?
