The easiest way is to find a Thai letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Thai name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter ม for “m,” า for “a,” ย for “y” and า for “a.” You just need to put them together and write มายา for “Maya.”
Here are some English names in Thai.

Hi Aghie,
Welcome to ThaiPod101.com! 😊 Based on the pronunciation you described, your name "Aghie" could be written approximately as อากี in Thai.
If you prefer to use your first name, "Cris" can be written as คริส.
Since foreign names are usually written in Thai according to their pronunciation rather than their original spelling, there can sometimes be more than one possible spelling.
Thank you for studying Thai with us! We hope you have fun learning the consonants and building up your Thai step by step. 🇹🇭😊

Hello guys! can you guys tell me how to write my name in Thai? I am Aghie, tt is pronounced as "A-ghie" with an H, sometimes they pronounce it as "a-gi" which is wrong, but sometimes I let them call me "Cris" cause it is my first name. "Aghie" is actually from my second name which is "Aghiebert" but most of my friend call me "Aghie." I am just a beginner on learning Thai, I only know some of the consonants, and still learning the basics. Thank you in advance, I'm excited to know my name in Thai.

Hello! My name is Celeste (usually pronounced "suh lest" but it can be pronounced "see lest". If there isn't a name for that in Thai, just "Cee" is sometimes my nickname. I am an absolute beginner trying to learn the basics of Thai, and would love to know what my name would be written as in Thai!
Hello MJ!
How exciting that you're starting to learn Thai script! To write your name "MJ" in Thai, you would use the letters เอ็มเจ (em-je). Thai script uses different characters, and these represent the sounds in your name.
For a friendly start, you might enjoy learning how to say "hello" with สวัสดี (sawatdee) and "name" with ชื่อ (cheu). Also, exploring how to make polite requests in Thai could be helpful. Check out Could You Please Teach Me Some Thai? and How to Get Insider Thai Info from the Locals.

Hi อแมนดา (Amanda)! 👋
You're welcome! We're glad you found it helpful.
That's a great question! Thai nicknames are often given by family members or chosen based on personal preference, and there isn't really one single "best" nickname for a particular name. Because of that, it's difficult for us to recommend a specific nickname without knowing more about the person and the context.
