I suggest possibly moving the article to his full name Ratchanon Ruanpetch with respect to WP:CRITERIA for naming consistency. While nicknames are commonly used in day-to-day life, most wiki articles of notable Thai people are named using their government name, such as Urassaya Sperbund (Yaya), rather than "[Nickname] [Given name]". Otherwise, articles are less commonly named with stage names instead, such as Bowkylion.
EDIT: He is credited as Ratchanon Ruanpetch in Duang with You (2026) and for songwriting credits on Apple Music and Spotify (e.g. "เหตุผลของวันนี้ (Flower)" by Proxie). This spelling, Ruanpetch, might be preferable over Ratchanon Ruenpech, although this spelling does appear from time to time.

- Hi!
- I agree with using his full name for the title per WP:CRITERIA. However, looking at English-language sources where the name appears in a formal/credited context, the spelling Ruenpech appears to be the most consistently used romanization.
- It's used on his IMDB and TMDB listings, and also appears in official posts from The Brothers and Proxie, also on Proxie's Youtube. Also an official interview with him in English that I referenced during the creation of this article, suggests this is the spelling that Ratchanon himself uses.
- The "Ruanpetch" spelling in the Duang with You credits on Wikipedia and on Spotify/Apple Music songwriting credits seems to be a transliteration that's closer to the Thai pronunciation, but it seems to just be one of the many inconsistent spellings.
- I'd support a move from Gun Ratchanon to Ratchanon Ruenpech based on the weight of sourcing. Lnxd95 (talk) 06:27, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
- That's so true. Sounds good!
- I think at one point I was looking for a consistent romanization and just settled for the one as credited. I don't suppose we would need a redirect for the alternative spelling Ruanpetch then.
- I'm in favour of moving it to Ratchanon Ruenpech. Happy Songkran! rlsmr3139talk 12:51, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
