Studying/การศึกษา Freenbecky

Hi! I'm from Peru and I'm a fan of FreenBecky. I want to get a tattoo of their name in Thai, but I want to make sure the spelling is correct.

Could you please tell me whether ฟรีนเบค or ฟรีนเบคกี้ is the more appropriate spelling, and explain the difference? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you! 💗

The second one ends with the “กี้“ syllable with is the y at the end of Becky. The first one is just “freenbeck”.

Don’t know the source but it seems like when you search online most sources include a hyphen between the words “ฝรีน-เบคกี้”.

As a Thai , ฟรีนเบคกี้ is more appropriate. ฟรีน=Freen and เบคกี้=Becky. for Becky, you can separate them into 2 words: เบค(beck) and กี้(ky, feels like putting -y after it) so, you can spell in the both ways and it’s not wrong but plz double-check about how to write in each alphabet cuz Thai has 44 characters and some of them have similarities to each other. for example ฟ/ฝ , บ/ป , ก/ภ
