What does your last name say about you?

BANGKOK: A name for any other rose would smell just as sweet. Former Miss Thailand Areeya “Pop”, who has been obliged to give up her last name Jumsai and go back to using her original last name of Sirisopha, remains gorgeous and is one of Thailand's most beautiful ladies. 

This whole episode is rather awkward for Areeya. She ran for Miss Thailand in 1994 using the last name of Sirisopha. Afterwards, she changed her last name to Jumsai. The problem is that Jumsai happens to be a royally-granted last name of the illustrious Jumsai family, who can trace their roots to King Rama III of the Chakri Dynasty.
