I hadn't heard about this until seeing your blog post. My house is in a new subdistrict now: แขวงนวลจันทร์. Cool.
Also, นวมินทร์ should be Nawamin, not Nuamin. This is an unambiguous pronunciation under Thai reading rules. นว- can only be interpreted as [นะวะ], because ม already has a vowel, so it is not "available" to serve as the final consonant in a syllable นวม, and thus interpreting -ว- as the vowel /ua/ is not possible.
Thanks for the correction, I did the romanization manually, not checking for the spelling used by Thai Wikipedian Potapt, who added the new subdistricts to the English Wikipedia - he spelled it correctly as Nawamin.
Seems like after the second batch of new subdistricts in next year is done, a new edition of the "Recommended romanization" book should be done, to also include corrections of the mistakes in the first edition.
