I'm looking for sample type names that one might encounter/use from a native Thayan. Can anyone help?

Take a look at Kuje's NPC files. They present a number of Thayvian NPCs from published Realmslore, and should be enough to get you started...

The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting has a list of sample male and female names, as well as common surnames, for each region.

In addition, somewhere on Sean K. Reynold's website is the original list of the names of ALL the Red Wizards in the Proskur enclave in Lords of Darkness (the actual final publication only lists the names of the most important individuals...probably since player's storming the enclave would not stop to ask names, and those shopping there would only need to deal with the named/known merchants).

Thanks! Of course, I was looking in The Unapproachable East sourcebook. So, I'll check out the FRCS and look on Mr. Reynold's page for some help.

There was also an eclectic mix of Thayvian-styled names in RLB's "Unclean," that may prove useful for you as well.
