Help[Facts] Re: I would like to have my own English name.
in reply to a message by Wonseok Choi
Has your Korean name got a meaning? If so, you can go to the Home page of this site, and under Search there's an option where you can type in the meaning and see what you get!
May I also suggest that you might like to check with an English-speaking friend that there won't be pronunciation issues with the name you choose; you might not even be aware that you've got a Korean accent (and, indeed, perhaps you haven't!) but if there are any sounds that your countrymen find difficulty with in English, it might be wise to avoid them.
Also on the home page, you can find out what little American boys were being named when you were a baby! Might give you some ideas.
Let us know if you find a name you like.
