I've collected English-speaking country names that are easy to pronounce in Korean.
Personally, when I like an English-speaking country name, I don't have the condition of 'international' or 'easy to pronounce in Korean'. (So there are quite a few names in my PNL that contain f, ph, q, r, rl, th, v, w, x, z sound, which are difficult to pronounce in Korean. And my English name is Jennifer) But it's definitely a bonus for me. So, I collected English-speaking country names that are easy to pronounce in Korean. The condition is that f, ph, q, r, rl, th, v, w, x, z sound are not included. And this list is a compilation of English-speaking country names that are easy to pronounce in Korean, so it may not apply to other languages, but if you want names that are easy to pronounce in multiple languages, I hope this list is helpful.

Thank you. As far as I know, many of these names are used in several countries.
I’m super surprised to see my given name Paige on here! My Korean friends have always taken a little bit of practice to pronounce it. I’ve noticed even people who are native English speakers sometimes have trouble with it.
The Paige was included in this list using the criteria of no f, ph, q, r, rl, th, v, w, x, and z sounds. But now that I think about it, spelling may also have an effect.
This is super impressive!
My favourites are Ace, August, Damian, Dominic, Edmund, Joshua, Julian, Kai, Leo, Lucian, Malcom, Noah, Alice, Belle, Calista, Eliana, Estella, Helena, Juliet, June, Layla, Lucia, Madeline, Mia, Monica, Noelle, Stella, Jamie, Jocelyn and Lacey, but overall I really like the selection of names. :)
