ArchivesRe: South Korea top 10
in reply to a message by Perrine
The Wikipedia article sites multiple sources which could be a problem for Mike...
This site here (http://www.baby-name.kr/ - also has EN version), which I have used as a reference for much of the Korean names I create and/or edit, has full data going back to 2008 (though in the rankings page, they only show the top 500 which cuts off at 500th place and not let any ties push the list further down) and I believe Forebears (https://forebears.io/forenames/most-popular) may have gotten the data from that site.
The website does have an e-mail address, so if Mike wants to play it safe and get in touch with the site owner first before publishing, say, the top 100 baby names, he can do that.
EDIT: Something that popped into my head just now, a Korean given name has various kinds of romanisations (examples that I can think of include Seon (+Sun) and Pureun (+Puleun)), so that should be something that would need addressing if publishing the bits of data here can be given a go-ahead.
Unrelated note to Mike: regarding the next name update, can you please revert the pronunciation for Japanese Mei back to ME-EE? I had sent a comment 3 years ago about this and I do remember sending a name correction form about this as well a while after that.
