HelpRe: Should I have an English name?
in reply to a message by Chihe_girl
I don't know anything about Korean, but I'd probably say "CHEE-hay" (like the country Chile with an h instead of an l) or "CHEE-heh". But maybe it's more like "CHEE-eh"?
I wouldn't change it if I were you. Maybe you'll have to tell people how to pronounce it when you first meet them, but it's short and easy to spell and I think people will remember if you tell them how to say it.
If you end up having trouble with it, you could choose an English name or use a nickname like Chi, Chichi, Chia, etc. to use most of the time. Or if your name has a good translation or English form, you could use that (I know a Chinese exchange student whose name is Yiyue, but she usually goes by January because Yiyue is January in Chinese.)
