"More Korean Names Questions" , posted Tue 23 Sep 13:00

On my previous question I just got lazy and decided on "Kim". This time around I'm curious on first names for two twins:
-A boy born on Thursday at 11:59 PM
-A girl born on Friday at 12:01 AM

The name can mean just about anything as long as you aren't secretly telling me something vulgar. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The names translate too..? (I don't want to sound rude, it's just that I normally try to create names with meaning.

BTW, though I know that alot of asian names display the family name first, the twins actually live in america.

He's messing with you. It'd be like naming your character "John Doe", and... well, if you don't get the second one, nevermind.

Anyway, I gotta recommend you look elsewhere for names.

What do Kim Young Mok, Kim Sue Il, Kim Kaphwan, Chang Koehan, Choi Bounge, Kim Jae Hoon, Kim Dong Hwan, Jhun Hoon, Kang Baedal, and Trevor Spacey translate to?

Young Mok and Sue Il are two names for the same Kizuna Encounter character. Trevor is from Metal Slug 4. Hmm, his name doesn't sound Korean, never mind translating him. The rest appear in KoF. Jae and Dong are in Garou Mark of the Wolves. Kaphwan appears in G.M.O.T.W. too but is non playable. For Jhun and Kang, if one of them is from Fight Fever than I'd guess that both of them are. Thanks in advance.

I have no clue where. Name site ask for you to input a name usually, not them giving you a name.

Well, I got three "drops of wisdom" (if aplicable) to share:

1.- Try to locate a board member that actually residents on Korea (the long lost Zyzyfer comes to my mind, when ever you are friend, I hope that you are drunk... hoh; wait, that's a line for somebody else ¬_¬)

2.- Try googling something like "korean music" or "korean authors"...

3.- Try to check any Tekken related forum (like www.tekkenzaibatsu.com ; since korean players are worpshiped as gods in the Tekken world there are bound to be someone log as a korean name in those forums; it would be also wise to check any tournament result shard on such site).

Tough the only thing I do right now is "to tell you to search" I promise that tomorrow I will actually look for something in order to help, as for now pressing matters request my presence elsewhere.

"Be well" ¬_¬

edit: the tekken site was wrong, edited some nonsense).

Korean boys name ?
Young Ho ; Sang Young ; Jo Pae ; In Sung ; Yun Ho ; Dal Sik ; Ho Ra ; Yong Seob ; Han Ryu ; Min Soo ; Suk Jin ; Ki Tae ; Jae Man ; Sung Do ; Woo Yeol.

Don't ask me the meaning of these names, I just take these from a manhwa.

Well, I'm Korean and fluent. But making names is still no easy task ne? For the girl how about Ji Hye? That means wisdom. As for the boy how about Dong Soo? I have no idea what that one means but it's Kuno Tatewaki's name in the Korean version of Ranma... Hmmm...I can't think of a twin boy's name that goes well with Ji Hye... The best I can come up with right now is Jin Ri. Which is a name I've never heard of before. But it means truth and it would be pronounced Jil Li.

Thanks, those should work well. Those are both given names correct? For example, if Kim were the family name, the names would be Kim Ji Hye and Kim Jil Li?

Toxico: I knew there were a few Koreans on the board so I was just hoping I was lucky enough to get their attention. Thanks for the alternate sources, though.

No prob. Sorry for being away for so long. And yes it would be Kim Ji Hye and Kim Jin Ri. (Kim Jil Li is just how Kim Jin Ri would be "pronounced")
