Expert: None Date: 4/8/2007 Subject: Give Me A Korean Name Please!
Question QUESTION: Hi, my name is Deanne and I'm 13 years old.
I have been obsessed with Korea since the August of 2006. Since then I have always wanted to have a Korean name. You have written my name in Hangul before and I'd like an authentic Korean name now also. And also, if you could, I'd like the initials DS. But if not, that is also fine! Thanks for your time!
(PS, to Paul, the other 13 year old who wanted a Korean name people actually make fun of me for being a Korean addict. This one guy calls me "Fake Korean" or "Korean Wannabe")
ANSWER: Hello the Korean Wannabe,
Thanks for loving Korea and Things Korean. Why don't you send me your e-mail address? Your friend's Korean name will be right there.

Actually I want you to give me a Korean name.
I think that it wouldn't feel the same to give myself a Korean name.
Answer Hi again,
Sorry for not fully understanding what you wanted at first!! I thought that you just wanted to get your friend name in Korean. As you wish, I make a Korean name with initial DS for you. How about Dae Sung, which is one of the common names widely used in Korea as a man's name. It means "a great success". In addition, I want to give you one of the Korean surnames, Jung. So your full name is like this Jung Dae Sung and you should be a real Korean as you want. I hope it helps you.
