Know Your Korean Name

Annyeong haseyo!

Been curious about my Korean name since I enrolled in Extramural Classes in Asian Languages (Korean) in UP Diliman. Classes started last Saturday and until now, I'm still in heaven although I've been having sleepless nights memorizing hangeul alphabet.

Anyway, I found this thru the net. A fun blog on how to 'get/know' your Korean name. Thanks Kaitor World!

PS. This is not in any way accurate. I've yet to know how Koreans name their children. So this is just for fun. And if you want to know how to write in in Hangeul, just wait 'til I finish the course ^_^ Koreans usually get three names. Surname comes first,then Middle Name, Then your (First) Name, as opposed to Western naming traditions.

So, what's your Korean Name? Mine is Shin Ji Kyo. Please tell me yours. Kamsahamnida ^_^
