Yes like other ppl mentioned it's seems popular now to do non Han-ha names... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-who-speak-koreanare-familiar-with-korean-names#post-2324637 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 02:33:20 +0000 misolee 2324637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes actually a name but a little unique like really being named universe. But I've heard of the name so not uncommon. </p> <p>I knew a family with three girls names Star, Sky, and Galaxy. That was their names in Korean and parents just translated to English for their American names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-who-speak-koreanare-familiar-with-korean-names#post-2324634 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 00:54:02 +0000 gracecat 2324634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I am Korean and my Korean friend has that name.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of names like Bada (ocean), Hanul (sky), Yuri (glass)... we gave our daughter a more traditional, han-ja name but I know lots of people lately are going with completely Korean, non han-ja names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-who-speak-koreanare-familiar-with-korean-names#post-1320687 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:01:30 +0000 Sammyfab 1320687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Chinese and my parents did something similar for my son, except they picked a Chinese name that resembled his English name. They gave me a few to choose from and I picked the one with my favourite meaning (and yes, it's an actual Chinese word). Mine and my sister's chinese names were also chosen similarly. We are a very Westernized family though so I'm can't vouch for whether this is the proper naming protocol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bees-who-speak-koreanare-familiar-with-korean-names#post-1320664 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 13:37:47 +0000 spaniellove 1320664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're familiar with Korean names or how babies are named in Korea, I have a question for you!</p> <p>My dad wants to give the baby the Korean name Uju, which means "universe". At first I thought he meant that the characters meant that but after looking up the Korean word for universe I realized that it was the actual word, kind of like naming your kid Sky. Is this an actual name in Korea? </p>
