I'm a 2nd gen and I don't know the meaning of names, I know many Koreans that are fobs and many of them don't know the meaning behind many Korean names either.. like it's an academic thing to know the Hanja behind names and to know the meaning..

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is if you had the name Sam Soon, whether you're Korean or not, it's a pretty fugly name.

And I think in the show, in her past, kids made fun of her but her dad made her feel better about it and he died or something. Forgot about it.

It's pretty much a name that is thought to be unpretty.
Tomboyish and very native.

Yo Hwan, Jae Yoon are modern kinda names. Like my name, Tae Hyun. Modern.

They sound nice and modern. Parents choose that nowadays.
But in the past, the meaning of the names were much more important and they were usually (not always) chosen by the grand parents. So kind of an old school name but with good meaning.

So sometimes good meanings came up with old fashioned, untasteful names. like..

Choon Ja
Bong Ja
Bong Soo
Sam Soon
Dong Hyang (For a girl, lol) (my gf's name =\)
Geez, I don't know, the list goes on.

Anyway, immature modern people sometimes make fun of those old names, especially kids. Maybe that's why she felt annoyed by her name in the drama.

I don't see how a Korean name could have 'Gay' in it being one word.

I know a Yoon-Bum Choi! It's just terrible when you have to westernize your name - in Korea it's pretty common to have Bum or Suk in one's name.

Speaking of old fashioned names - I was supposed to be Myung-Geum. Ugh.

To foreigners, there doesn't seem to be any difference between Korean names, but JongMan gave really good examples for Westerners. A teenage girl in the US would hate to have the name Agnes, Bertha, ect. On the flipside, you'll never meet a grandmother named Kaitlin or something. There's just names which are considered modern and old-fashioned in Korea just like in every other part of the world.

I think most famous progamers have what would be considered modern sounding names. Except NaDa (isn't Yoon Yeol an uncommon name?)
