And your name also has a meaning too. Most Korean letters are based on Chinese characters and have meanings to it. In my case my name is An-Young-Soo. Young means a road, and Soo means extravagant. So my name means extravagant road; my grandparents wanted my road of life to be extravagant thus my name. Bahamut, your name Chul Min has a meaning too, ask your parents, its really fun to find out. One of my favorite names is Dong-il, which means number one in the east. My friend has that name and he told me his parents gave him the name because they want him to become the number one man in east asia. Anyways, that how Korean names are made. And to add to that, putting -a or -e next to a name is used for calling. But you only put -e or -a when you call a name that ends with a consonant, and you can only use -ya with a name that ends with a vowel. For example; Chul-Min-a, Chul-Min-e, Young-Soo-ya. | ||

I cannot understand why you say it is 'Yim'. I can read Korean and speak it conversationally and I have seen Boxer's name written down on hundreds of occasions. I cannot see any reason to believe there should be anything resembling an English 'y' sound at the start. I have also spoken with countless Koreans about Boxer and never heard any of them pronounce it with a 'y' sound. Same goes for 'Lee' and 'Yi'. If I have missed something here I would be grateful to know more about it. | ||

and about Lim, I just pronounce it as Im, but why you say Yim? And another thing is about Suma Go, why koreans say Shuma Go? I know that 's' before 'i' is pronounced as 'sh', but before 'u' And, btw, it would be nice to know what does progamer names mean  | ||

But then the romanisation as 'Lee' dates back to the original written and spoken form which was changed during the 20th century, doesn't it Wax? | ||

 . I should ask one of my teachers.NK Does prounounce Lee as Lee/Ree though. I don't know exactly when the rule of dropping the R sound of some characters when they appear at the beginning of a word started though ;/ | ||
