Anyone have Korean names on the board?
I made mine and use it on all official documents.

I chose �̻��� (strange)...suits me well I think.

My second choice was ������ (Man You-suck) but my darling wife objected. I just wanted to be able to tell people my name was "Man, you suck"!

Some bad choices include:
�̱�� (Lee Ki-bum), ������ (Yu Suck-mi) , ������ (You Suck-bum)

Hehe...just for a laugh....

Anyone have Korean names, or names that would be funny (tragic) to have?

I sometimes use Jin Ju (pearl), because that's what my birth name (not a name I use now) means.

I have a student who has the unfortunate moniker of Bang You Mi.

Yeah, �� and ��� are pretty much the same...
