I changed my maiden name, so now here in the States, my Korean name takes the romanization spelling "Lim" but in Korea it is pronounced "eem." I kind of don't like how my new name is pronounced here in the States...I feel like an arm or a leg(lim as in limb)....but my new Korean name is ten times better than my old maiden name  |
Better than Rim  My first name translates to "knife" in Korean. My last name in English is a homophone for a word that means "one who injures".
I'm dangerous here. |

you sure that's not ��Ʈ��?
I've gotten used to my name in Hangul Justin > ����ƾ
What I have a hard time with are when people call me ��ƾ�� and when Koreans reromanize my name as Justine.
Oh well, my Korean pronunciation sucks too. |

My name sounds exactly the same in Korean as in English: Shane and ����. I'm lucky.
Typically, I abhor Konglish with a seething fury that can't be explained. �佺Ʈ with extra emphasis on the UH please! |

I have a problem writing my name in Korean. When I first arrived, people kept writing it as ���̺�� which I didn't like because my name is 2 syllables, not 4 and it doesn't end in an "eu" sound. So when I complained, people cut it down to ���̺� which isn't too bad..
However, if I was to write "I am David", as in ���̺� �̿��� doesn't the �� carry through making it "Dae e be shi ae yo" ? if so, that sucks.. I don't want a "shi" there.. am I making a mistake?
I also tried writing it ���̤Ԥ��Ӥ� which would seem to be ok and solve my problem.. except my students found it hilarious. Is there some rule I don't know about which means I can't use that final �� there? or were they just laughing at my poor handwriting or strange name?
Anyone else have any problems? |
I know someone named David and he spells his name ���� when using his Enlgish name. It's your name so, as long as it follows Korean phonetical rules, spell it as you like.

 You're in another country, I think you should accept how they write your name even if it doesn't sound quite right. The students dont complain when we give them completely new names.... |
LALALA LA LA.... we can't hear you, newbie. |

why didnt you romanize it as 'Yim' or 'Im' ?
but yeah, Lim seems to be the most common way of romanizing "��"
i see a lot of kor-ams that have been making an effort to spell their names closer to how its pronounced in korean - like Gim and Bak
my name would be horrible if spelled the 'proper' way, as it becomes an english word that would be inappropriate as a last name |
