Thoughts On English Names In Korean

Thoughts on English names in Korean

I have been trying to Konglishify English-speaking-people’s names and it has come to my attention that most of the traditional spellings that are provided are not how the name owner would prefer it spelled.

I think the issue is that translators are prioritizing the spelling over the pronunciation.

Also people just have preferred variations to how someone would say their name if the normal lettering is unavailable.

Examples of preferred spellings, from ppl i have asked:

Diana: 다야나

Robby: ㄹ오비

Jessica: 제세카

David: 데옏

Keep in mind that not all ppl would necessarily prefer this, this is just individual preferences.

Thoughts?

Story time:

So one time I was at a summer camp and a kid brought a bulk package of pixie sticks with them (they’re flavored sugar in paper straws). They were sharing them with everyone but the counselors and leaders were not a fan of having a collective of like 100 sugar high 10 y.os for a week straight.

The pixie stick kid divided the bag amongst his cabin mates and what ensued in the following week was 100 10 y.o kids having sugar drug deals. There were shady secret meetups. Ziplocks of pixie sticks buried in hidden locations for pickups.

Kids were biting off pieces of the stick and chewing the sugar out so counselors couldn’t retrieve the sticks if caught. You just shoved the whole thing in your mouth and spat out the wrapper after.

I feel I should also mention this was a bible camp. A bible camp of pixie stick dealing 10 y.os.

When I found that you were sad

All I wanted was to help

I loved you dear mom and dad

I would try to make you well

All my friends are full of color

Vibrant lights of time and change

Even so I helped them over

Fading colors brought by rain

Every hue that I contained

Full of angersadnessrage

I would take the time to drain

For no one else would do the same

Whether idle hands or aim

They all bled thru me the same

Till I could no longer take

No matter what was at stake

What will you do when I go

When my body overflows

When my glass container breaks

Leaking all the muted fakes

I have nothing left to give

Nothing further here remains

Leave me to my muddled colors

I will never be the same.

Your skin is an organ.

Therefore when you shave you are shaving your organ.

Fellow headache havers/haters:

I have sinus headaches all the time- it’s allergies, it’s whatever.

What is not whatever is the time I went to pet sit for my cousin.

I stopped for lunch, got a blinding headache in the middle of it, scrambled to my car, drove to a store, found out it was closed, jogged a block to a store to see if they had painkillers, they did not, jogged back to my car, tried not to fall over, realized I locked my keys and phone in the car in a distant city, felt irrational dread that I couldn’t reset in real life, went to an antique store and asked to borrow their phone, called my mom, she couldn’t find my key, called for roadside assistance, they said they’d be an hour, mom calls back and found my key, I gotta call the company again to cancel the assistance, wait 20 minutes for my mom to show up. She was so frazzled she didn’t bring pain killers, I get into my car and realize I still haven’t cared for my cousins pet yet, I go take care of the pet and successfully don’t die, I drive all the way home and still haven’t died, then I finally take meds 2 hrs later and go to sleep.

Anyways is that normal?
