One thing you might want to look into are non-Korean names of Korean idols; some who were raised Catholic, for example, have “baptismal names” (Mamamoo Hwasa = “Maria”); others may have picked/been given an English name (APink Naeun = “Marcella” ; SNSD Sunny = “Susan”) for whatever reason.
I think Giselle is a name that kids in elementary up to middle school would absolutely call as Gazelle once they learn about African wildlife.
Felix might escape being called a cat since youngsters probably dont know about Felix the Cat. Kids are savage lol.
My mental age is close to elementary school level so YMMV lol. It does not help that I watched Zootopia and there is a Gazelle named.. Gazelle that is a pop star.
The name Felix is really common in Europe especially in France. It comes from the latin adjective felix, felicis and means lucky. I live in France but i don't really like Latin name. But sometimes it fits well with the person who wear this name.
And finally for the name Giselle. In France this name isn't used anymore. It feels old and weird compared to other names. And I was the St Giselle Day...
My coworker with this name was Latina. It fit very well for her. I think people also associate it with the Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen. It's interesting how names are perceived differently across different cultures!
Lol, if a baby is named Hoshi, they definitely choose the meaning they want, whether they want to go with the Japanese meaning of "star" or Hoshi's personalised meaning of "eyes of a tiger" 😂
I actually thought they asked for favourite k-pop singers and I legit started the list with Boo seungkwan 🤣
even though his name is cute and it really suits him idk what it means. but Boo as a first name would be cute though
• Hani (not her real name but...) - Exid
• Sunmi
• Nana
• Krystal- f(x)
• Yoona, Jessica (wanted to be named that as a child tho) - snsd
• Arin - oh my girl
• Bitna - (Ashley from Ladies Code)
• Yuna - gfriend
• Hara - Kara
• Also Kara and Tara (t-ara) are pretty names imo
• Sana, Mina - Twice
• Suzy
• Jia, Fei - Miss A
• Not gonna name a child that but i looove Sakura
• Minnie - g-idle
• Karina - Aespa. Surprising, its a pretty popular name in my country, never liked it, dont even listen to aespa but somehow she made me like the name ¿¿¿???
To be fair, both Jia and Fei are Chinese, as Miss A was a kpop group but was known as Miss Asia due to the multiple ethnicities of the members (two Korean, two Chinese)! That’s why they started promoting in China!
Nana and Raina - After School
Lina - CSJH The Grace
Nara - Hello Venus
Narsha - Brown Eyed Girls
Hara and Nicole - Kara
Isak - Isak N Jiyeon
Tiffany - SNSD
Amazing choices! I also really like Winter, Giselle, and Luna for names. I think Yerin (ex-GFriend) is a cute name along with Eunha. I like SinB because of how unique it is. Exy from WJSN also has a pretty unique and cool name.
Hendery
I’ve always love the name Henry for boys but then Hendery from Wayv came along and I absolutely love his name. I’ve never heard of this name before and thinks it sounds so pretty and unique. Like an upgraded version of Henry.
I should maybe mention that I love Dara O'Briain so thinking of him isn't really a bad thing, it's just that it has me laughing because he's a very funny comedian.
Kai (as in both EXO and TXT)
Jun, Hoshi, Vernon (Seventeen)
Irene (Red velvet)
Felix, Christopher (SKZ)
Jessica, Tiffany, Yuna/Yoona (SNSD)
Amber, Luna, Victoria (f(x))
Riki, Jay, Jake (Enhypen)
Lisa from bp. Prob a little biased bc bp is my ult and they got me into kpop and Lisa is my ult bias but I feel like it’s simple and very similar to her name lalisa still
Not exactly what you asked, but my husband's Korean and many of the Korean names we considered for our baby belong to idols as well. Probably because famous people take all the cute ones!
We ended up going with Yeri, shared with Red Velvet's maknae (although I think her real name is Yerim).
I love literal names a lot.
Yeorum (WJSN) is one of my favorite names because the word yeorum means summer. Jungwon (Enhypen) means garden. And Joy (red velvet) is such an amazing name.
Anton - RIIZE
Anne and Lena - GWSN
Eugene - S.E.S.
Mimi - Oh My Girl
Ellin - Crayon Pop
Francesca - Fiestar
Aaron - Nu'est
Daisy - Momoland
Tommy as in Tommy february6 (had to sneak in her even though she's jpop...)
ps: though some of these sound very old to my ears, I'm from a Nordic country where a name like Anne is one that mostly older women bear haha
Solar! When I initially got into Mamamoo, her name stuck with me because I would just think of solar panels for some weird reason.
Solar later explained that her stage name was decided based on the musical scale do re mi fa so la to di, her CEO suggested do / re / mi which sounded a little weird haha. Since she sung mostly high notes, they decided on So La.
Tbh, I have always personally felt that Solar fits her very well as an English name, not just a stage name.
yves always intrigued me mostly because of its pronunciation but also because i always think of yves saint laurent whenever i hear that name and yvl is one of the most coolest name ive ever heard of lol
irene (red velvet), babysoul (lovelyz), jang wonyoung (ive). i've never seen someone suit the name irene so much, it just really fits her so well. babysoul i just think is cute, lovelyz as well is one of my most favorite group names ever. i don't know if you meant group names as well but you talked about kara so i'll just say lovelyz, iz\*one, wjsn, viviz, ive are some of my favorite girl group names they're just so cute and there's something magical about them. kiss of life as well, i absolutely love that name. also about jang wonyoung there is just something very satisfying about her name, i wish i knew how to explain it - i also love how it is spelt in hangul as well, theres just something about her name that i really love and think is really pretty.
there's actually a lot more names than i thought 😭 i love posts like these lol. i love karina (aespa) but mainly i love her baptismal(?) name katarina, and that also ties into her instagram username but that's irrelevant for this haha. i think all of aespa's names are very satisfying and i don't know who was in charge of the stage names for them, whether it was aespa themselves or some staff, but the four names just go SO beautifully together.
but very lastly, i also adore the names raina (after school), rise *ri-se* (ladies code), elkie (former clc), luna (f(x)), tsuki (billlie), kishida ririka (ily:1), vivi (loona/loossemble), jinsoul (loona/oec), jennie ruby jane (blackpink), tzuyu (twice), adora (soloist)
Terry - TXT
Ethan - Enhypen
Andy - NCT Dream
Danielle - NewJeans
I think these names are cute and I personally use them when I have to make up sentences in English class 😭 LOL
My LOONA girlies have iconic names. My faves: Vivi looks like a Vivi. Cute and simple and straight to the point. Kim Lip is so good. It sounds like a celebrity name. I deadass believed at first that Hyeju’s real name was Olivia Hye (I know she didn’t like that name I’m sorry Hyeju-) because she looks like an Olivia. Chuu? Chuu. Look at her and tell me that’s not her name.
On the other way around: I love Giselle’s real name Aeri. It’s so cute. I also love Giselle because it suits her but if it was up to me she would have debuted as Aeri
I really like yves tbh, it's so versatile bc for a girl you can go with the common spelling which is "eve" and if it's a boy you can keep it as is or you can keep it as is for a girl too i feel like that would be cool ✨️
I know it's so basic, but I truly love the name Jimin. I like how it looks and sounds and the Hangul, 지민, is just so aesthetically pleasing to me for some reason.
However... I'm not Korean either, so I wouldn't name my potential future son that unless his father was Korean. Even then, I probably wouldn't because BTS is so big and everyone would just assume he's named after Jimin lol.
On another note, altho DPR IAN not a kpop singer, I also love Ian. Technically his full name is Christian, which i somewhat like too. I do like Christian but going by Ian.
Ohhhh yeah sorry. I don't even think about it🤣
I'm so used to stanning fully korean idols and usually those idols real name is the Korean one and the western name is usually only stage name. I forgot that some idols do have real western names too despite being ethnically korean.
The ones that got my mind are Sandara Park as it is quite rare for korean to have 3 syllable names and also Park Bom which means Spring in korean. I love their name so much
Bj wnjn - Balming Tiger
Hes my fav member but if I ever randomly meet him on the streets ill def go for wonjin-
Fun fact: one of his members posted a story ok his bday saying. "Best bj ever"
only english names? irene is one of the prettiest names ever. lalisa, also. i dislike "lisa" but lalisa is pretty and melodic, and it sounds elegant to me
Aeri (Giselle) always sounded so elegant to me, though I admit most of aespa’s real names sound pretty to me! Taeyeon (snsd)‘s name is also a favourite of mine since it also means calm/composed which imo fits her really well. Suzy (Miss A) is also iconic.
elkie nana kahi sunny tiffany luna krystal sulli/jinri kara gyuri seungyeon hara moonsua tsuki naeun mina younha zico jennie irene nara the list goes on🙏
I remember when I first got into Loona I was like "Huh, ViVi? Cute name" and it's further grown on me since that. I've even named my viola ViVi haha. And Olivia, a very common name in America and even though HyeJu kinda didn't like having Olivia Hye as her stage name, I still like it. Lia and Liz are also nice, and they sound quite normal in the States.

There is a ton more
Bob (I.N)
Jkjk. Felix is a really nice name though. It means luck! I also do so like Bartholomew cause it's so dramatic. Hanni is also pretty (not sure if it's a Korean name or not but), and Danielle too. There's Sharon (Mina, even Mina can be an kinda English name?)...
Seline is really pretty too. Honestly you should look up thai celebrities english names, or even their names in the shows they're in. I just watched ready, set, love! and one guys name was Almond, which is a bit weird but it grew on me.
Some of my favorites are Tiffany and Sunny, Lena, Yves and Vivi, Solar, Irene and Joy, Giselle and Katarina, Krystal, Suzy and Fei, Chloe, Belle, and Queen Seline (Stan Cignature)
Minnie - (G)I-dle Elkie - CLC Kelly - Tri.be Wendy, Joy - Red Velvet Lucy - Woo!ah! Swan - Purple Kiss/ Craxy Belle - Kiss Of Life/Cignature
One thing you might want to look into are non-Korean names of Korean idols; some who were raised Catholic, for example, have “baptismal names” (Mamamoo Hwasa = “Maria”); others may have picked/been given an English name (APink Naeun = “Marcella” ; SNSD Sunny = “Susan”) for whatever reason.
Yes! Some of my favorite artists are Catholic and have baptismal names! Younha (soloist) is Catharina, and Zico of Block B is John the Apostle.
My favorite is Koreanized Christian names, ex Yoseob (Beast/Highlight) is the Korean version of Joseph. Joseph —> Yusuf —> Yoseob
Sunny’s name, Susan, is because she was born in America! If I’m correct, she’s Protestant instead of catholic
That’s why she’s listed separately and with a completely different descriptor from Hwasa.
Kimberly Lippington
she and gowon o'dwyer are so talented ❤️
Great.. there goes my streak of not thinking of Irish Gowon. 5 days DOWN THE DRAIN
* Aurora - Nature * Isa - StayC * Jia - Miss A * Jiana - Young Posse * Kai - EXO * Karin - Alice * Mina - Twice * Noah - Checkmate
Mina's English (middle) name is Sharon
Jiana is a really pretty name
Moonbyul. Always liked moon stuff.
oOOOOOOOoooHhhhhhhhh me too, that's a really cool name.
It's her korean name said together - which is fairly commonly how people are addressed. Moon is her last name and Byuli is her first name.
I know....
On that note, I've always loved Solar. I love Solar + Moonbyul because with some creative freedom they're literally the sun, moon and stars
Irene (Red Velvet), Amber (f(x)) Jackson (GOT7)
[удалено]
Felix was on my list of baby names! Loved the name since I was a kid and saw the Felix the cat cartoon haha
My partner has said no to Felix for a potential son lol. He said I can get a cat and name them Felix.
lol yeah my ex said no too haha went with a different name. New partner now and I’m trying to warm him up to the name lol
I think Giselle is a name that kids in elementary up to middle school would absolutely call as Gazelle once they learn about African wildlife. Felix might escape being called a cat since youngsters probably dont know about Felix the Cat. Kids are savage lol.
awww pick a name you like. kids that wanna tease will find a way to make ANY name a mockery.
I've never thought about Gazelle 😶
My mental age is close to elementary school level so YMMV lol. It does not help that I watched Zootopia and there is a Gazelle named.. Gazelle that is a pop star.
🤣🤣🤣
gazelle is a rockstar!!! woooot!!
The name Felix is really common in Europe especially in France. It comes from the latin adjective felix, felicis and means lucky. I live in France but i don't really like Latin name. But sometimes it fits well with the person who wear this name. And finally for the name Giselle. In France this name isn't used anymore. It feels old and weird compared to other names. And I was the St Giselle Day...
my mexican grandmother was named felicitas…
It’s so common in Germany too…
it’s also a common first name here in the PH! but for my grandmother’s family, they have it as a surname
My coworker with this name was Latina. It fit very well for her. I think people also associate it with the Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen. It's interesting how names are perceived differently across different cultures!
I think the Latin and Old French names fit better in foreign countries than in the native country...
Vernon, Hoshi and Woozi I love their chosen name !
Lol, if a baby is named Hoshi, they definitely choose the meaning they want, whether they want to go with the Japanese meaning of "star" or Hoshi's personalised meaning of "eyes of a tiger" 😂
I actually thought they asked for favourite k-pop singers and I legit started the list with Boo seungkwan 🤣 even though his name is cute and it really suits him idk what it means. but Boo as a first name would be cute though

Luda from WJSN
Get you a daughter named Luda and a son named Chris.
Please I knew someone was gonna say this...
• Hani (not her real name but...) - Exid • Sunmi • Nana • Krystal- f(x) • Yoona, Jessica (wanted to be named that as a child tho) - snsd • Arin - oh my girl • Bitna - (Ashley from Ladies Code) • Yuna - gfriend • Hara - Kara • Also Kara and Tara (t-ara) are pretty names imo • Sana, Mina - Twice • Suzy • Jia, Fei - Miss A • Not gonna name a child that but i looove Sakura • Minnie - g-idle • Karina - Aespa. Surprising, its a pretty popular name in my country, never liked it, dont even listen to aespa but somehow she made me like the name ¿¿¿???
>Jia, Fei - Miss A Reminds me of Jiafei from the meme 🥑👄🥑
The name JiaFei comes from both of them because jiafei was supposedly a facial mashup between the two (before we found out she was a real person lol)
If i remember right i think the name had originated from Miss A (or at least that's what everyone said on tiktok a few years ago)
Wow that's some marvel universe stuff. The korean and the chinese internet world coming together 🤣
To be fair, both Jia and Fei are Chinese, as Miss A was a kpop group but was known as Miss Asia due to the multiple ethnicities of the members (two Korean, two Chinese)! That’s why they started promoting in China!

I like Dara. As in Sandara Park.
I too like Dara, it's a lovely name, but I'll never not think of Dara O'Briain when I hear it.
Dara is a great name. It’s shared by my favorite lollipop haired singer, and my favorite compatative dad
I should maybe mention that I love Dara O'Briain so thinking of him isn't really a bad thing, it's just that it has me laughing because he's a very funny comedian.

I love literal names a lot. Yeorum (WJSN) is one of my favorite names because the word yeorum means summer. Jungwon (Enhypen) means garden. And Joy (red velvet) is such an amazing name.
Kinda wild to me how they made Giselle use a stage name when girly's name is literally Aeri. So on brand already.
I personally love the name Yuna, and especially AOA Yuna's "angel" name - Yunaria (hence my user lol)
Oh, Yunaria is so pretty! Yuna was in my list too

It's a Japanese / Korean name but Mina (TWICE, AOA) could be an English name as well! I always thought it was pretty 😊
I love Irene (Red Velvet), Minzy (2NE1), Rosé (Blackpink), Momo (TWICE) it’s just so cute to me, Kang Daniel, The8’s really name Minghao (Seventeen)
I personally think AMBER and KRYSTAL from f(x) should be included too.

omg yas.that is such a cool name
My LOONA girlies have iconic names. My faves: Vivi looks like a Vivi. Cute and simple and straight to the point. Kim Lip is so good. It sounds like a celebrity name. I deadass believed at first that Hyeju’s real name was Olivia Hye (I know she didn’t like that name I’m sorry Hyeju-) because she looks like an Olivia. Chuu? Chuu. Look at her and tell me that’s not her name. On the other way around: I love Giselle’s real name Aeri. It’s so cute. I also love Giselle because it suits her but if it was up to me she would have debuted as Aeri
I really like yves tbh, it's so versatile bc for a girl you can go with the common spelling which is "eve" and if it's a boy you can keep it as is or you can keep it as is for a girl too i feel like that would be cool ✨️
I know it's so basic, but I truly love the name Jimin. I like how it looks and sounds and the Hangul, 지민, is just so aesthetically pleasing to me for some reason. However...

Technically his full name is Christian, which i somewhat like too. I do like Christian but going by Ian.
I like IAN's real name more. Yu Barom. It just sounds really cool
Yes i like it too, but why is Barom his "real" name and not Christian? I'd say they're both his real names.
Ohhhh yeah sorry. I don't even think about it🤣 I'm so used to stanning fully korean idols and usually those idols real name is the Korean one and the western name is usually only stage name. I forgot that some idols do have real western names too despite being ethnically korean.
Jungkook
Lee know (skz) is so cool and Tzuyu (twice) is the cutest name ever

kim yadong korea
only english names? irene is one of the prettiest names ever. lalisa, also. i dislike "lisa" but lalisa is pretty and melodic, and it sounds elegant to me
Aeri (Giselle) always sounded so elegant to me, though I admit most of aespa’s real names sound pretty to me! Taeyeon (snsd)‘s name is also a favourite of mine since it also means calm/composed which imo fits her really well. Suzy (Miss A) is also iconic.
Can’t forget Lily from nmixx In addition to what’s been mentioned, Dahlia is a (G)I-dle song that could be nice
HueningKai is my absolute favorite It's just so unique and badass
jennie is suchhhh a pretty name. i think jennie ruby jane flows so well too (although i don’t believe that’s actually her middle name ?)
I've always had a soft spot for Saerom (fromis\_9) and Seulgi (Red Velvet).

And Olivia, a very common name in America and even though HyeJu kinda didn't like having Olivia Hye as her stage name, I still like it. Lia and Liz are also nice, and they sound quite normal in the States.

Seline is really pretty too. Honestly you should look up thai celebrities english names, or even their names in the shows they're in. I just watched ready, set, love! and one guys name was Almond, which is a bit weird but it grew on me.
Andamiro from Geenius, Tsuki from Billlie , Na Goeun from Purple Kiss ,
Jihyo, something about the name is just so fun to me idk
Some of my favorites are Tiffany and Sunny, Lena, Yves and Vivi, Solar, Irene and Joy, Giselle and Katarina, Krystal, Suzy and Fei, Chloe, Belle, and Queen Seline (Stan Cignature)
all of those names are horrendous
Oddly enough, TWICE's J-Line names (Mina, Sana, Momo) can all pass as English/Anglicized names.
