I’m Chinese-Korean American about to have a boy. My husband is Indian-European American so our boy will have a European middle name and his Indian last name. We’ve decided that we want him to have a Korean or Chinese name that is easy for Americans to say. I think a Korean name that has hanja meaning would be best.
Background information: I grew up going to Busan every few years. Of all the grandchildren, I am the only one closest to my 할머니. Although my Korean is limited, I understand well verbally. Last year I brought my husband to Busan and although we were with family, there were times we were on our own where he had to depend on me to get around. Since my parents are retired, they visit Busan every year. My Korean mom did not want to name any of her children and has no interest in names and my Chinese dad prefers a Chinese based name. I want to give my child a mix of both. My husband and I intend to have our child visit Korea to see my extended family as I did at least every few years (we may also visit Taiwan every once a while for my dad’s family but although I am closer to my dad than my mom, I am much closer to my Korean extended family than my Chinese ones who live in Taiwan)
So far my husband does not like the name Joon/Jun
Thank you!!
