Parents in South Korea are ignoring traditions and choosing baby names that are easy for foreigners to pronounce, it's been reported.

According to Seoul-based newspaper Chosun Ilbo, the most popular boys' name over the last five years is Min-jun, with So-young the most popular for girls.


Six out of 10 Korean families still use professionals to find a name for their newborns

Interesting Lester... Fancy paying a professional to help choose a baby name!

Given what some people call their kids, I think they should be vetted by someone (anyone!) before they can be allowed.

I wish that Australian mothers would choose a name for their kids that can be pronounced by other Australians.

Any chance of that happening?

Or at least spell them so the poor kid doesn't get picked on at school.

Yes, I am talking to "Indyannah" (the idiot even got it tattooed on his neck), "Maffew" and "Bylynda"'s parents.
