My son got the Hungarian middle name, but we went with a Greek first name, partly because it didn't map to our Hungarian family, but also something I thought my elderly father could pronounce, in his heavy accent.
We'd had girl names for months, but didn't settle on the boy name option until the night he was born.
This was a good while ago, but this discussion brought back the particulars of finding a good name.
- stergios 6y agoThe intersection of Greek and Korean names was the empty set! We went with Greek first name, Korean middle name, and Greek last name. For the first names, we made sure there are reasonable English renderings of the Greek, which unfortunately excluded my parent's names, and my name as well. The Korean middle names reference celestial/heavenly items as well as being popular Korean entertainment figures, and have a nice word play together in English. Talk about threading the needle!
