> named after someone who turned out to be somewhat less than wholesome South Korea here. Lots of Koreans (both South and North) are named Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, or Kim Jong Un. The fact that 20% of Koreans have the surname Kim exacerbates the problem. Of course, Il Sung and Jong Il went into a sharp decline in South Korea as soon as people found out that they were seriously inauspicious names. But nobody had time to prepare for Jong Un's rise to power. Moreover, Jong Un is a relatively common name for girls ;)
