Comparing OLD names between KOREA, US, & JAPAN 

숙자와 같은 이름에서 ‘자’는 ‘아들 자’를 사용하는데 이것은 일본에서 ‘코’로 발음됩니다. 과거 일본이름을 사용하시던 분들이 해방 후 쓰던이름을 한국식으로 발음하여 사용하게된 것이라 합니다.

한국 여자이름중에 ~자가 ㄹㅇ 대표하는 옛날이름인데 이게 안나오네ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 말자 정자 숙자ㅋㅋㅋ 예시로 중간중간 나오긴했는데ㅋㅋㅋ 화 보다는 ~자 가 ㄹㅇ 옛날이름중에 대중적이고 느낌팍오는듯

오빠 옷 ㅋㅋ

제 친구가 있는데 어머니 아버지가 둘다 밝은 금발이라 . 심지어 모든 형제가 다아침에 태어나서.. 이름이 아폴로, 테오도르, 헬리오.. 모두 빛이라는 뜻이래요.. 처음 들었을데 멋있엇어요..

데이브 채널 피드에 뜬거 개오랜만 몇년만인듯...심지어 구독 채널인뎈ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 에리나랑 케미 여전하네요

미국 옛날 이름 왜이렇게 익숙한가 했더니 게임 스타듀밸리에 나오는 NPC들 이름이 거의 다 올드한 이름이었네요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

사실 우리나라 옛 이름들중에 “자”가 들어가는게 (ex: 영자 숙자 미자)가 일제시대때 “코”에 해당하는 ‘아들 자’에서 왔다는 이야기가 있어요 🥲

근데 일본어 '코'는 지금도 많이 쓰이는 듯...일본인 친구 있는데 걔도 코로 끝나고 걔 친구도 코로 끝나고 걔 가족도 코로 끝남..그냥 아무 한자나 하나 잡고 거따가 '코'붙여보면 다 있는이름이더라 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Women: Evangeline, Bertha, Gertrude, Hattie, Wilma Men: Reginald, Bartholomew, Howard, Milton

I burst out laughing way too loud when you said "Doris and Dorothy sound like they bake muffins" 😭😭😭😭😭 but i love old american names... they're just, beautiful. I personally love Theodore and Martha ♡

Harvey and Eleanor are still common in England among the younger generation. I'm 23 and I knew a Harvey my age and I know multiple Eleanors around my age.

My grandma lived in Korea during the Japanese Occupation! Her korean name was Hyung-Sook and her Japanese name was Michiko. Lol she immigrated to the US, but didn’t change her name to an American one. It would have been sweet if she chose Matilda. 😭❤️🥰😍 love you granny!

10:34 와... 진짜 미국인이 하니까 개멋지다....

In Malaysia older female names are like flower names: Melur, Bunga, Ros, Melati. But Jasmin is still common to this day. Also any name that only has one word is also kind of old school too.

I would say that Harvey is still quite a common name in England, I’ve known a few Harveys over my 18 years of existence

일본의 ~코 할때 한자가 ‘子’ 아들 자 를사용하는데 이건 과거 일제강점기의 영향을 받아 연세가 있으신 한국 여성들중에도 흔하다. 예를 들면 숙자 영자 혜자 등등

옷은 왜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In the Philippines, for males, anything that ends with *do sounds SUPER old e.g. Fernando, Edgardo, Rolando etc. For females, anything that ends with *ta sounds old like Anita, Clarita etc. Using Maria as first name is also super old like Maria Cristina, Maria Clara, Maria Elena etc. --- Special mention... THE ACRONYMS!! Anyone who names their child "Luzviminda" is SUPER old, it's an acronym for three major islands in the Philippines: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Dave in maid dress is like fever dream Best waifu indeed

옛스러운이름중 여자는 ~자 로끝나는이름이 제일많을거예요. 숙자 영자는 기본! 좀 특이한경우로 울엄마 친구분 성함은 끝자임...

in italy any name that starts with “pier” or “gian” for men sounds old, while for women it’s more compound names that have “maria” in them (like anna-maria)

I want to hear more of kevin's old person impression, that sounds like a fun topic. "how do old people sound like in your culture?" then again the representatives have to be good impressionists or something huh?

형은 저만의 마틸다입니다

In Indonesia, most of name begin with "Su" is old name, like Susanto, Suyanto, Susanti, Sulastri. It still used until nowadays but as last name. Indonesian modern name mostly taken from arabic, english, and etc.

10:24 츠야코 히라가나 표기에 츠야코(つやこ)가 아니고 사치코(さちこ)로 되어있네여;; 자막 실수인가😅

i love Kevin's old man voice so much hahahaha. it's so on point. can we have like 10 minutes of Kevin talking like an old Korean geezer

춘, 숙, 점 이 셋은 요즘에는 아예 안쓰는 완전 옛날 이름ㅋㅋㅋ

Addison, Matilda, Theodore and Gus are all still used in my experience. They’re those old names that are come back every once in a while. I feel like it happens a lot where names are really out of fashion and then come back every 2-4 generations.

옛날 여성분들의 이름중에 끝의 자( 子)는 일본의 ~코( 子)와 같은 한자를 씁니다. 일본식 이름의 잔재이지요.

Lol my name is Insook (인숙), my sister’s name is Susanna and my mom’s name is Katsuko (勝子) so we got the trifecta of old names according to this video

한국인케빈...제대로 모르네 여자이름의 진짜 옛날식이름은 자가 들어가는거지...숙자 영자 말자 미자 순자 등등...아끼꼬(명자) 에이꼬(영자)처럼 일본강제치하의 영향으로 지어진 일본식 이름

2:00 코는 子고, 한국에서 숙자 미자 등등의 이름은 일제 강점기에서 유래했습니다.

나라별 발음차이 같은거 좋아했는데 최근에 또 하니까 기쁘네요

So in Korea, if you are "Young", that actually makes you old? I'll see myself off the stage now...

1:15 형이 왜 거기서 나와...?

1:16 뭐야 여기 팬치없어...?? 댓글에 언급이 없네..

Bruh, Dave I know you're not that good at Japanese, but..... You will get it someday! Just some corrections Humiko = Fumiko, Chuyako = Tsuyako, also the Hiragana for Tsuyako is not さちこ which means Sachiko, the correct Hiragana is つやこ. Lastly Kiku means chrysanthemum not the actual word for flower. But thanks for the fun Video!!!

In Spain for old female names we use: maria del carmen, ascención, francisca, concepción, margarita, eugenia... And for male: jose maria, francisco, antonio, juan josé, jacinto...

Why is Dave wearing a maid dress LOLOLOLOLOL Edit: JESUS CHRIST, MAN. That is a lot of likes. God, just calm down.

아닠ㅋㅋㅋ 외국인들도 꽤 많이 보는데 왁굳이 나오니까 개웃기네ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11:46 Dave really missed the opportunity to bring up Sasuke, huh? That's odd.

A name that sounds old: Herbert and Susan. I can already imagine old people playing bingo

The fact that Dave is casually wearing a maid dress is my favorite part of the video LOL

I was so shocked when you said Addison, I always thought that was a pretty modern name. I know tons of young Addisons in the southern US.

In the Philippines, old boys names are ending in “O” like Wilfredo, Rolando, Sabino, Arsenio, Lamberto etc. While girls are ending in “A” like Modesta, Teofila, Pelagia, Sebastiana, Isabelita, Fidela etc.

In Chinese language it is quite similar to both Korean and Japanese. Generally words with plum (梅 / 매), fragrance (香 / 향), jade (玉 / 옥) are for older women.

English : susannah Malaysia : suzana Some of the real old names in malaysia that i could list here - salmah (살마 or 살맣) - abdul (아브돌) - marican (마리칸) - aishah (아이샤) - aminah (아미나) Ps : believe it or not these are all my family names. Starting from my grandma, my uncle, my grandpa, my mom and lastly my sister. Im the only one having kinda cool & rare name lol. ㅋㅋㅋ

Your channel is so fun! I just got a RU-vid recommend and I really needed a good laugh! Our family is full of old fashioned names like Louis and Henry. We also have Kathryn and Margaret, Amelia and Felicia. It’s becoming popular again to name your children after relatives from generations past. It’s interesting to hear what are considered old school names in other countries!

In the Philippines, Spanish first names are considered very old. The Old American names that Dave mentioned are also quite common among Baby Boomers here. From Gen X to Gen Z, almost everyone just goes for cringey English First names. lol Everybody's baby nowadays is named "Skye" I can't-

7:18 싸해졌을때 케브님이 적당히 끊어주는거 왜케웃겨요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ내웃음지뢰

In Indonesia, an Indonesian based name already sounds old because kids nowadays named from other languages like Arabic or English

Can confirm: my grandmother Dorothy always had fresh muffins or cookies for us.

또 옛날 이름 뭐 있어요~?? What are some old names in your country?

5:12 벛꽃 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 근데 귀칼에 로(사내 랑) 로 끝나는 사람 많은데 역시 다 옛날 사람이었나보당,..

Lol! spot on with the images of Doris and Dorothy😂 Agnes to me doesn’t feel thaaat old though.. it’s more like a name popular among the aunties😂 old fashioned chinese names are similar to the korean ones though.. maybe because those names were hanja? 🤔 nowadays ppl don’t really name their babies with 淑(숙) 玉(욱) 美(미) 英/榮(영) 吉(길) 香(향) 福(북).. some other old fashioned chinese names are like 娣 發 成 春 興 金 蓮 秀

한국의 예전 이름중에 자(子)를 많이 쓴 이유가 창씨개명때 이름을 정할때 가장 보편적인 일본이름으로 하니 자를 썼고 그래서 예전이름에 일본은 코(子), 한국은 자(子)가 들어갑니다.36년 뒤 해방이후 다시 한국식 이름으로 바꿀때 썼던 한자를 그대로 한국어로 옮겨 썼습니다. 그래서 한국과 일본은 子를 예전이름에선 많이 쓰게 되었습니다.이런 경우 말고도 쓰인 경우도 많았습니다.In Korea, the letter of the old name was repeated 'ja'. In the Japanese colonial period, Koreans had to change to the Japanese name. Then they wrote the most common letters. It was 'co'. 36 years later,Korea were independent and changed it back to Korean name. But they received only the Chinese letters, so Japan and Korea used the same last letter in the past.Even if the name is unconditioned, it was used.

Pure Indonesian names sounds really old to us now. Budi, Adi, Hendro, Bambang, etc. Indonesian nowadays usually mix their name with english or arabic so when we heard someone with pure indonesian names, we automatically assume that they’re an old person

In Korean and Japanese name -Ko and -Ja is same thing, as I learned. During the Japanese occupation, -Ja in name became popular because of Soshi kaimei.

From the Philippines! Just think of lengthy Spanish names Women: Conchita, Marguerita, Bernadette or Leticia and typically there's a Maria/Marie(more modern) either as the first or second name so Maria Conchita / Marguerita Marie Men: Francisco, Eduardo , Salvador , Santorino, Benjamin (the J makes an H sound so it's BenHAmin)

하비 반스 하비 엘리엇 .. 영국에선 하비란 이름 꽤 있을 것 같은데 미국에선 올드한 이름인게 신기하네요ㅎ

Interestingly, my folks' names and my own Japanese names have a lot of the old-school characteristics that Erina mentioned. My mom, from Tokyo, is named 愛子 (Aiko), which is a super traditional girl's name meaning "Child of love." My dad, from Okinawa, is 貞夫 (Sadao), an also traditional boy's name meaning "Honest man." When I was born in L.A., he bequeathed me the 貞 (sada) part of his name and prefixed it with one of old kanjis Erina brought up, 清 (kiyo), to form 清貞 (Kiyosada), which I hear from my Japanese friends sounds like an old samurai name. Weirdly, he liked the actor Kirk Douglas when I was born, so he gave me the first name of Kirk in English, which is impossible to pronounce in Japanese. The closest is カーク (Kaaku), which I still find hilarious to this day. I dare you to ask Erina to pronounce it 😋 Thanks for the fun vid!

에리나님 영어발음 따라하는거 너무 귀여워ㅋㅋ

'Bob' is a nickname for 'Robert'. Though I'm sure they exist, I've never met a Bob whose legal first name was Bob. That nickname is pretty old school though. All of the young Roberts I've ever met use their full name or Rob, but I know many Bobs as well. Heck, I work with three (two Bobs, one Bobby). Theodore, Addison, and Eleanor are ones I'd say are actually very popular with young people nowadays.

Maybe it's because I'm an old millennial, but Korean-American girl names sound so old-fashioned now: Grace, Esther, Eunice, etc. I'm assuming 은, 유, and 윤 were common in the mid-80s for girls? I knew so many Korean girls named Grace whose Korean name was also 은혜 lol

I think all country have that one name everyone knows and feels super old, like 철수 in korea or budi in indonesia (mainly because the name is so overused in language textbooks)

보는 내내 조마조마하면서 봤네... ㅋㅋ 혹시나 나올까봐. Andrew(Andy)도 좀 구식 이름이라 들었는데 안 나온 거 보면 아주 옛날은 아닌 듯. 재밌게 잘 봤습니다아아아~

In Russian there is a saying like "faith, hope, love" which sounds like "vera, nadezhda, lyubov" - and becaue of that it is also really popular as old girls names. Vera is coming back, nadezhda becomes Nadya which is either an old women or a bratty rich girl lol, and Lyubov is so so so so old! I swear every russian grandma had a normal name, but when they turned 60 they were given the name Lyubov, more specifically Lyuba! Is it the same in other languages? I know in English you could also name ur daughter Hope or Faith..

Names that end in -ira tend to be old girl names from Mexico, my grand grandmother is called Teodomira. Other examples are Elvira, Belmira, Palmira, Yanira, Danira, Yadira, Nayira… etc

나라 옛날 이름 이라길래 우리나라랑 일본은 옛날이름이 있는데 미국옛날이름은 뭐지 신대륙개척촌 이런건가 했음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

숙자라는 이름이 그때 되게 많았는데 그때 노씨 성을 가진 분들이 노숙자라서 놀림을 받았었다고 선생님이 알려주신 기억이 있네요ㅋㅎㅋㅎ

IDK if Judy (Judith) is considered old fashioned?Cuz I checked on the internet and saw it’s a common name around the 40’s-50’s

Here in Peru is quite the same… Male: Hernesto, Alberto, Alfonso, Simón, Víctor, Justo, Leopoldo Female: Rosa, María, Margarita, Marta, Justina, Hilda, Hortencia, Pilar, Carmen Just gives me old vibes, there is more

1:21 이건 그냥 우리쪽 영택이형인데?

I really like the idea of this video. In France you can find composed names like Jean-Pierre (Polnareff Imao), Jean-Baptiste for males and even for females like Marie-Pierre, Marie-Capucine but that's really rare, these composed names sound really old in France. Then there are simple names like Claude, Yves, Gérard, Michel for males and Dorothée Nicole Evelyne for females that you won't find among young people.

I’ll just give a list of my aunts lol… Esther, Hilda, Debbie, Laura, Glenda, Phyllis, and Joanna

I'm of korean descent and grew up abroad(well half) and there's actually quite a few kids who have some old fashioned names... especially those who's parents or grandparents immigrated before the 1990s. Like I've met a 승록, 효순, 병권, 이화 and a 순주... and they're all like kids/preteens or young adults. I honestly kind of prefer some of the old fashioned names compared to the modern ones tho haha. My own grandmother's name was 삼자 (mitsuko I think?) under occupation, but she only used it in school.

Can we have more South East Asian series? i love the last videos so much!

it is interesting that dave mentions "kakashi" because actually "kakashi" is not a given name, or common, it is "scarecrow" in japanese. naruto just has a lot of names that are not real given names, as a fictional work

In Scotland and parts of Ireland; Alexander, Agnes, Euphemia, Morag, Magdalene, Dugald, Patrick, Isobella, Margaret, Thomas, John, Robert, James, Charles and Archibald were all prolific. Although lots of these classic names are still popular now.

Here are some old Swedish names: Otto Egon Lennart Ulf (old Swedish meaning ‘wolf’) Ernst Krister Olof Knut Bertil Bernt Karl Kurt For Women: Iris (flower name) Siri (also a flower name) Inger/Ingrid Astrid Kerstin Britta Dagny Märta Margareta Gerda/Gerd Signe

02:10 코 자로 끝나는 이름 한국도 많져 미자 영자 숙자 이렇게 자로 끝나는 이름들은 그분 부모님들이 일본제국주의 내선일체 사상에 영향을 받으셔서 그런 이름을 지어준겁니다. 앞으로 자라서 일본어 이름 가졌을때도 이질감 없으라고; 이런 설명이 없으니까 컨텐츠가 20% 부족해보여요

영택아저씨 침투력 ㅋㅋ

in Iran, most of old fashioned names for women are considered to end with 'eh' , example: Tahereh, Sedigheh, Sakineh, Maliheh, Rahimeh. you can simply turn these names into old fashioned MEN names by omitting the 'eh' at the end.

Eleanor and other variations have made a comeback! A lot of the traditional older ones are and I love it! 😊

Unrelated, but it's so good to see Kevin again (outside of hearing him troll/laugh offscreen lmao) Some of my favorite old-fashioned names are from old Hollywood celebrities. Ava/Eva, Rita, Clark, Francis, Greta, Lucille, Margot/Margaux, Marlene, Dolores. I also like the names Reina/Reyna and Gertrudis in Spanish. Naturally bc they pull off their own names so well, there's something classy about them even if they're grandparent-sounding now. Some historically biblical names are my favorite too, like Christopher, John, or James. Yes they're still common, but not as hardcore as running into someone named Zeke (Zechariah), Obadiah, Jedidiah, etc. 😜

Here's my list of names that I've listened to and feel old. (For me) Male: Anderson Abraham Maxwell Richard Liam Archibald Frederick Otto Norman and then everything that ends in bert, for example: Lambert Mombert Guntbert ...... and more Female: Annabella Alba Felicity Charlotte Crystobell Cassandra Natasha Skylar And many other names but I'm lazy to write.

Oh this was so interesting! I'd love to know what the trends are currently and what are common names in these countries now!

1:15 형이 거기서 나온다고...? 6:49 ㅋㅋㅋ형 자주 나오네

데이브님 최근에 보기 시작해서 영상챙겨 보고있어요 일본어,영어,한국어 발음차이라는 신박한 컨테츠가 사로잡아서요.화이팅!

유명한 김봉남 선생님은 왜 안나왔을까??? 아! 김봉남 선생님이 누구냐구여??? 유명하고 엘레강트한 폐션디자이너 앙드레 킴 선생님 입니다 ㅋㅋ

Matilda's and Eleanor's are everywhere in Australia. From women in their 20's right down to 2021 babies.

어디서 들은 카더라얘기지만 일본의 사치코 미치코의 코(子)가 우리 나라로 “자”라는 이름이라 길자 춘자 영자 같은 이름으로 일본의 영향을 받았다는 얘기를 들은 적 있어요

In my experience, Matilda is still a semi-common name in Australia. I know a few people in their 20's or younger named Matilda/Matildah. Our women's football/soccer players are called the Matildas' as well.

1:16 형이 왜 여기서?

My mom was telling me she had a friend in grade school that was named Sally. She didn’t realize until she was older like in 8th grade that Sally wasn’t her real name and that her birth name was Sukyoung 😂 When you talked about “sook” that reminded me of that story she told me.

erina: "suke is an old name" me: SASUKE????

2:13 귀멸의칼날 네즈코ㅋㅋㅋ

3:18 Harvey는 한국어로 해도 할아버지같은데 ㅋㅋㅋ

I'm from Spain and the easiest ways to tell if a name is old school is counting how many syllables it has xD usually old school names for women are pretty long and have some kind of religious aspect like Asunción, Milagros, Esperanza, Dolores, Encarna… and men pretty much the same, they always have three or more syllables like Eustaquio, Gervasio, Constantino, Rogelio. So the trick is: long name = old name

90년대 미국에서 elementary 다닐때 나이 60대 보조 선생님이 영어이름 지어줬음. Elena.
