I'm a bit sad about this, in Mexico we had Korean classmates in elementary school and we called them their korean names, and they taught us how to say them correctly, I adored my classmate, and hope she is alright nowadays.
That’s weird…. Are you sure? Because Mexicans, at least in Mexico will pronounce a name however the hell they want, and the more you ask them to say it right the more they say it wrong. Good luck if you have a name that sounds remotely like something else, or is the ending or beginning of any other word, because that’s exactly what your nickname will be for the entirety of your life! Your name is Mila? Milanesa it is!! However here in the US absolutely most people will at least try to pronounce your name correctly!
@@Noname99903 All my life, when kids in my class have unique or hard to pronounce names, the teachers dgaf. They pronounce the name however they want, despite being corrected and this happened in the U.S. I guess it varies on the people really, not the place.
@@Noname99903😂 my parents are from Mexico and my sisters husband is named Charles. They’ve been together for years and my mom still pronounces it “Char-less”. Won’t even make an effort. My boyfriends name is Steven and my dad calls him “Estefano” even though there’s a Spanish translation! (Esteban) So I can confirm they will pronounce it however tf they want or change it to whatever they think would be funny lol
@@Noname99903 Uhh did you watch the video? Where do you think many of those expats are from? Americans might try but they punish you for it. It happens a lot in the US and I've seen personally college advisors telling a lot of Asian students to get an English name to be appealing to recruiters. Freakonomics is a very famous book about how names influences job applications in the US at least and people are prone to just not giving people a shot solely based on their names.
It's really common of you're a foreigner. I have a very foreigner Eastern European name and I have no problem having a completely different pronunciation of my name in English. It's just how it is and most foreigners don't actually care too much about it
idk i get it. especially for young kids, it’s hard to pronounce and remember. there’s probably also a lot of prejudice around it too. it would be great if people all around the world can pronounce names from different parts of the world but that’s just not always gonna be possible.

I remember in my college Native American literature class, these two Chinese exchange students introduced themselves with their English names, prob cause they were used to doing that, but the professor said that they could use their actual Chinese names, and then made an effort to pronounce it right, and they were so shocked by the gesture
Cool that you had a Native American literature class. That’s so fascinating, since so much of native history was orally passed. Cool that there’s a whole genre now and that schools are teaching it.

@@schnoz2372Thanks for the informative comment, but in eSports we have a saying “don't bite the noob”, basically, it's unrealistic to expect someone to possess even ‘basic’ knowledge about insular or niche topics, especially if it's one normies hold preconceived notions about. This, of course, only applies to those asking in good faith, which it seems like he was. I know it's not fair for you to carry the emotional burden of intergenerational trauma and also have to be welcoming to normie questions, but society as a whole has to progress, not just an elite few in their ivory towers.

I decided to use my Korean name when I got to college, in the US. And although people struggle with it sometimes, I’m incredibly glad I made that choice. My name is important to our history and people who are worth it, will make the effort to pronounce it correctly and respectfully
I always feel ashamed when i hear stories of kids having to change their name for educators. I'm a nursery teacher and i always try my best to learn the correct pronunciation and spelling of every kids name. I think that names have such a deep and personal meaning, and having to change them for someone else would make me feel like loosing a part of myself. It's sad to see educators not acknowledging this. However, it seems that you are pretty happy with your names, and that's wonderful 💕
That's not wrong at all. If you immigrate you should ajdust to the culture of the country. Not the other way around. I live in the UK and I cannot expect British people to pronounce my Polish name or surname and I wouldn't enforce it on anyone. It also would be wrong if my home country would lose it's cultural indentity (for what so many of my ancestor fought for) just to not hurt someone who willingly decided to come there.

I’m currently in a language program and one of the teacher (he teaches Italian + History of languages/culture) asked us all our full birth names and from which language and part of the world it was from so he was sure that he said the names properly. He was careful to get things like tones and the emphasis on syllables right and wrote it in the IPA on a sheet, for real, it was truly heartwarming !
This would be heaven for me as i live in an english speaking country but have an arabic name so not one person who isnt my family actually knows how to pronounce it and i stopped trying to correct people after like year 3 cuz they wouldnt understand what they were saying wrong and just be like 'oh i was saying it right then' without paying attention cuz they wanna be right so bad but no you werent right.

I was a preschool teacher for 6 years until I started working in the healthcare field and I cannot imagine a daycare/school having the audacity to ask a family to pick a different name for their child. I have had students with names I wasn’t sure how to pronounce, and I had never had a parent get upset when its their child’s first day and I ask them how to pronounce their name correctly.
Kid in my class goes by the name Joy because her Korean name is so complex. Another girl in my class is named Soon-Yeon (순연) and our teacher always embarrases her. She told me that she hates it when he screws up her name and just wants to have a regular english name and literally always says she resents her parents for not giving her one.
English speakers or generally foreigners cannot pronounce East Asian names, and vice versa. A foreigner has to get a localized name in Asia or pronounce their name with the phonology of that local language. My name is Adrian but in Asia nobody can pronounce this name. We humans tend to go for the path of least resistance, so in Korea I use 재호 Jaeho not 아드리안; in Japan, I use 毅 Takeshi not エイドリアン; in China, I use 詩翊 Shiyi/ Siyik not 阿德里安; in Kazakhstan, I use Әділет Adilet; in Quebec, I go by Adrian (pronounced /adʁiẽ/). I tried to use Adrian here in Kazakhstan, and everyone messes it up. I become Andrei or Andrew or Andran 😂😂😂 We like to fit in, not stand out. Being Asian, I already had a hard time with an Anglo name in Canada, imagine if I didn't.
Meanwhile my sister is 100% American and teachers had a hard time pronouncing her last name. Always used to laugh whenever they announced it over the loudspeaker as instead of pronouncing it as houghmaster they always pronounced it as ho-master XD
@@ayszhang Fun Facts: Adrian is of Latin origin meaning 'Son of Adria', and goes back to the ancient Etryscan people of Italy. Adria/Hadria is a town in Northern Italy on the Adriatic Coast. The name Adrianus was mist famously take by the Roman Emeror Hadrianus, aka Hadrian. Although the name has female versions, such as Adrienne or Adrienna, the form Adrian is largely unisex. The name Adrian is used in England, South France, and Germany. In Greek it means 'rich'.
은서 is literally the cutest Korean name ever 😭 I have two names, my birthname (Haya, it's an Arabic name because I'm from Aswan, Egypt) and serim, which is the name I prefer to go by!
Okay so my English name is Bailey my my boyfriend knows my Korean name, and how to pronounce it but still decides to call me “BAILEY-YAHH” it’s just kind of a joke now but I still find it hilarious! I call my boyfriend “CHRIS-YAHH”
We had a principal who learnt how to pronounce the names of all school graduates. He was also able to pronounce the names of the graduates with migration backgrounds, rare names etc.. The length or complexity of the name didn't matter, because he decided to practice it. It's a choice and I feel sorry they didn't give more effort.
This makes me feel so much better about having several names used in different scenarios, thank you :) I always felt like a bit of a weirdo for not just going strictly by a single name haha, especially because none of my names are really "standard." You saying "I love all my names" in particular is such a fresh perspective and an amazing mindset to have!
I have a similar situation. You see, the locals here fell from the short bus (I think that was the expression?) so whenever I use my Asian name I get weird looks or incredulity despite clearly looking Asian so I tend to use a different one that's phonetically closer to their bullshit but also works in English because that's easier for me.
Yeah it’s the same for me, even though I’m Swedish. People call me Kalle in Swedish and Karl in English. Weird but cool to see people from other parts of the world be in the same situation as me haha
Calm down, it's actually the opposite. When I lived in SK, all my friends who were English teachers told me about how strange they thought it was that all the kids, even the kindergarten ones, had English names. They were all told (by Koreans) that it was normal to have both a Korean name and an English name. My friends were never even told the Korean names. And I'm here now, literally 10 years later, watching this video and realizing it's not a normal thing that everyone just does, but something that is done purposely for the teachers
they chose to send her to an English school they chose to give her an English name. In their own country but somehow still somebody finds a way to take offense. classic white savior complex bs.
@@sen5295 I'm Indian and i can tell you with 100% confidence that no westerner can ever pronounce my last name correct. Hell, most people in India can't say it correctly either. Most Indian Americans can't pronounce their names properly
As a teacher I always try to pronounce my students names correctly especially my foreign students. Hearing how my students had to get American names did not sit well with me. I told them their names were beautiful and their culture was beautiful. So my asian students and my south Asian students love bringing me a taste of their culture 🙂
@@andicoco2318 When I took German in school our teacher had us pick German names to call us in class. I think in an effort to steep us in the culture as the 1st part of learning the language. It was like a big roleplay thing. I didnt mind it since it was just for school, but if it was like an actual forever name change id be a little annoyed but honestly also amused at everyone calling me Fritz LMAO. Im American btw.
Yea but you normally still kinda adopt a different pronunciation to you name depending on country. Because for me I rather they call me a similar sounding way, that fits the language flow. Then try and most of time butcher the actual nativ pronunciation. Because they will. There is a reason people have accents when learning foreign languages. Because to hear the subtle differences is really hard. So making it easier to pronounce and fit the language flow better is absolutely okay for me. But changing it to something completely different... if you like then why not, but not because others say so. Oh and we will say, that your pronunciation is correct, after you try for 5-10 times, regardless of if it's correct or not XD
The whole "we can't pronounce your name so you have to change it" has always been weird to me as a Native English speaker. Maybe it's because I speak a second language, but pronunciations aren't typically difficult if you practice enough (of course it depends on the language but for me in general). Plus, my name has my misspelled or mispronounced in so many ways to the point where sometimes I can't even recognize what the person wrote or said. And my name is of French origin. Yet I've never been told to change my name or been told to go by a nickname.
Because Latin and Germanic languages have the same phonetic sounds as English for the most part, it’s not that difficult to grasp why Asian kids have English names since hardly any of the sounds are the same. I have 2 names who gives a fuck pick the one you wanna use. When have you ever heard a native mandarin speaker pronounce an English name correctly lol
@@manfromwuhan714Thank you for explaining that. Also I'm not saying it's bad to have two different names if you've chosen to. I've just always found it weird that we've (in certain cases) told people they have to go by a nickname instead of learning how to pronounce their name since we don't do that for other names.
maybe it’s because I’m from a younger generation but I have a Korean name and have never been told to change my name or go by a nickname either. though there have been many instances where I wanted to change my name because I’ve always been socially anxious and hated when I had to correct people multiple times on how to pronounce/spell my name.
Having an English name is cool and it’s great you love it. But the reasoning “easier time pronouncing it” is objectively discriminatory. If you’re a teacher, you can learn a student’s name. Don’t tell them their name is invalid.
That’s what i was thinking, it feels a bit racist. I have a russian surname and NO ONE has ever pronounced it correctly so I’m surprised no ones forcing me to change it
I'm in America and my name is almost always mispronounced even though there's one name with a m first instead and another where you just leave out the "I". My name can be considered just barely odd but it's "parent" names are like everywhere here so yeah they're being discriminant and if easier pronunciation is what they want they should've told my parents to change it 🙄 these ignorant people I can't-
Thats some BS that schools set a name requirement so that teachers don't struggle with names.. What else do they want?? Children not to look different from each other so that they don't discriminate them?? So sad tbh
@@therebirth7 Well, as a teacher why not learn how to pronouce different names? Maybe asking the kids and the caregivers. We all try to do it and some schools require to have a more familiar name JUST not to make teachers uncomfortable? That's awful not just dumb! Doesn't make sense at all to me...
Also... Why would someone feel uncomfortable just for not knowing how to pronouce names? It's so weird to me, especially if that person is a teacher 🥲 so sad
@@nexustom5823 the reason that happens is because of lack kf expore to global names. The more we normalise exposure to different cultures the less likely racist bullying on names with occur. My area is the most diverse in my city and noone has ever bullied anyone for their first name. Only if they had a second name that's shared with a celebrity or sounded innapropriate like we had a guy with the surname cummingman - you can imagine what a class of 14 yr olds did with that
I'm German and I have a girl in my village, who was always called "Net" when she was small. It was obvious that she had foreign origins, not only by her looks but also bc no child from a 'German' family would be called "Net", since "Nett" means friendly in German and we don't call our kids by adjectives! At one point she told me that she had that name so it was easier for Germans to pronounce, so I thought her original name was something super complex. It wasn't. At all. Her name is Sunisa!
This is so true! My English name is “Bailey” and my birth name is Kim Young-ja! I sometimes wish I still used my Korean name :( it’s hard to go by two sometimes!
When I was staying in Korea, I always told my Korean friends and colleagues to tell me their birth name. I found it silly to call someone John, just because some people cannot make the effort of properly pronouncing their real names
@Kurocoon No, it actually happens in other countries too! I'm from a hispanic country, my niece studied with a chinese kid, last name Yun, who got his first name changed to Angel (in spanish is kinda pronounced like An-hel, our g sound is like the h sound in "hello", the a sound is like the a in "caught"). And there was a japanese guy at my university who moved here when he was 9, his name was Toshiro, we all called him Hiro but his spanish name was José lol. So yeah, they choose generic names here too. I've noticed that east asian immigrants care about assimilation and trying to fit in their new home so their kids aren't bullied or mocked, maybe that's why they choose common names in that country. I still agree with you and believe it's a shame they have to give up their name, which is part of their culture and a mark from the place they came from, for such regular names. I was in shock when I heard a teacher calling Hiro by "José", I thought how awful it had to felt to change your beautiful ethnic name to fit another's country's standards. That belief of "they came here so they have to get used to our rules not us to theirs" is selfish, we all could use a little of companionship and collectivism and try to learn how to properly pronounce another person's name.
As an Arab girl who lived in America for 5 years I got this question a lot “your name is a bit hard to pronounce.. do you have an American name?” NO I DON’T! Why do I have to erase my identity and change it to fit to your culture? just because you don’t want to make any effort to learn my name?? I didn’t have a problem at all with people who mispronounce my name, in fact it is normal as I have a foreigner name, but at least don’t ask me to change it completely, try to understand that we had to learn how to pronounce your foreigner names and we didn’t complain, do the same cz you’re not the only people living in this world, and of course.. not the center of it too.
Yeah, as an American, Americans are terribly self centered and self important, and I think a lot of it has to do with how a lot of kids were raised here. Also people in America really tend to dehumanize those who are different than they are. Looking throughout history, times where people were FORCED to conform in spite of their culture, it doesn't really end in a nice way ever. I wish people would be more understanding of others culture but unfortunately I think fear controls a lot of their thinking too
Yeah, I dont get it. I've met many eurpoean american people with strange names and I still do my best to figure it out (or apologize for my struggle and ask if they have a nickname I could use) but usually if I'm going to be around them a lot, I'll figure it out eventually. I had a coworker named Saorsa. I definitely pronounced that wrong for the longest time before someone corrected me... point being, I'm not going to be hella rude to someone about their name with my excuse being their ethnicity. That's just wrong.
@Lillian Lol most of amercian when travel to other countries didn't bother to hire a guide, and expect people to speak english. They're so self centered. They didn't have manner, and thought that the world should fit on to them. That's why in most country, mostly asian like japan, some place didn't accept foreigner especially white, all thanks to american

Yes and Norway is rapidly digressing into a shithole country thanks to this awesome "we have to bow to everyone's wishes!" mentality. If you want to live in Norway with Norwegian people, get used to a Norwegian name. THEN you can ask people to make an effort to learn your foreign name.

As a korean, i used to be very self conscious whenever it was beginning of a new semester and classmates started to judge my name just because it was diff from theirs and teachers always pronounced it wrong. So i started using english name and that way I felt more socially inclusive among the pairs. This period was when I was a middle school kiddo and was very sensitive about what others were thinking about me, that oneday as I was casually replying with my nickname i went by at that school someone just kept asking for my actual name and I was very offended by it. She did say at the end she would prefer to call by my original name cuz that’s how it should’ve been called. I ended up insisting her to call by my english name and never spoke to her again lmfao. Now I actually don’t care whichever name people would call me by, but if the same situation happened I would still get offended as the preferring and decision of what people should call me by is totally on me and not the person calling. Whether it was a “good intention” or not. Just sharing a lil story of me so people who’s saying “oh I don’t get it” can actually recollect their brain that’s been buried for their lifetime and do what’s called thinking.
besides it obviously beinn your choice what you want to be called, I also think the insisting on what your 'real name' is (presumingly because of your appearance?) is extremely rude if not racist.
I only have one name, my Korean name and ppl have a hard time pronouncing it but.. I've realized these days more and more ppl are nailing it 😳 I think the influence Korea has with kdramas, kpop, and Netflix are really showing
The insanity of being required a "western" name just for immigrants' palettes, who are guests in YOUR country 🤯 But you should rightly be proud of all your names, and Miss Tina is a massive force and legend to be named after, so you can definitely be a proud Tina and keep on rollin' 😊 I wish you'd write out in English and Korean, your Korean birth given name, so that we can also learn it. Names are very interesting to me.
It's not just for the teachers - I was a teacher in china for a year and a bit. It's also because a lot of the phonetics are different - the kids we're teaching are a lot less likely to switch to primary language when they're using names for each other that use the phonetics of the language they're learning. A lot of our students chose their own name too if they were old enough - for example, I had students named Elsa and Anna after the characters from Frozen. The school had a giant book of names and often if they didn't know what they wanted, the kids would sit with the parents and choose or the parents would choose based on their personality. Honestly in the classes with kids that hadn't chosen yet, it used to be so difficult because as soon as you say a Chinese sounding thing, the kids' brains just click back into Chinese and you spend five to ten minutes getting them back into it
@@JacquelineUnderwood Thank you for sharing your experiences, for your explanation and for your point of view. I do however, respectfully disagree. A person's name is a massive part of their identity, and changing it, or being forced to change it, or not being allowed to use your birth or cultural name for various reasons, has been and still is used as an oppressive, othering and negation tactic across the world, but especially in the Global South, perpetrated by europeans and westerners onto BIPOC. I dont think non black or non brown people would understand the depth and severity of this, or maybe they can, but choose not to. Personally I'd be very ashamed to have a child call itself some random name, just for my (adult) palette's ease, while I'm a guest in their country. By the same token all visitors or guests should cha ge their name for, for example, Korean people's ease and palette, but somehow when it's that way around, it's unacceptable.
@@ts4686 I can understand your point of view, however I was asked to pick a Chinese name when I went there for paperwork and the like because my name doesn't fit on their forms. It's seen the same as a nickname - most people have a lot of things they're called by and having a nickname for a specific purpose is common in western countries too. The only difference is its in a different language. For example, a lot of people have an online or gaming nickname (I go by Kitty), a name they use for business or serious things (for me: Jack), names their friends call them, their legal name, etc. Yeah for some people these are all the same name, but for a lot of people they aren't. I agree forcing people to change their names is problematic, but the children get to choose their name usually and it's not a replacement for their name. Some choose to use it when they're older, others don't, and that's completely okay. We didn't ask our students to change their names for teachers' comfort, we asked them to pick a nickname so that we could all continue to use only English in an English classroom which is extremely important when you're teaching toddlers.
Oh stop. If I knew I could get a better education for my kid and knew koreans wouldn't be able to pronounce traditional english names that kid would be getting a Korean name asap. It's called being a smart parent.
@@ts4686 I definitely see where you're coming from, but I don't think that's the case in first world country schools. I live in an English speaking country, and every foreign language class I've ever taken has had the students choose a name or a version of their name that flows more easily in the language they're learning. It's partly not to disrupt the flow of the new language, and partly so that when you do one day interact with native speakers you have a name that is easy for them to pronounce and use.
