Talk about people's names.

Every man, woman, and child has a name. And every name has its own precious story and meaning. In the past, a lot of people had the same name. During my school days, there were sometimes kids with the same name in a single class. But names have become diversified nowadays, and usually there is no overlap.

Some names are so pretty or out of the ordinary that they get stuck in your memory. You have to tiptoe around some names because they can be mistaken for a different meaning. A man may have a feminine name, and vice versa. Different names are in fashion for boys and girls, depending on the generation. These days, a lot of name use pure Korean words or foreign words. Some names have more than five letters in them.

My friend got a name change.

Really? Can he do that?

Sure. It's possible. But you need to present a valid reason.

I see.

My friend changed his name on paper, but we keep calling him by his old name.

It sounds familiar, so I guess that is to be expected.
