How to Create Korean Names

 ※ How to Create Korean Names 

A good name is generally easy to pronounce and carries a suitable meaning. Additionally, Korean names should be crafted in accordance with the Eastern Five Elements. 

The Five Elements consist of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements both support and counterbalance each other. When naming, it is important to consider both the supportive and counterbalancing relationships of the Five Elements. Especially, analyzing one's birthdate to identify the deficient or excessive energy and using the corresponding elements to balance it in the name is crucial. 

※ Supportive and Counterbalancing Relationships of the Five Elements: 

Supportive: Wood supports fire, fire supports earth, earth supports metal), metal supports water, water supports wood.

Counterbalancing: Wood counters earth, earth counters water, water counters fire, fire counters metal, metal counters wood.

For example, a person who lacks 'earth' and 'metal' energy like 'earth' and 'metal' would have a good name like 'Young su' where 'earth' and 'metal' mutually support each other. 

For someone born on July 13, 1988, at 12:30 PM, if 'fire' and 'earth' energy like 'fire' and 'earth' are too strong, it would be good to create a name by incorporating 'metal' and 'water' to balance and neutralize this energy. 

 

For example, names like Jumi (for girls) and Jeongmin (for boys) are considered good. 

※In Korea, it is traditional to choose names by identifying the energy present in one's birthday.
