My name is Suh (Seo) Hyun Hwang. As you know Korean names has meaning at its each letter. In my first name, 'Suh' means "realizing dreams" and 'Hyun' means "Work widely." Therefore my name Suh Hyun means "Realizing my dreams and work widely."
According to my parents, my name was from my grandmother who was from my father's side. When I was born, my parents lived with my grandmother together. She wanted to give my name by herself. My name is not that pretty but whenever I see my friend whose name is really strange and unfamiliar, I always think that my grandmother chose good one for me. Actually my friend has had a hard time because people easily teased her ugly name and made her grieved. Yet it is fortunate that she is a really active and outgoing girl, so she did not care much about what other people saying.
In personal, there are no advantages or disadvantages of my name since my name is one of the most common names in Korea. It is not fantastic or ugly name either. I rarely got teased from my friends and I do not have any bad experience but sometimes I got teased because of my last name. My last name is "Hwang" sounds the same as the animal ox in Korean. "Hwang so" is an ox. Before I came to Malaysia, some of my classmates in Korea used to call me like "hi ox, what's up?" However I never took that seriously or got hurt. We did it just for fun.

Frankly speaking, Suh Hyun is still okay to be called but I have wanted a cuter name. It is because as I said above, my name is the very common one in Korea. However I like my Korean name since it is from my grandmother who has loved me so much. She tried and thought really hard to give me a good name. On the other hand, I have an English name "Hannah." I LOVE my English name, too. My mother named me Hannah from the Bible. Hannah was a very sincere and truthful lady. She also prayed heartily and had a wonderful relationship with God. I like her character very much as well as her name.
I think I am very luck to have two names, Suh Hyuh and Hannah. I like both names. Those two names also have their own special meanings. So I thank my grandmother and my mother for giving me wonderful names. With these special names, I can feel how much they love me and that makes me so special person!

I liked your story however why do you think your name is pretty? I think your name is normal.
