Daring parents in the U.S. have a difficult time picking truly unique names. Looking into other cultures and countries is a great way to find amazing names. Korean names have amazing definitions and wonderful sounds. Korean names often have two words to them, which expand the definitions. Take a look at these Korean names, perhaps one might make it on you list of options.
(1) Bae: (male) Meaning inspiration, Bae is a lovely and simple choice for your baby boy. I feel that it could also work for little girls in the U.S.
(2) Jin: (both) Jin means truth and has a great sound and feel to it. Like many Korean names, there are other options.
Other options: Jin Ae (truth and treasure), Jin Kyong (truth and treasure)
(3) Hyun: (male) Looking for a name for your little boy can be so difficult. Hyun is a great name and means wise.
Other options: Hyun Jung (wise and righteous), Hyun Ki (wise and energy),
(4) Eun: (female) Eun means grace. It’s definitely short and simple, but also, like the definition has an effortless grace to it.
Other options: Eun Ae (grace with love), Eun Hee (grace and pleasure), Eun Mi (grace and beautiful), Eun Sun (grace and good)
(5) Kwan: (male) Meaning strong, Kwan is an awesome choice for your little one. It has a dynamic energy to it.
(6) Hana: (female) With the popularity of Hannah, Hana is a great alternative to consider for your little girl! I love the shorter spelling.
(7) Jae: (both) Jae is a simple name by itself and means respect. There are a few variations to choose from, though I really like Jae by itself as well.
Other options: Jae Hwa (respect and beauty), Jae Sun (respect and good)
(8) Mi: (female) Beauty is a wonderful definition for your little girl, and Mi is an adorable name. It also has wonderful combination names.
Other options: Mi Hi (beauty and joy), Mi Sun (beauty and goodness), Mi Young (eternal and beautiful)
(9) Sun: (female) Sun means goodness and is a great Korean choice for the U.S. It’s easy to spell and has a great definition to it as well.
(10) Min: (both) Min means brightness and is great for a little boy or a little girl. There are also many name combination options.
Other options: Min Hee (brightness and pleasure), Min Jee (brightness and wisdom), Min Jung (bright and noble), Min Ki (brightness and energy)
