Following on from my other thread I've amended my name choices.
I'd appreciate help/advice on which is nicest.
Middle name would be Jean (named for my nana I can't compromise on this).
I'm half Korean so have picked some Korean names too this time as well. I could add the Korean name as another middle name after my nanas though:
Bae
Chin-Sun
Minji
Moon
So-Ok
Sailor
Ember
Cherry
Magnolia
Bronte
Sage
Venus
Yes I've ditched Apricot & taken on board some of the advice you ladies have given me I appreciate it x

Ember has a nice sound but I wouldn’t use it because of the meaning around a dying fire, flame gone out etc.

PLEASE DONT NAME YOUR BABY MINJI!!

Apricot Jean come back - all is forgiven!! 😂 😂 😂

I would avoid Bae as I’ve heard it means poo in Danish.

Sailor is nice. So is Ember

Chin-Sun or Magnolia would be nice

Sook is slang in Australia for someone sulking.
“Don’t be a sook”.

You CANNOT name your baby Minji. That doesn’t work in British slang. Not at all!

Spaghetti0h · 11/03/2022 15:59

Thank you ladies I'm having a really hard time deciding! My boyfriend is leaving the choice completely up to me x

I like Cherry and Sage. I don't know if Bae is a Korean name but its come to mean slang for boyfriend/girlfriend in recent years so I wouldn't use it for that reason.
Yes sorry here are the Korean meanings: Bae - inspiration Chin-Sun - truth & goodness Minji - smart Moon - Smart So-Ok - pure

FWIW I like Sailor. I used to love the animated series Sailor Moon.
