Jae or Sam?

[MrandMrsW2005]

Thanks much

Jay is different name. Not same as Jae.

Thanks much

Sam.

How are you pronouncing Jae? Is it to rhyme with "tie"?

Is it pronounced Jie then?

No

Of to rhyme with sea
gee?

Can you explain how you would pronounce Jae?

How it pronounced? It's hard to say of it's a nice name without knowing how it sounds!

Well then it's not a different name

Sam. WTF is Jae? It's awful.

If the child is named 'Jae' nobody ever would think to spell it that way. He would be forever 'Jay' until people were corrected.

It is different name. They said same I think. Different names as don't use Jay where from. Sorry hard to explain.

Are you Korean? Jae is fine. Lots of them around our area.

Sam

Yes Korean

Sam.

Then use Jae. MN is full of little Englanders who have a fit of the vapours at a forrin name.

Hopefully you move in less racist circles in RL.

Calm down onhold

If OP had said she was Korean in her first post, then nobody would have batted an eyelid.

I read Jae as an alternative way of spelling Jay. Is that alright by you Onhold or do you have anymore conclusions to jump to?

I don't jump to the conclusion that every poster on MN is a nice MC British person.

Unlike some...

Jae. There are four Sams in DS1's class and two in DS2's class. Funnily enough these two have the same surname too- very confusing!

Sam

Since it's a British website it's actually a pretty fair assumption to make that it might be...it doesn't make people racist for not immediately thinking "that's a Korean name"

There would be no such thread as this if we were all afraid to voice our opinion in case it's a foreign name

Use a Korean name if you're Korean .
