Korean names for foreigners Hello everyone! I was wondering what was acceptable as a Korean name for a foreigner. My name is Darren which would be 대런, and the first syllable of my surname sounds like the Korean surname 안. Therefore could I call myself 안대런 when introducing myself in Korean? A lot of Koreans adopt English names when they speak English so I was wondering, how do Koreans feel about foreigners adopting Korean names when speaking and living in Korea? For example, could I change my name from 안대런 to 안대원 to have a more typical Korean name while speaking Korean or would Koreans find this strange?
