I am looking at creating a new story and was needed quite a bit of male and female Korean names. Can I get some suggestions here? I would only ask, nay beg, no one suggest Jung Hwa.

Anyway, let the name drop begin!!!! ^_^

I normally do a Google search

I normally do a Google search on baby names country which usually provides plenty of websites to use. You could also add a date, to make it compatible with character's age, and replace baby with girl/boy.

I use this without the country for most of my character names to get the right generation.

http://blog.korea.net/?p=14738 Might help you better understand naming conventions for Koreans. I found it helpful. It's hard to list/suggest names, because of the variances in them. Even the most subtle change can turn a male name into a female name, or vice versa. Not to mention there is a growing trend for Koreans to change names, as they seek more individuality. Hope this helps. :)
