I've always like the name: Tasha

I've always liked the names Isabelle and Rebecca. For names that start with T, i dunno, Trixie, Tanya, Tabitha, Tammy, and I liked the ones you came up with. Or you could look up what English names mean the same as your original Korean name. Good luck:)

Do you like Teri? is an abreviation of Theresa...

If your Korean name means shine, Sheena may work. That one isn't very common here in the states.

I like your Korean name, but if you must change it...how about Theressa?

I checked up with i village website and there is a unique girl's name I came across which means glory and brilliance.

Thorberta, a 3-syllable girl's name of Norse/Teutonic origin, means: Brilliance; Thors glory. But then again, you might not like this name since its too exotic.

While Trisha, a 2-syllable girl's name of Latin origin, means: Of noble birth.

Last unique name I found is Thalia, a 3-syllable girl's name of Greek origin, means: Blooming; to flourish; of comedy

How 'bout......Tink, Tia, Tori, Trista,Tansy, Taryn, Tawny, Taylor, Terry....

If you want an English name, go with the one you have chosen -- Trisha or Trish are quite nice. Or, you could keep your Korean name and just shorten it to Young. That would help your friends with their pronunciation and keep you true to your family. Good luck, m'lady!!

Why not honor your heritage? If you feel that your name is too long, use another one with a beautiful meaning that is easier to pronounce?? Maybe the name of someone you honor greatly such as an ancestoral name or that of a teacher you admire?

Go to this website, they have tons of "T" girl names and the meaning!!!

Why would you want to change your name? Your given name is awesome. It is obviously different and uncommon here in the U.S. and it will definitely make people remember you! My ethnicity is Chinese and I have wished many times that I had been given a Chinese name.

you could always go with something closer to your own culture: ÑÓ™ÑƒÐ»Ðµ (Saulye) is an Altaic name meaning shine. still I guess there'd be pronounciation difficulties there too unless it gets turned to Sally but then what's the point?
Western names all have a meaning to them as well but most are unaware of the meaning unless it's obvious like gloria which is old fashioned. What about Raya that's not at all old fashioned and still maintains the meaning.
Try something easily shortened, for gloria you can have Lori as well as various spin offs.
If your stuck on T stick to short names like Tash Trish Tammy Tess
But seriously stick to your own name if you can. If someone can't pronounce Younghwa there's something wrong with them. (True it probably does sound horrid in an American accent). All the Koreans that come over to Australia and a large amount that are born here use their Korean name. All the Koreans from california I've met use western names though, seems kinda wierd, maybe it's time california got with the times.
But yeah I'd go for Raya if you did want a western name.

You are Younghwa, and its a beautiful name. Respect yourself and your parent who gave you your name... but that's my opinion.

Vash

Maybe Tonia or Tara would suit you?

Bethany

Tammy, Terri, Tasha ... why don't you find a nice short Korean word beginning with T and adapt it. B

Tara, Tabitha, Talia, Tamara, Tessa, Tasha, Trixie, Tanya, Taylor, Tatiana, Trini, Tristan, Tyra

Well, I actualy like your Korean name, but if you are going to go with a western name, then go with Trish or Trisha... I married a Trish and we've been together for 21 years this summer, so I'm a little biased. ;)

And welcome to the US when you get here! I've been to CA pleanty of times and will eventually retire out there. Hate the occasional quake, but the majority of the people and the weather are GREAT!
