Is it necessary to make English name?
Hi.
My name is Dong-Kyo, Seo and from South Korea.
Korean expression is 서동교.(actually dong-gyo, but due to problem of passport, I could not change)
After studying via italki, my name is pronounced by foreign teachers and friends.
They seem difficult to pronounce my name, Dong-Kyo.
So, I searched English name making web site and found "Dave"
I don't know the feeling of Dave,,, How about it?
If it is not good,, I thought about some names,,for example
1) Tiger forest
2) Just Beer
3) Malcom Y
4) Eric banana
5) Emma what
Are they strange?
Is it really necessary to make English name?
Search from various English teachers...

Is it necessary to have an English name?
Hi.
My name is Dong-Kyo, Seo and I am from South Korea.
My Korean name is 서동교.(that is actually Dong-Gyo, but due to the problem of my passport[1], I could not change it)
After studying via italki, my name has been pronounced by foreign teachers and friends.
They seem to find it difficult to pronounce my name, Dong-Kyo.
So, I searched on an English name making web site and found "Dave"
I don't know the feeling of Dave,,,[2] How about it?
If it is not good,, I thought about some other names,, for example
1) Tiger forest
2) Just Beer
3) Malcom Y
4) Eric banana
5) Emma what

For me - red is for errors, and green is for more natural language.
[1] Assuming this is correct, it might be clearer to say something like 'due to that being what is in my passport'...
[2] I have seen other Korean people repeating punctuation - that's not very common in English.
No - I don't think it is important to have an English name, in fact I think it is rather odd that people want them. Yes, those names are very strange, particularly Emma, which is a girls name. And Dave is very common, so maybe a little boring?

I am with Lizzy and Kim. You don't have to have an English name, but if you choose to have one, I think David would work. Or Eric!

I agree, with The Bee, you definitely don't need to have an English name. But, if you want to use one, I like Dave! :p Hehe, where I'm from we joke that "everyone knows a Dave" because a very common name. Also, all the guys I've known called Dave were really nice... maybe it's a magical name :p

Dave is a good name! Or maybe David?
I had a lot of foreign exchange students at my school from China who went by an American name!
The examples are a little strange...usually first and last names are like "John Smith" "Luke Daniels" "Cole Edwards"
the first and last names are not of other objects generally.

Dave sounds good to me, the name list is too strange, as an English learner, you do not need a weird name, you need a name that is easy for foreigners to remember. It is necessary, we all need a name.
