OKAY SINCE WE'RE IN 2030s+ MODERNIZATION HAS HAPPENED AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW TRADITIONAL NAMING RULES (unless super traditional family, which is still common in our 2010s)

BASICALLY, SURNAME COMES FIRST (e.g. Jeon, Jungkook) OFFICIALLY BUT MOST IMMIGRANTS HAVE IT CHANGED TO THE USUAL FIRST NAME-SURNAME

SOME HAVE THEIR REAL KOREAN NAME (e.g. Haneul) AS THEIR SECOND NAME AFTER THEIR NEW ENGLISH NAME (e.g. Sara Haneul)

IF YOU WANT NAME MEANINGS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LIKE PAINSTAKINGLY LOOK FOR THE SYLLABLES (i have a dictionary for that if u want it) BUT IT ONLY WORKS FOR HANJA (Chinese) BASED NAMES. SOME NAMES ARE DIRECT KOREAN TRANSLATIONS (e.g. Haneul literally means 'sky').

tldr; pick whatever names you want unless you wanna do it traditional style (there are around 4 naming styles in korean)
