숙자와 같은 이름에서 ‘자’는 ‘아들 자’를 사용하는데 이것은 일본에서 ‘코’로 발음됩니다. 과거 일본이름을 사용하시던 분들이 해방 후 쓰던이름을 한국식으로 발음하여 사용하게된 것이라 합니다.

He used the Korean spelling of Japanese words. Tsu is pronounced/written as Chu(츠) and fu as hu (후). The Japanese “fu” is actually more like “hu” though if you think about the order of hiragana. “Ha, hi, hu, he, ho”

[@SP-xh3gz]

@@Mibs-Mibby although subtle there is a difference between F and H sounds in Japanese. F sounds like ファ, フィ, フ　フェ, フォ (fa, fi, fu, fe, fo) if heard side by side with H sounds like は, ひ, へ, ほ (ha, hi, he, ho) you can hear a difference. So even in written format if changing F sounds to H sounds can be confusing because it is totally different spelling/pronunciation in Japanese 😅

@@Mibs-Mibby I totally get what you mean, it makes sense when going from Korean to Japanese for Tsu (츠) and Fu (후). BUT it shouldn't be translated twice going from Japanese to Korean to English.

Naturally bc they pull off their own names so well, there's something classy about them even if they're grandparent-sounding now. Some historically biblical names are my favorite too, like Christopher, John, or James. Yes they're still common, but not as hardcore as running into someone named Zeke (Zechariah), Obadiah, Jedidiah, etc. 😜

In the Philippines, Spanish first names are considered very old. The Old American names that Dave mentioned are also quite common among Baby Boomers here. From Gen X to Gen Z, almost everyone just goes for cringey English First names. lol Everybody's baby nowadays is named "Skye" I can't-

Just think of lengthy Spanish names Women: Conchita, Marguerita, Bernadette or Leticia and typically there's a Maria/Marie(more modern) either as the first or second name so Maria Conchita / Marguerita Marie Men: Francisco, Eduardo , Salvador , Santorino, Benjamin (the J makes an H sound so it's BenHAmin)

I'm of korean descent and grew up abroad(well half) and there's actually quite a few kids who have some old fashioned names... especially those who's parents or grandparents immigrated before the 1990s. Like I've met a 승록, 효순, 병권, 이화 and a 순주... and they're all like kids/preteens or young adults. I honestly kind of prefer some of the old fashioned names compared to the modern ones tho haha.

Interestingly, my folks' names and my own Japanese names have a lot of the old-school characteristics that Erina mentioned. My mom, from Tokyo, is named 愛子 (Aiko), which is a super traditional girl's name meaning "Child of love." My dad, from Okinawa, is 貞夫 (Sadao), an also traditional boy's name meaning "Honest man." When I was born in L.A., he bequeathed me the 貞 (sada) part of his name and prefixed it with one of old kanjis Erina brought up, 清 (kiyo), to form 清貞 (Kiyosada), which I hear from my Japanese friends sounds like an old samurai name. Weirdly, he liked the actor Kirk Douglas when I was born, so he gave me the first name of Kirk in English, which is impossible to pronounce in Japanese. The closest is カーク (Kaaku), which I still find hilarious to this day. I dare you to ask Erina to pronounce it 😋 Thanks for the fun vid!

In Russian there is a saying like "faith, hope, love" which sounds like "vera, nadezhda, lyubov" - and becaue of that it is also really popular as old girls names. Vera is coming back, nadezhda becomes Nadya which is either an old women or a bratty rich girl lol, and Lyubov is so so so so old! I swear every russian grandma had a normal name, but when they turned 60 they were given the name Lyubov, more specifically Lyuba! Is it the same in other languages? I know in English you could also name ur daughter Hope or Faith..

[@gabrielaribeiro6155]

Here in Portugal the name Vera is common in my age range (20's) but I don't think it was commonplace 50 years ago. Also relating to faith, "Maria da Fé" (Mary of faith) is a name associated with older women. Hope, "Esperança", also sounds like the name of an elderly woman, and some of my friends have grandmas with this name. I can't think of any name old or new that relates to the word love, "amor".

[@123pgq]

Yes! Also names like Antonina, Galina, Nina sound a bit old to me. And there are a few names which you find all the time among middle age women yet not so much among young people, like Elena, Irina, Svetlana, Tatyana...

[@one8095]

한국의 예전 이름중에 자(子)를 많이 쓴 이유가 창씨개명때 이름을 정할때 가장 보편적인 일본이름으로 하니 자를 썼고 그래서 예전이름에 일본은 코(子), 한국은 자(子)가 들어갑니다.36년 뒤 해방이후 다시 한국식 이름으로 바꿀때 썼던 한자를 그대로 한국어로 옮겨 썼습니다. 그래서 한국과 일본은 子를 예전이름에선 많이 쓰게 되었습니다.이런 경우 말고도 쓰인 경우도 많았습니다.In Korea, the letter of the old name was repeated 'ja'. In the Japanese colonial period, Koreans had to change to the Japanese name. Then they wrote the most common letters. It was 'co'. 36 years later,Korea were independent and changed it back to Korean name. But they received only the Chinese letters, so Japan and Korea used the same last letter in the past.Even if the name is unconditioned, it was used.

'Bob' is a nickname for 'Robert'. Though I'm sure they exist, I've never met a Bob whose legal first name was Bob. That nickname is pretty old school though. All of the young Roberts I've ever met use their full name or Rob, but I know many Bobs as well. Heck, I work with three (two Bobs, one Bobby).

I'm from Spain and the easiest ways to tell if a name is old school is counting how many syllables it has xD usually old school names for women are pretty long and have some kind of religious aspect like Asunción, Milagros, Esperanza, Dolores, Encarna… and men pretty much the same, they always have three or more syllables like Eustaquio, Gervasio, Constantino, Rogelio. So the trick is: long name = old name
