πŸ’œ About the Service

What is My K-pop Name?

+

My K-pop Name is a free online tool that generates personalized Korean names based on your birthday and your favorite K-pop idol.

Unlike random name generators, our algorithm considers:

  • Your birthday (destiny number from numerology)
  • Your favorite idol's characteristics and style
  • Traditional Korean name meanings

The result is a unique Korean name that feels personally connected to you and your idol!

Is this service free?

+

Yes, 100% free! No registration, no subscription, no hidden costs.

We support the site through advertisements. You can generate as many names as you like without any charges.

Do you save my personal information?

+

No, we don't save any personal data!

Your birthday and idol selection are processed entirely in your browser. We never send this information to any server. When you close the page, all data is gone.

We only use cookies for basic analytics and advertising. Read our Privacy Policy for more details.

βš™οΈ How It Works

How does the name generation work?

+

Our name generation uses a combination of:

  • Destiny Number: Calculated from your birthday using numerology (sum of all digits reduced to 1-9)
  • Idol Matching: Each idol has associated traits (cute, powerful, elegant, etc.) that influence name selection
  • Name Database: 500+ authentic Korean names with meanings, categorized by style

Example: If your birthday is 1995/03/15

Destiny Number = 1+9+9+5+0+3+1+5 = 33 β†’ 3+3 = 6

Your destiny number, combined with your idol's style, determines which names from our database best match you!

What is a "Chemistry Score"?

+

The Chemistry Score (e.g., "87% Chemistry") shows how well your generated name matches with your chosen idol based on:

  • Destiny number compatibility
  • Name style alignment with idol's characteristics
  • Complementary meanings

It's just for fun! A higher score doesn't make the name "better" β€” all names are carefully selected to be meaningful and beautiful.

Why do I get different names with the same birthday?

+

We add some randomness to make it more fun! While your destiny number stays the same, we have multiple names that match each profile.

This way, you can keep generating until you find a name that really resonates with you. Try clicking "Generate Again" to see different options!

πŸ‡°πŸ‡· About Korean Names

How do Korean names work?

+

Korean names typically have this structure:

μ„± (Family Name) + 이름 (Given Name)

Example: κΉ€ + νƒœν˜• = κΉ€νƒœν˜• (Kim Taehyung)

Our generator focuses on the given name (이름), which usually has 2 syllables, each with a meaning derived from Chinese characters (Hanja).

Common family names include: κΉ€ (Kim), 이 (Lee), λ°• (Park), 졜 (Choi), μ • (Jung)

What do the names mean?

+

Every name we generate comes with its meaning! Korean given names are usually based on Hanja (Chinese characters), with each character carrying a specific meaning.

Examples:

  • μ§€λ―Ό (Jimin) - εΏ— (will) + 敏 (clever) = "Clever with strong will"
  • μˆ˜μ•„ (Sua) - η§€ (excellent) + ι›… (elegant) = "Elegant and excellent"
  • ν•˜λŠ˜ (Haneul) - Pure Korean for "sky"

Can I use this name officially?

+

The names generated here are for fun and fan use! You're welcome to use them for:

  • Social media usernames
  • Fan accounts
  • Online gaming
  • Creative projects
  • Personal use among friends

However, for official/legal name changes, please consult with Korean language experts and follow your country's legal procedures.
