About the name Jake in Korean
The English name has an 'ay' glide, and Korean keeps it: 제이크 (Je-i-keu) sounds like 'jay' with a light 'keu' at the end. The last syllable needs care, because g and k are not split in Korean the way English splits them. So a name ending in 규 (gyu) or 건 (geon) can stand for the 'k' of Jake. 재규 (才圭, Jae-gyu) is the closest fit, with 재 for 제이 and 규 for 크, and 'talent and nobility' is bright and formal at once. 지규 (智圭, Ji-gyu) has the same j-then-g shape and a lighter first vowel, and 'wisdom and nobility' is more thoughtful. 재건 (才健, Jae-geon) keeps the 재 opening, and 'talent and strength' is the most direct and sturdy of the three. Each can be called a good match.
