About the name Lily in Korean
Lily looks simple, yet its first letter needs a decision, because Korean avoids a word-initial 'l' and a leading 'Li' often becomes 유 or 이. 릴리 (Ril-li) is written with ㄹ, and Korean 'r' and 'l' share one flapped sound. 유리 (Yu-ri) keeps both the soft opening and the closing 'ri', and 'a clear gem' is its cool, clean meaning. 나리 (Na-ri) is also the native Korean word for lily, so the flower is built in; it is the warmest and most literal choice, with 娜 and 梨 added for the written name. 하리 (Ha-ri) shares the 'ri' with a light, airy opening, 'a summer pear blossom', and it is the brightest. In Korea the family name comes first, so a full name reads Choi Na-ri. Most surnames have one syllable and given names usually have two.
