About the name Nicholas in Korean
Nicholas has four beats in Korean, 니컬러스 (Ni-keol-leo-seu), and 'keol' sounds like 'kul'. The spelling 니콜라스 is also common. Many Koreans also use an English first name at school or work, so Nicholas can stay as the daily English name while a Korean name is used at home. 민규 (敏圭, Min-gyu) is a close fit for the first half: an n/m opening and a k/g sound next. 'Quick and noble' is crisp and a little formal. 이규 (怡圭, I-gyu) keeps the leading front vowel, and 'joyful nobility' is the warmest of the three. 승우 (勝宇, Seung-u) was chosen partly for meaning. Nicholas means 'victory of the people', and 勝 means victory. The 'seu' of 승 also echoes the ending 스, so it is the boldest and most spirited option.
