About the name Richard in Korean
Richard begins with a sound that Korean moves out of the way. The leading 'r' is softened, so 리처드 (Ri-cheo-deu) can be matched by names that begin with a vowel. 이찬 (怡燦, I-chan) turns 'Ri-' into 이 (i) and follows with a ch-sound, and 'joyful brilliance' is bright and happy. 찬우 (燦宇, Chan-u) shares the ch-sound that opens the second beat, and 'brilliance under the sky' is open and clear. 용준 (勇俊, Yong-jun) is chosen for meaning, since Richard means 'brave ruler' and 勇 means brave, giving 'brave and outstanding'. The sound link is weak, but it is the strongest of the three. Many Koreans also use an English first name at school or work, so Richard could remain the everyday English name, with the Korean name kept for family and official papers.
