Rose. 4,207 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Maybe they can have English names if they promote in the US? But their names are as Asian as it gets (with the exception of Kyla) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolalala 1,782 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Roa/Rena/Yehana don't sound western at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Bell 567 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I was thinking that Rena and Kyla sounded Western. Yehana reminds me of the German name Johanna (Yohana) But generally, I think they just look unique to most Korean names I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhAS 506 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Greek Meaning: The name Rena is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name Rena is:Peaceful. American Meaning:The name Rena is an American baby name. In American the meaning of the name Rena is: Peaceful. If they pronounced it that way, sure, but they don't. So it's not. The Greek Rena which you referenced, ΡÎνα, is pronounced Réna The American baby name for Rena is pronounced REE-nah Meanwhile Rena already has hangul fof her name written as ë ˆë‚˜ and pronounced as Lena. they just switched the front of the Romanized version to distinguish it, just like they did with Siyeon into Xiyeon. Yehana and Roa are hardly western names, I think you'll be hard pressed to find any women in the west bearing those names. So no, 1 out of 10 does not qualify as 'many,' and seeing as that Kyla is an American and that's her name, what are you even on about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
