  4. Ming(girl)and Aoki(girl).The names are very popular their meanings are pretty neat to.

  5. BTW, neither of the current answers are Korean names. One is Japanese and the other one is rude.

    Korean here. I'll tell you a bit about Korean naming and then you can probably figure it out from that.

    Koreans have clans. For example, I belong to the Kim Hae (of the surname Kim) clan. Each clan has a successive amount of generations. There is a pattern to which generation gets which generational name.

    So it roughly goes:

    1. Surname (attached clan to surname).

    2. generational name. (Split male/female)

    3. given name (special to that person.)

    (Combine 2 and 3 and you get the usual two syllable names of Korea)

    In this way, if you meet someone with the same surname and same clan, you will know the pattern of generational names you know how you are exactly related. However, this tradition has been slowly breaking with the rapid industrialization of Korea.

    So for example, I'm in the generational line of Yoon, but my given name is Mi, which is unique to that generation in my family.

    Right, so how does this help you? You will know how to look for and compose the name you are looking for.

    Now, modern times have called for names that aren't dependent on generations too. Like named after famous people (Chun Hyang for, example...) or for favorite objects (Han Neul, meaning Sky). So this may show a break down of tradition (my family, however is very traditional with naming). Depending on what you are aiming for with the girl's name you may choose the more modern approach. For that one you need a Korean dictionary and a fairly good understanding of hanja. (Look at sources).

    The most common of given name parts in Korean girl's names tends to be things like Hwa (flower), Mi (Beauty), Hyang (scent/perfume), and Eun (common generational name--for example, the Korean actress, Yoon Eun Hye) When I see those I know it's a girl.

    There are also gender neutral names as well. But you wanted girl names for sure. Note that the meaning can change with the use of hanja.

    Again look at my sources, they should help you out, though you may have to cipher some hangeul to use them.

    I should note here that in traditional Korea, the men were likely to name the children and sometimes fights among family members would break out on how to do things like which hanja they would give the child, and what hopes they wanted to give the child, and so on. In my own family, my maternal grandfather and my father fought about which hanja my brother would get, but my grandfather won because my father had impulsively named me without consulting the rest of the family. Naming a child can be somewhat heated because to a Korean a name is the hopes, dreams and aspirations they wish the child to grow into. This is also why there are many jokes about badly named children in Korea. It's a bit unthinkable to name a child poorly. Extra bit of naming culture...
