I actually got the name after an hour of trying other names that were all taken, so I settled on this one before I had even heard of 300.

My username is a clever spin on my nickname.

Worthy, so I added of note to it and it came out awesome. So instead of noteworthy, it's worthyofnote.

Generally people get names from their parents, and their parents generally take from the cultural standards at the time, and generally those cultural standards reflect the ethnic background of the society you are living in.

A user name can be anything you want... but if you want an "Asian name" in real life, you usually have to be born in an Asian country and/or be born to an Asian family.

I thought this would be one of those joke threads

You know, How do parents choose their kids names in Korea.... Roll a tin can down the stairs

Japanese names sound the best so I would look up names like that

Well for a Chinese name with 3 characters, the first is the family name (last name), the second is usually the generation name and the third is usually a optimistic word for the child's future.

There is always a passed down name, then the grandfather chooses the next part to it. For example, my friends name is Byong Soo. His cousins name is Byong Sun. Their surnames are both Kim.
