Hi there,

People in Korea will call you Prayash Shakya.
If you want a Korean name, you can pick a name you like and ask people to call you by that name.
Or if your name "Prayash" has a meaning that you would like to keep, please let me know.
I will try to come up with a Korean name for you.

Thanks,

Yup, my name Prayash has a very common meaning its "try" and Shakya came from dynasty of Gautam Buddha. I'm a Buddhist namja. Shakya denotes my religion and it is my last name. Regarding Prayash it means try:) Annyeong

Hi Prayash,

Thanks for telling me about your name.
It really makes a difference and makes your name sound even better!

Hmm...how about 시도 sido which means "to try, attempt" in Korean?
Of course, you would keep your last name as Shakya.

I think it would be nice to keep your original name.
But it is just a suggestion.

Hello prayashshakya9671,

Here we have some information for you to type in Korean:
- If you use Mac OSX, you can add Korean language on the system setting panel. It’s simple. Go to the Setting, Language and text, then click 'input source' on the window. Then, you need to click Hangul -> set Hangul on the list so that you can activate the Korean input system.

- If you use Windows, click one of the following links to find how to install Korean Input System (IME) or add its typing system on the control panel. Please see the following link for more details.

After installation, please change the Regional and Language setting on your control panel. Don’t forget to check ‘Install files for East Asian Languages’, so that you can type Korean on your computer. To type Korean correctly, you should know which key represents which character. You can print out Korean keyboard layout and practice to get used to. Consonants are placed on the left side, while vowels on the right, so it will be not difficult to type.

Hope that helps
