Topic in facebook.com - None of my Korean friends call me 'pll kon seong' but why would I want to foreigner call me 'pill kon seong'?

originally http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2245127154&topic=3453

So every body call me my name for 'Seong pill kon'. Isn't that a wise decision?
I wrote my Korean blog about this issue - 이름을 영어로 표기하는 방법 http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/asrai21c/993
But, a lot of Koreans still use either way. Please, read my blog's article and think wisely.
Think about very carefully.. What was your name for?

If you would like to have some special name, there has a nickname right? That's what nickname for. So you can use nickname instead of changing your real name like me. So sometimes I can write 'Ara Seong' because if I said to Korean that my nickname is 'Seong Ara', Korean will imagine meaning of my name and laugh at it-When I thinking about it, I admit it that I laugh, too. So I will probably use just 'Ara' to Korean.
