H. Strong Names Only Strong Characters Can Pull Off
Among Korean names, there are names that are exceptionally difficult to pronounce or have a strong pronunciation, such as Kwak Cheol-yong (곽철용) and Kwak Du-pal (곽두팔), that have a very strong, macho feel. They're names only men with incredibly strong impressions and strength would have, but actually, they're often used by young Korean women when needed.
Women living alone are reluctant to expose their personal information when ordering items, so they often use names of strong men, like Kwak Cheol-yong and Kwak Du-pal, instead of their real names.
