MMM, yes, most of those I know who adopt western names are Korean and Christian, but the names are not necessarily biblical names. I don't know if ts because I know more Koreans than Japanese.

There are used to be many cultures where changing one's name is done to counteract bad luck or unfortunate events in their lives.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
