EXO name replacement?
Hey everybody!
I'm currently re-working True Beauty so it'll be suitable to be sent out to publishing companies, and I'm at a total stand still as to what I would like the members of EXO to be named. Due to copyright issues, I cannot use the members names as is (Baekhyun, Jongin, etc), and have to replace their names with a different one. The ONLY name I will be keeping is Sehun, because it's more american friendly and it'll still retain the memory of EXO within the story.
As for the other boys, their names unfortunately will have to be changed. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas? I want to retain the Korean/Asian culture, but I also want the names to be more American friendly, so names like Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, Chanyeol, Junmyeon, and other clearly Korean names, unfortuantely, can't make the cut.
I'm hoping to have the final draft of True Beauty sent out by mid/end of July (in hopes of getting responses before college apps are due), so I'll be pretty busy this month.
True Beauty may end up being a hit or miss, but hey, it's worth a shot isn't it? Whether it's accepted for publication or not, I really appreciate all the love and support you guys have given me through comments, PMs, story posters, and all the rest!
There are quite a few things that will be altered in the new version, so if the story does end up being a success, you won't be totally bored if you read the physical published version (in hopes that you get your hands on one!)
With that said, any name ideas?
