    Well I don't know the meaning but the new generation Koreans think that any girls name with "soon" is funny because it used to be very common back in the days, probably in their grandmother's generation. (40's, 50's,). It sounds very old fashion and not pretty. "Kim Sam Soon" does not like her name because kids used to tease her because "soon" is an old name. For example, Koreans used to have many kids in the past and the parents would name the 1st kid Soon Hee, 2nd kid Soon Duk . 3rd- Soon Ja, and so on (that was the trend). People can usually tell that the person is around your mother's age by their name.

    When he remarked to Andrew about his 'nearly first'! Him and the Tree loving each other! Him n Dave as Stavros Flatley. Telling John James that he was on a game show when the freak-boy was declaring that nobody was going to tell him what to do! Asking the questions we all wanted answering about The JJ+Josie Showmance. Looking out for Steve in the flood - Aw, nice guy :) Him as the ninja. He was great entertainment! In his short weeks in the house he was more interesting that the HM still left were put together! Andrew - Jack Bauer and 'Josie's mine now' and the Melon were funny. Mario - Nothing amusing. JJ2 - Nothing full stop! Josie - Only interesting in the way a dead body is - you look to see how gross it is! Dave - I fancy him but even I can see he's as boring as hell! Yep, Sam Pepper WAS robbed!!

    The tv drama Kim Sam Soon right? Sam Ship's mom said that Sam Soon's name meant Third Miller's Daughter if I remember correctly. And her father was a miller.

    "Sam Soon" is not a funny name; it is just an ugly, old-fashioned name and that's why she hates her name so much in the show.

    Like the other answerer mentioned, any name with "Soon" was common back in the 1930s or 1940s. Plus, "Sam" means "three" or "third" and she got her name "Sam Soon" because she is a 3rd daughter of her family. Her grandpa was so upset about having three girls in a row and named her in a tacky way.

    If you are an English speaker, think of names like "Gertrude", "Mildred" or "Eleanor". Apparently, they are not so pretty names for young ladies.

    Mabel or Hazel would be comparable to Sam Soon

    lol

    It's a very old-fashioned name.

    It's like, "Bertha" in English.

    Sam Soon is basically an embarrassing name.
