Thanks a lot guys! I never thought about giving them English names, so I'll think about that more. I didn't know if they'd like it or not, but they could have fun with it. You don't think they'd find it insulting? Actaully, it might make things easier. With Korean names, some of them will put their family names first, others will put them last, and I won't end up remembering them anyway.
I always tell them that Korean names are so hard to remember (which they are) and most of them understand. Some of them still want to use their Korean name and that is fine just as long as they wrote it in English on the name tag.

In that way everybody is happy!
