That's why I wrote my name in hiragana officially. 娥 and 璟 aren't in the Jinmeiyo kanji or Joyo kanji, and the pronunciation deviates from the actual Japanese. It's really one of the more complex names around. Add in the 皇, and you have a very uncommon name (even the original Korean would have been uncommon, since both 娥 and 璟 weren't added to the Inmyongyong hanjapyo until 2001)

You must have had a tough time always correcting people (especially teachers) correctly announcing your name, but it has a certain royal mysticism in it, if you know what I mean.

Yes it is.
