So-hui

Two syllables balanced on breath: soh-hwee. So-hui is a Korean feminine given name built from so, often linked to hanja suggesting smallness in the affectionate sense or the element sho meaning luminous, and hui, frequently drawn from characters for brightness, beauty, or joy. The romanization varies: you'll also find it rendered Sohee, the form carried into Korean pop music by the singer known simply as Sohee. The sound is delicate without being fragile, the second syllable opening like a window. It feels quintessentially contemporary Korean, current in birth rolls yet soft at the edges. Bright, graceful, unhurried.
