Name Issue
Unless I'm completely wrong, it is my understanding that "Pil Lip" is NOT a "natural" Korean name. That it to say, all "Pil Lib" is is simply the Korean transliteration of "Philip" (etc), as opposed to it being a name that existed in Korea "naturally" before any Korean ever knew of the Western name "Philip" (etc). As such, for the article to state "Ahn was born Pil Lip Ahn in Highland Park, California." is a bit of a stretch; instead, it seems like he was simply born "Philip Ahn", and his Korean name was simply the transliteration of "Philip". For reference, I myself am a Korean with the name "Philip", and I have no "Korean" name other than its transliteration, "Pil Lip" (필립)... as opposed to other Korean friends and family who have both a "Korean" and "American/English" name which usually are completely different (like how Danny Ahn is his "American/English name" while "Ahn Shin-won" is his "Korean name").

Of note, the first naturalized American citizen of Korean descent was one Seo Jae-pil, also known in English as Philip Jaisohn; I wouldn't be surprised that Philip Ahn was named in Philip Jaisohn's honor, as I was. Thus.... I don't think that he was born "Pil Lip" and his "American/English name" was Philip, in the sense that Philip Jaisohn was born "Jae-pil" and his "American/English name" was Philip. Rather, Philip Ahn's name is—and only is—"Philip".

Of course, this is unless I'm absolutely wrong, and "Pil Lip" IS a "natural" Korean name (like Do'wan, Sungmo, Kyusung, etc). —— 66.92.0.62 (talk) 03:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
