Taboos and skills of choosing names, people often have a good impression of nice and special names, so now parents are racking their brains to choose names. A good name should not only pay attention to the meaning, but also consider the harmony of melody and the order of strokes, and then share the taboos and skills of name selection.
Taboos and skills in naming names 1 1, avoid cold words.
If you use some uncommon words when naming a name, most people will not know it after reading it, which will easily lead to an embarrassing situation and affect social interaction.
2. Avoid polyphonic words
Many Chinese characters in China are polyphonic characters, and a word has multiple pronunciations. If you choose a name, try to avoid using polyphonic words, because it will cause a lot of trouble in social interaction.
Step 3 avoid ancestors' names
Our Han folk traditions are all about seniority, and every generation will share a word. You can tell your seniority by your name. If you disturb the order of generations and directly name an ancestor or elder, people won't know if you are a grandparent or grandchild. It is disrespectful to ancestors and elders, and it is hard to accept.
4. Avoid the names of ancient sages.
The names of ancient sages are widely known and have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If you have to have the same name, others will feel very uncomfortable. For example, if your surname is Fan, you will be named Fan Zhongyan. Zeng Guofan was named after Zeng, which is obviously unacceptable.
5, avoid reading the word "around the mouth"
Some names are difficult to read, or they may be mispronounced and misunderstood, leading to misunderstanding. It is because the words are so awkward that they almost become "tongue twisters", such as Lu, Hu Chufu, Zhou Xiaochao, Shen Jiji and so on.
6. Avoid homophonic words that are indecent to read.
Some people's names look elegant on the surface, but they will sound the same or similar to other indecent or derogatory words, which will easily lead to ridicule and banter. For example, Peach Blossom (Peach Blossom), Bai Yanliang (Baiyanlang), Shen Jingbing (mental illness), Wang (bitch), Hu Lijing (fox) and so on.
7. Avoid too fashionable words.
Our Chinese nation is an ancient civilization with a long history and profound Chinese culture. Don't use some fashionable words when naming names, it will make people feel that their parents' cultural quality is low, which is simply vulgar, and such names are easy to repeat.
8. Avoid too much praise.
Whether a name is good or not depends not on how gorgeous and colorful the words are, but on whether the words are appropriate. For example, when naming boys, many people like to use some too intense words, such as fierce, rigid, strong, bold, aggressive and so on; Many people always like to use the words Chunlan, Qiuju, Yan, Hong, Li, Mei and Rou when naming girls, which makes people feel very vulgar.
9. Avoid simple names for the most popular names.
Now many people like to remember the names of single words. In this way, there will be a large number of duplicate names. Especially in our country with a population of more than one billion, many big surnames have many duplicate names, and it is easier to duplicate names if you take a single name.
10, avoid organ naming.
In China, we don't usually name an organ, but there are exceptions in history. For example, in the Warring States period, Chu Huaiwang was named Xiong Xin, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong was named Zhong Er. However, these are special cases. The roles of these organs are harmonious with other roles, but they are innovative.
Taboos and Skills of Naming 2 Naming Method 1, Zodiac Naming Method
This is the simplest and most understandable naming method. Children are named according to their zodiac preferences. Many parents will consider the zodiac when naming names. For example, if a cow or rabbit likes grass, it will take the word grass head. Zodiac snakes like to stay in caves and can take the shape of mouths;
Chickens mainly eat cereals, so they like to use beans, rice, cereals, wheat and sorghum. For example, the zodiac is a tiger, you can use it, so close to the image of the tiger; The zodiac is a horse, which can be used as a metaphor for its vigorous, high-spirited and imposing appearance.
Naming method 2. Surnames and first names are combined to name.
Usually, when we name a name, we can consider that the first name and surname are related to form an overall structure, such as Xu's, named Wuji; If the surname is Qian, name it, money is full,; Surname cheng, first name success; The surname is sweet, and the name is sweet; Bai, named Bai Xue.
A friend named Ma is Ma Chi, and a friend named Niu is Niu Ben, which is also impressive. Also, because my friend's surname is Ke, thirsty, so surnames are all named after words with water properties, such as Haitao, Haisheng, Deshui and so on.
There are also more ingenious combinations of surnames and idioms, which are more cultural. For example, a friend of mine named Wu named his son Wu Helun, which means unparalleled. Another friend surnamed Chen named her daughter Chen Yuyan, which is a common idiom.
Naming method 3, seasonal naming method
This is also an easy-to-use and most commonly used naming method. For example, those born in spring are called Chunsheng, those born in autumn are called Qiusheng, those born in summer are called Xiasheng, and those born in winter are called Dongsheng (these names are very common in the post-70s generation). Of course, in addition to the word "sheng", other names can be used according to the season, such as Yingchun, Xiashuang, Donglai and Baixue.
Naming method 4. Naming method of place names
It can also be named after one's birthplace, or native place, or the place where one's parents live. For example, Chen Luyu, a famous host, was named after his parents' native place, and Li Xiang, a famous actor, was named after his hometown of Hunan, which is called Hunan for short. For example, some names, such as Xiangqiong and Guining, are also taken according to place names.
There is also our sage, Confucius, a great thinker and educator. His name is Qiu Zi, named after "Ni Qiu prayed for Confucius". It means to pray for the children in this place, Mud Hill, so he was born in Kong Qiu.
Naming method 5. Three talents and five grids naming
This naming method needs professionals to get it, but today, with the development of online consultation, you can also buy books or consult materials online for reference. The five grids of the name are Tian Ge, Personality, Lanci, Waiqi and General Grid. The so-called three talents refer to heaven, personality and geography in the five elements. Among the naming formats of "three talents and five grids", the format of "three talents of heaven, man and earth" is the most important, because heaven, earth and man are integrated and interrelated, and this method is often used to measure names and make name predictions.
Naming method 6. It should be named by the five elements method.
Named after the birthday. The theory of five elements has had an important influence on the study of names, and naming names according to the likes and dislikes of the five elements in the eight characters occupies an important position in ancient times. This method is also a professional method, which requires an understanding of the Five Elements Theory, heavenly stems and earthly branches and even Zhouyi.
This naming method is also very common, and there are examples in some literary works. For example, the character "Runtu" in Lu Xun's novel "Hometown" is a typical example. The five elements lack soil, hence the name "moistening the soil". In addition, we found that the names of some people or shops used words such as Xin, Yao, Miao, Sen and Yan, which were all based on the five elements.
Taboos and Skills of Naming The first taboo of three people's naming: use gender regardless of words.
The so-called gender neutrality means that girls' names are masculine, while boys' names are feminine, which is often confusing from the perspective of names. Obviously, for boys' names, it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of strong personality and rough temperament, while for girls' names, it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of gentleness, liveliness and loveliness, but this does not mean that girls can't be strong, or boys can't be gentle, just for the common aesthetics of the people.
Secondly, the main purpose of names is to facilitate interpersonal communication, so some nondescript, male or female names often have a negative impact on interpersonal communication, which is very undesirable. Parents pursue individuality and uniqueness in naming, but this idea should be moderate, and gender differences should not be completely ignored, leading to the situation of "no men and no women", which is harmful and should be avoided.
The second taboo of personal names: use uncommon and complicated words.
In order to pursue the same name, many parents often choose some rare words or traditional Chinese characters, which are unique in the country. But like this, it is not only easy to be mispronounced and misspelled in the future, but also often bland, unhelpful and sometimes even distorted. Therefore, parents must avoid uncommon words and traditional Chinese characters when naming names, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in daily life and some occasions, such as handling ID cards, passports, bank accounts, etc.
The third taboo of personal names: use polyphonic words.
First of all, if you use polyphonic words, it is difficult for strangers to pronounce the name correctly for the first time. Sometimes the names are even ambiguous, causing others to misinterpret them, such as "sissy" and "long line", which belong to polyphonic words. Different pronunciations have different meanings. Secondly, we also need to avoid using homophonic words when naming names. People are often sensitive and suspicious of these words, and that's how nicknames sometimes come about.
The fourth taboo of personal names: using vulgar and low-level words
Names are like a person's clothes, representing everyone's image, while vulgar, vulgar and ugly words, like a dirty dress, not only exert a subtle influence on themselves, but also show great disrespect to outsiders. On the contrary, if parents choose a good name with rich connotation and elegance, it will greatly increase the impression points in daily life, increase the goodwill of others, and subtly affect the taste, elegant temperament and pure heart of the whole person.
