The so-called "nickname" refers to the name given to a person in childhood. According to records, the term "nickname" came into existence during the Qin and Han Dynasties in my country. As for the question of why Chinese people like to give their children "nicknames" and still do so today, the folklore explanation is: 1. Borrowing the names of stones, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even animals around them, and calling them casually. Easy to pronounce, easy to remember and easy to pronounce. 2. Named because of rankings or deliberately chosen out of superstition; 3. To seek auspicious words, such as Jiabao, Laifu, Xi'er, etc., which bluntly express the good wishes of the namer.
Then our parents have as much trouble with nicknames as they do with nicknames, so let me, an American goddess, accompany you to see how to choose a nickname for your baby. .
1. Associative naming method
Give the baby a nickname based on the situation or mood of the parents when the child was born.

The contemporary Chinese household registration system forces parents to speed up the process of giving their children a nickname, and then consider the nickname for their children, or the combination of the nickname and the nickname. Consider the nickname at the same time. In this way, it is the most direct and simple way to choose the nickname based on the famous name.
3. Give the baby nicknames based on the animals or plants that parents like.
For example: bunny, deer, chrysanthemum, cuckoo, etc.
IV. Random naming method
There is no need to consider any factors of the baby. It means that you only need to consider a nickname that is easy to pronounce, friendly, and nice. There are many such nicknames. , such as "Yaya, Doudou, Yueyue" etc.
5. Expected naming
Generally, parents will have certain sustenance and blessings for their children. We can give the baby nicknames in this way, such as: Dawei, Xiaoting, Lili, etc.
6. Name the baby according to the time, place and characteristics of the baby’s birth.
Nicknames based on birth time include: Chenchen, Liangliang, etc. Those starting from the place of birth include: Jinjin, Ningning, etc. Another example is that football star Rong Zhixing was born on a sailing journey, so his parents gave him the nickname "Haisheng".
