1. Name the baby after the father.
This naming method was mostly used in ancient times, and it was directly named after the father. For example, in the Han Dynasty when a powerful marquis left Zhang Fu, his son was also named Fu; in Guangping Jiehou De, his son was also named De. In the Song Dynasty, the father and son of King Linyi had the same name as Yang Mai, the father and son of Luo Chushi were named Jingyuan, and the son of Yang Wenzhen was named Wenxiu. In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Zhongwu and his son were named Jiang, both of whom had the same names.
A name that takes the name of the father and the son of the son has the function of maintaining and enhancing the relationship between father and son, but it also has shortcomings that cannot be ignored. Not only does it make it difficult to distinguish father from son, but it also seems to be disrespectful to elders, so it should not be promoted. Moreover, patronymic names mostly appear in stage names, while officially used names are basically gone.
For example, Shao opera artist Zhang Zongyi’s stage name is “Liu Lingtong”, and his son’s stage name is “Liu Xiaolingtong”; Pingju opera artist Li Guizhen’s stage name is “Bai Yushuang”, and her adopted daughter Li Zaiwen’s stage name is “Xiao Xiaolingtong”. Bai Yushuang" etc. Similar examples include the father's name Yang Zhang, the son's name Yang Xiaozhang; the father's name Lu Cheng, the son's name Lu Youcheng; the father's name Wei Huanren, the son's name Wei Ziren, etc. However, in today's society, only the first name is generally given, and it is not recommended to use the father's name for naming.
2. Name the baby after the mother.
It is relatively rare to name someone after their mother, and when they do, they always follow their mother’s surname. For example, Lu Xun, whose original name was Zhou Shuren, was changed from his mother's surname to Lu Xun; Ma Xulun was changed from his mother's surname to Zou Huasun, Hu Feng was also named from his mother's surname, and the six sisters of the Chinese-American Ms. Chen Xiangmei were also named after their mother's surname.
3. Name the child in a certain order based on the surnames of the parents.
When modern parents name their children, many children are named according to their parents’ surnames. There are three specific situations in this naming method.
One is to directly use the surnames of the parents to name the child. In this case, the father's surname usually comes first and the mother's surname comes last. For example, if the father's surname is Song and the mother's surname is Mei, the daughter can be named "Song Mei". If the father's surname is Wang and the mother is Jiang, the son can be named "Wang Jiang". There are also names such as Shangguan Kang, Sima Yang and Sun Pu. , Li Liu, Xiao Bai, Jinzhu, Xingan, etc.
Of course, there are also cases where the mother's surname comes first and the father's surname comes last, especially when the joint surname is pronounced smoothly, such as the father's surname is Zhang and the mother's surname is Wen, and the children are named Wen Zhang, Wen Zhang, and Wen Zhang. , Wen Zhang et al.
One way is to inherit one surname and "combine" it with the other surname in the form of homophony. Such a name is both vivid and interesting.
For example, if the father's surname is Wang and the mother's surname is Yao, the children will be named Wang Yao, Wang Yao, Wang Yao, Wang Yao, etc. Another example is Chen Zhou (Zhou), Gao Wei (Wei), Sun Li (Li), Gu Zhang (Zhang) and so on. The parents have compound surnames, and the children have three-letter names. For example, if the father's surname is Murong and the mother's surname is Qiao, the children will be named Murong Qiao, Murong Qiao, Murong Qiao, etc.
Another method is to take the parents’ surname and then add one or two words to make the name more interesting and radiant.
For example, Zhao Yanxia, ??whose husband's surname is Zhang, named his daughter "Zhang Chuyan", which is a combination of the father's surname and the mother's name. Another example is Yang Qingye (Yang Yeqing). The word "green" is added between (or behind) Yang and Ye, which immediately adds color to the name. Another example is Hua Hanshu, one has the surname Hua and the other has the surname Shu. If they are simply added together and called "Hua Shu", it is just a very common and simple name, but adding the word "Han" adds infinite space. , allowing people to imagine freely in an elegant artistic conception.
Naming children after their parents’ names has an invisible influence on their children. In the subtle influence of the use of names, they will have posthumous feelings of kindness towards their parents.
