Of course there are differences between people’s names today and those in the past. The names given by the old people in the past were as poetic as dreams and unforgettable. Nowadays, the streets are full of people with the same name. Especially in kindergarten, if you call out a name, the number of people turning around is very high.

It needs to be started according to the family's genealogy and the Five Elements and Eight Characters.

For modern people, a name is just a pronoun for a person.

Names like Zihan, Zixuan, Haoyu, etc. are really popular in kindergartens and on the street.

In fact, naming also indirectly reflects the story of an era, like our grandfathers. They are very particular about choosing names, and their cultural level is very high, so the names they choose are very nice and artistic. When it comes to the names of our parents’ generation, they also reflect some characteristics of this era. Since the founding of New China, our parents’ generation likes to choose names that love the people, love the country, and build the country for the country. Not to mention our generation of young people. Many people search online. If you search online and I search online, wouldn’t there be more names with the same name?
