Haha, I have a say in this kind of thing, because my own child’s name was chosen by my wife and me. A name is a code for a person. Some people pursue elegance, others pursue loudness, but what I pursue is meaningful. So when I came up with the name, I fully considered some characteristics of me and the mother of the child, such as hobbies, birth date, and so on.
Finally, because the mother of the child has the Chinese character for Lin, she named her Mumu, which is simple and suitable for both men and women. I think this is one of my more creative times. There are some things to pay attention to when naming your child. Let me tell you from my understanding below
1. The name should be simple and easy to remember
The name must be simple, otherwise your child may Even in elementary school, I couldn’t write my own name. And don’t use uncommon words when naming, because although these words have good meanings, few people know them. If you want your child to correct the pronunciation over and over again, then I think people will try to call this name as little as possible.
2. Reading the name in dialect may be inelegant, so avoid reading it in dialect
Many places have dialects, that is, hometown dialects. Because dialects are different from Mandarin, there may be problems with dialects when reading Mandarin is fine. Therefore, when choosing a name, you need to try it both in Mandarin and dialect. Some may have no problem reading it upright, but may cause problems when reading it backwards, so you should also pay attention to it.
3. Avoid the names of elders when naming them
Children will have many elders. When we name our children, we must avoid the words and sounds of these elders. This is called avoidance. Not only the characters cannot be used, but also the sounds must be avoided. My father is Ying's classmate, and many of his peers are named X Ying
There is also my son. At that time, my father thought of the name Dongxing, but because the pronunciation of Xing conflicted with my uncle, the name was rejected by my mother because she did not want to quarrel with others. So when naming, be careful to avoid the characters and sounds of your elders!
This is my understanding of naming. In many cases, the name just needs to have a meaning. Many of my colleagues give their children very simple names. In fact, as long as the children grow up healthily, it will be fine!
