Children’s names last a lifetime, so we are particularly entangled when naming our children. We want something nice to hear, something easy to write, and even more meaningful.
I came up with the name for my child. I thought of it when I was pregnant. At that time, my husband looked up a lot of information and picked out some words that he was satisfied with. Finally, we combined these words. Together, choose whichever sounds better. However, the one we finally chose was rejected by the elderly family members, who cited a lot of reasons for moving. Later, when the due date was only half a month away, I named the baby according to my own preferences and wrote it directly on the birth certificate after the baby was born. The elders at home couldn't do anything about it after they found out.
However, every parent has his or her own ideas when naming their children. Some hope that their children will be successful, some want to name their children well-pronounced, and some prefer to give them funny names. No, there is a child named Guan who has such a funny name that the teacher dare not call her by her name in class. A father named "Guan" named his daughter, but why didn't the teacher dare to call him in class?
The cause of the incident was that a primary school teacher posted the names of the students in his class online. There was a little girl whose surname was Guan. Her father gave her the name "Guan Yin". She was originally a girl with green grass. Meaning, but the child's father ignored his surname Guan.
Guan Yin, when you think of it, it is the Guanyin we usually worship. When the teacher calls Guan Yin in class, there are always some naughty children who answer "Bodhisattva". Sometimes the children just call others "Bodhisattva". In the end, the teacher does not dare to call others by this name frequently during class. She was afraid that the children's noise would hurt Guan Yin's psychology.
Later, when the child’s father learned about this incident, he planned to change his child’s name. He hoped that this time he would have a catchy name with no other homophones.
What should you pay attention to when naming your child?
Don’t use words that are too difficult to write
In order to prevent their children’s names from repeating others, some parents use a lot of strokes in their names, and even some consecutive words. Even adults cannot write well. In fact, this kind of character is really not suitable for naming children, because children have to practice writing their own names since kindergarten, and if your name has a lot of strokes, every time you see other children, they have already finished writing it. If you don’t know how to write or write slowly, your children’s enthusiasm will be dampened.
When I was in the first grade of elementary school, my exam time was often delayed because of difficult words in my name. I was reluctant to write the difficult names in my homework books, so I asked my parents to do it for me.
Don’t use uncommon characters
Uncommon characters are indeed very personal when used in naming, but sometimes uncommon characters cannot be typed on a computer, so they are used on some documents. will be ignored, resulting in typos.
There was a candidate who couldn’t get his admission ticket because his name had a rare word in it. In the end, his parents went to many offices and issued a bunch of certificates before he could get his admission ticket.
Therefore, when parents name their children, they try to use words that are easy to write and read.
