The name has always been Friends think it is very classic and chic, but she has also encountered a series of troubles: applying for a student ID card when going to school, applying for a work ID card when going to work, and now applying for a social security card and passport. Things that others can basically pass smoothly, she It takes several runs to pass. The reason is very simple, because this female painting
is a rare character and cannot be found in the computer font library. In fact, nowadays, when parents are racking their brains to give their children a special name, many citizens have the same troubles as Nv Hua
. Reporters learned from the 2003 Shanghai Language and Writing Working Committee plenary meeting held yesterday that this year, the National Language and Writing Committee will gradually standardize the use of citizens' names to reduce the inconvenience caused by uncommon names.
Ms. Sun Xiaoxian, director of the Language Management Office of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, told reporters that many parents like to read "Cihai" when naming their children, and they must find a unique name. As everyone knows, "Cihai" Many words in it have become outdated and become "cold words"
or "dead words". Of course, generally speaking, naming is an individual's right, but if the name uses an uncommon word, it will be a lot of trouble when applying for various documents. In fact, the 7,000 common characters stipulated in the national language and characters law can already cover 97% of the words people use in daily life. At present, the State Language Commission is working on compiling a universal "Character List for Personal Names". Except that variant characters in surnames can remain the original characters, parents' names for their children in the future should generally fall within the scope of this list. However, parents who love their children need not worry about this, because in addition to common characters, this list also includes some uncommon characters that are often used as names, which is enough for parents to choose from.
Ms. Sun also told reporters that from an expert's point of view, the more words in a name, the lower the repetition rate. Therefore, parents are encouraged to use fewer single words and try to name their children with two words. According to the reporter's knowledge, many parents with a single surname have now begun to give three-character names. For example, the daughter of Li Xin, the director of the movie "Huayan", is called "Li Yun Duoduo."
