Experts suggest that four-character names should be used to avoid duplicate names, and there are also some "taboos" to pay attention to:
1. Pay attention to the sound, form and meaning of the name.
A good name must first meet three basic criteria, that is, reading well, writing well and thinking beautifully.
2. It should conform to the regional characteristics.
Different regions have different language habits. Last year, a Lamian Noodles branch named Niubi appeared in South Street of Xinjiekou. This name is seriously homophonic with the "Niu B" in the Beijing curse, which is very ugly and has now closed down.
3. Pay attention to the meaning of homophonic names
Some names have good lists, but they just can't be read together. There was once a girl named "Mute", who was forced to change her name by the kindergarten teacher almost every day when she was a child. And another boy named "Du Ziteng" is the laughingstock of every class roll call.
4. Don't use uncommon words
Some parents choose uncommon words in order to highlight their individuality. But strange names may affect the healthy development of children's body and mind. "Liu Bi" was originally a name with a beautiful meaning. "Bi" means "two mountains stand side by side", which symbolizes that the children's parents are from Shandong and Shanxi respectively. However, naming students with such uncommon Chinese characters makes them not close to him at all, and teachers are afraid of losing face and rarely ask about his grades. When children grow up, their personalities become very withdrawn and weird.
5. Don't blindly apply the name.
Many people laugh at the name "cow Einstein". Such pressure will have a negative impact on the formation of personality when children are very young.

Four periods of overlapping names in history
The first stage: the early days of New China-
In order to commemorate this special period of great historical significance, many people at that time took the words "Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Liberation" and "Aid Korea" as their own names, which had distinctive chronological signs to express people's joy and good expectations for welcoming a new life.
The second stage: the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward-
In that special era, everything should be in line with the "revolution" and unified with the "position". Therefore, a large number of names such as "Red Guards", "Great Leap Forward" and "Oriental" appeared, and some even simply called it "Cultural Revolution" to show their firm political beliefs.
The third stage: the period of reform and opening up.
After a turbulent decade of the Cultural Revolution, the society at that time began to turn around from the Great Depression, and people resumed their normal work and study lives. With the popularity of "single name", a large number of names such as "Li Gang", "Wang Yong" and "Zhang Wei" have appeared, which to some extent reflects people's pursuit of simplicity, tranquility and simplicity after the disaster.
Stage 4: 10 year-
Since 1995, the theory of "five-grid division" has gradually begun to influence more and more parents' naming concepts. By the end of 2006, in the past 10 years, nearly 85% people will refer to the calculation results of "five grids" when choosing names. For the sake of "home safety" and "good luck", there have been serious "Zhang Xinyue" and "Zhang Xinwen" phenomena, and this trend of "following the trend" has really made people in the industry worry unprecedentedly.
