You don’t have to have too many obsessions when naming your child. It’s simple, easy to understand, and catchy. It’s a good name. Don't be afraid of exposing your IQ, and don't be afraid of exposing your academic qualifications. You can't fake your parents' literary literacy.
I admire those lazy, self-aware parents who are not arty or mystical. Their children’s names are also fresh and refined, and they are one of the best, such as: Ke Yi, Zhou Mu, Zhao Si, Wu Yong, Cai Liao, Zhang Dada, Wang Xiaoxiao. I never felt that such parents were uneducated. Instead, they left a real and unpretentious impression on me.
There are also some parents who believe that they are highly talented and knowledgeable. They are pretentious and profound, and like to give their children names with uncommon characters, such as: Sun Ben Ben , Zheng Shengxun, He Ziyi, Kong Cining, Lu Minxiao, Jin Jingyan. Perhaps only such names can fully demonstrate the profound knowledge and profound cultivation of these parents. Didn't these parents consider that such a name would cause a lot of inconvenience to their children's future study, life and work?
As the saying goes, review the past and learn the new. Let’s recall the generation born in the early days of liberation. Their names are very characteristic of the times.
For example, many men are called Jianguo, Construction, Patriot, Love the People, Great Country, and Great People. There are many different names for ladies. Mei, Lan, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum are like iron camps, while Yan, Ying, Xia, and Mei are like soldiers of flowing water, such as Winter Plum, Chunlan, Summer Bamboo, Qiuju, Xiaoyan, and Bi. Ying, Qiuxia, Aimei... I am amazed. In that era without mobile phones, computers, or the Internet, how did these names become unified across the country?
In the 21st century, this span seems a bit large, but it doesn’t matter. Let’s focus on the key points.
Perhaps the nine-year compulsory education played a huge role. As a post-80s generation, my confidence that I don’t know who gave me told me that when I name my child, three hundred Tang poems Totally enough. If you don’t believe it, let’s check out a few ancient poems from primary school at random:
“White hair floats on the green water, and anthurium stirs the clear waves” in "Singing the Goose". Clear waves, the artistic conception of small river water. For example: Wu Qingbo.
In "Crossing the Fortress", "The moon shines brightly in the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty passes, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned." The bright moon, doesn’t it feel very bright? For example: Kong Mingyue.
"The sound of wind and rain at night can tell how many flowers have fallen" in "Spring Dawn". Can't the spring dawn and the sound of rain read a little bit of poetry? For example: Li Chunxiao, Zhang Yusheng.
"He who seeks hermitage will not find it" "Only in this mountain, I don't know where the clouds are". Yun Shen sounds quite mysterious. For example: Miao Yunshen.
In "Early Departure from Baidi City", "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains." Wanshan, this name is especially suitable for people with stomachaches and gastrointestinal problems. To avoid suspicion of advertising, the last name will not be mentioned.
"The wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow it again" in "Farewell to the Ancient Grassland". Does the birth of spring remind you of the image of the resurrection of all things? For example: Ma Chunsheng.
"The stone in the river will not turn, and the regret will be swallowed by Wu" in "Eight Formations". Jiang Liu, before I even finished writing, it reminded me of Jiang Liu'er in "Journey to the West", the nickname of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty.
In "Lovesickness", "Red beans grow in the south, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches." Southland has a rather exotic name. For example: Jiang Nanguo.
In "Snow on the River", "A lone man in a boat and a coir raincoat fishes alone in the cold snow on the river." Jiang Xue, whose surname is Jiang and given name is Xue. Generally, girls with this name are pretty good-looking.
In "Night Mooring at Maple Bridge", "The moon is setting, the crows are crying, the sky is full of frost, the river maples are fishing and the fire is facing melancholy."
Jiang Feng and Man Tian exuded a strong flavor of ancient dragon martial arts.
In "Early Departure from Baidi City", "The White Emperor bid farewell to the colorful clouds, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day." Caiyun reminds me of Fairy Zixia in Stephen Chow's "Westward Journey".
The name of this rank may be slightly despised by some parents who are full of knowledge. Since I have written about this topic, I am also prepared. Here are some rankings. Gao's name. "Chu Ci" and "The Book of Songs" are two essential magic weapons.
"Drinking magnolias in the morning with falling dew, dining with autumn chrysanthemums in the evening." Luoying is a poetic name, exclusive for girls.
"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Xiuyuan, this name is more suitable for parents who have high hopes for their children, especially boys.
"You can bathe in orchid soup and enjoy the fragrance, and you can wear beautiful clothes with beautiful flowers." Ruoying, there is an artist named Liu Ruoying. I heard that the familiar songs such as "Crazy for Love", "Love You Very Much", "Later", "So You Are Here Too" and "When Love Is Near" are all written by her. It's sung, and that's probably where the name comes from.
"Beauty needs to be cultivated, and I can ride on a osmanthus boat." Guizhou is a unisex name, suitable for parents who have no desires or desires for their children.
"The north wind blows, and the rain and snow fall. It is kind to me, and we will go home together." Yufei, it doesn’t matter what other people’s poems mean, it’s just two words, and they sound good.
"The quiet girl is waiting for me in the corner of the city." Jing Shu, a "Shu" child, can easily make my mind jump to Wu Yishu, the overall champion of the second CCTV "Chinese Poetry Conference" and successfully admitted to Tsinghua University in 2019. Those who dare to use this word are either beautiful or talented.
"The glorious wind comes from the south and blows the thorns. My mother is very kind, but I have no one to ask her." Kainan, in the past two years there has been a very popular cross talk actor named Bai Kainan, who is very unique.
"As a gentleman, you must follow the rules." Lingyi is suitable for a scholarly family, but ordinary children cannot handle it.
"The birds are like doves, and the birds are flying to the sky." Hanfei means a bright future and rapid success, so it is a good name for an official.
"The green purple embroidery makes me think about it for a long time." Zipei, a name for a humble gentleman, sounds good enough.
"When the wind and haze finally come, Hui Ran is willing to come." Hui Ran, more suitable for girls.
"I drink wine and drink softly." Sirou sounds like a girl's name. It has no special meaning, it just sounds nice.
Listing so many examples has only one purpose, which is to share it with all parents. When choosing a name for their children, there is no need to look at the birth date or ambiguity, as long as it sounds good. No one really cares about the special meaning of your child's name. This article is summarized by applying Stephen Chow's classic lines in "Westward Journey":
There was once a nice name placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it until I filled out my birth name. It was only when it was proven that I regretted it deeply. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that name: That’s it. If I had to add a deadline to this name, I hope it would be...one hundred years.
