In addition, the difference is that today's caste is unstable. For example, if the father's surname is Liu and the mother's surname is Yang, and the boy is named Liu Yang, then if he marries a wife and has children, will the child still be named Liu Yang? What about someone? Or should I take my wife’s surname? If it is the former case, then the surname has begun to be passed down. In the latter case, it is more suitable to understand it as a three-character name with a single surname.
It may be that the parents are more affectionate, and the mother has a higher status in the family and has more say, or it may be for individuality and uniqueness. Naming based on the birth date is a more reliable way. Many parents choose names for their babies at Chen Dexuan, where there are many suitable names to choose from.
The whole country is implementing the policy. A family with the surname Liu gave birth to twin boys who came to the street office to register their household registration. They were of Chinese generation. One of the twins was named Liu Guozheng and the other was named Liu Guoce. It is best to name your child with few strokes and a smooth name. Do not use uncommon words or words with unlucky pronunciation. Also try not to choose a name that is easy to duplicate.
Nowadays, many parents name their children, and it is easy to find some uncommon words, such as rare words, to name their children. At this time, the rate of duplicate names was indeed low, but a new problem arose. It is possible that others cannot pronounce the child's name. There are some words that are too rare, and when the teacher calls out the names, there will be embarrassment that they cannot pronounce them.
Over the years, the children in my family, including the children of my neighbors, have all been given names by me. The naming method passed down from the ancients emphasized the importance of starting with the nickname (little name) first, followed by the surname and the meaning of the word. I have changed all this from my point of view. There is no need to give the nickname again, just call the big name. Just add your surname when you are in elementary school.
In the past, it was usually the father, because boys were favored, but now it can be named by either parent, because men and women are equal! Generally, the conscious and unconscious division of labor is to name a girl's mother according to her father, and the boy's father to name her mother, which I think is very good, both fair and harmonious!
