When naming the Book of Changes, some people like to use homophony. But this method is not a panacea. It is subject to two limitations:
(1) The limitation of word meaning, that is, when using homophonic words, some words with beautiful meanings must be used.
(2) Restrictions on surnames. Not every surname has good homophony or good literal meaning. Some surnames even have bad homophonics, such as "Wu" (wu), "Wang" (death), "Fei" (bandit) and other surnames even have unlucky homophonics.
Therefore, when we use homophonic names, we must pay attention to their rationality.
1. Elegance
Homophony should avoid misleading people. For example: the name "Pang Bo", in addition to meaning broad knowledge and erudition, also has the same pronunciation as the word "majestic", which means majestic and majestic. These words with the same pronunciation and different shapes make people naturally associate them with the same pronunciation of meaningful words in the language as soon as they hear these names, enriching the content of the names. These names have good homophony and can give off a bookish atmosphere.
2. Rationalization
The homophonic names must be harmonious and reasonable, and do not become "evil sounds". For example: Liu (Liu) Qingshan, Zhu (Zhu) Baoting, Ma Xing (Xin) Chun, Deng Ai (Love) Min, Mo (Mo) Ruotian, Wei (Wei) Jin (Jin) Yi (Yi), etc. These homophonic sounds are good.
3. Interesting
But this does not mean that the name should be vulgar. On the contrary, it should be carefully considered and leave no room for this possibility. For example, the name "Yao Peiqian" was designed to mean "cultivating the virtue of humility". However, the word "pei" has the same pronunciation as the word "compensation", and the word "qian" is in harmony with the word "money", so it is easy to transform it into a negative meaning of "to lose money". This is the sequelae of poor consideration, causing undesirable effects. When we use the homophonic method to choose a name, we must repeatedly think about it and consider it carefully to prevent the occurrence of bad tendencies.
4. Culturalness
The homophony must be culturally harmonious. For example, some namemakers only pay attention to the meaning of the name itself, but ignore that the homophones of the name may be derogatory. For example, "Yu Gang" will make people think of "fish tank", and "Fan Wan" will make people think of "rice bowl". In addition, people with the following three surnames should be taken seriously enough, because they may be called out if they are not careful. These three characters are "Wu and Wang". The word "Wu". You need to be careful when choosing a person with the surname "Wu", because "Wu" and "Wu" are homophonic, which may lead to the opposite meaning. For example: "Wude" is homophonic to "Wude". The surname "Wang", when used properly, can bring glory, such as the names of calligrapher Wang Xizhi, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty and others. But if used improperly, the word "王" will make people think of the word "death" which is homophonic. For example: "Wang Guojun" is homophonic to "King of the Subjugated Country".
5. Rationalization
The homophonic names must be harmonious and reasonable, and do not become "evil sounds". For example: Liu (Liu) Shan, Zhu (Zhu) Baoting, Ma Xing (Xin) Chun, Deng Ai (Ai) Min, Mo (Mo) Ruotian, Wei (Wei) Jin (Jin) Yi (Yi), etc. These homophonic sounds are good.
