Text | Diary of Mi Li’s mother
Chinese writing is extensive and profound, and the Chinese people have also studied naming, which has been passed down to this day. Especially the ancient literati wrote Many poems and lines are worthy of reference and reference by our descendants. For example, the Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, etc. are the best choices for people to learn from when naming their children. With the progress of the times, parents are no longer interested in naming their children. No longer stick to famous poems, but be more bold in innovation. A new way of naming was born, and it also led a new trend in naming.
This method is the naming method of "father's surname and mother's surname". To give a simple example: if the father's surname is Li and the mother's surname is Zheng, the child's name may be "Li Zheng" Or add a word in the middle or at the end to turn it into the child's name. Although this method is more original and incorporates the parents' surnames, it sometimes encounters embarrassing problems and causes unnecessary disputes between parents. .
When Ms. Li was naming her child, she had a big fight with her husband because of the baby’s name. Her husband’s surname was Yang. Generally speaking, the child should take the father’s surname, but Ms. Li insisted on using it. If the child is named after the father's and mother's surnames, then "Yang Li" is somewhat awkward to put together, but "Li Yang" goes well together, but Mr. Yang feels that the name "Li Yang" is a bit tacky and common. , the two had a big fight over the child's name. In the end, Mr. Yang compromised and let the child take his mother's surname.
1. The name sounds rather stiff
In fact, there are few combinations of the father's surname and the mother's surname that match smoothly. Take the surname Wang and the surname Li, for example, the combination forms " "Wang Li or Li Wang" are not easy to pronounce, and there are also the surnames Zhao and Zhou. The combined names "Zhao Zhou and Zhou Zhao" are also blunt and hard to hear. Therefore, although the combination of surnames is more popular, it has limitations for many surnames. It's very big, and some of them can't even be called names, so it's not recommended for parents to name their children with this combination.
2. It is easy to affect disputes between parents
Nowadays, most of the children have their father’s surname. If the father’s surname is Wang, the child will also be surnamed Wang. If you use the father’s surname Naming a child with the mother's surname is not suitable for many father's surnames. Just like the parents above, it can easily lead to quarrels between parents over whose surname the child should take. In serious cases, it can also affect parents and the elderly. conflicts between surnames, so it is best not to use this combination with more controversial and conflicting surnames.
3. Homophones are easy to appear.
Chinese words have profound meanings. Sometimes when homophones are connected, they will be upgraded from names to funny words. Let’s take the example just now: Dad Li’s mother’s surname is Zheng, and her child’s name can be “Li Zheng”. Although it looks relatively simple and won’t sound stiff when pronounced, “Li Zheng” has a homophonic sound with “stand at attention” and is easily ridiculed by other children. , causing trouble in the child's childhood, so it is still not recommended to use this naming method.
1. Try to put one word in the middle
In fact, the method of using the father’s surname and the mother’s surname is not completely undesirable. It depends on how to use it. Let’s take the above example. The father’s surname is Li and the mother’s surname is Li. Zheng, you can still call it "Li Zheng" but you can add a word at the end, you can call it "Li Zhengxuan". Adding a word like this will sound nice and not duplicate the name, and it can integrate the father's and mother's surnames. It is very meaningful to enter and it is recommended to use this method.
2. Add a word at the end
If you want your child’s name to be more special and want to incorporate the parents’ surnames, you can also add a word at the end. Avoiding homophones can also make the name more pleasant. Take a celebrity as an example, "Cai Xukun", that is, the father's surname is Cai, and the mother's surname is Xu. It would be awkward to call Cai Xu, but add the word "Kun" at the end. , the name immediately rises to a higher level, so don’t be too restrictive in naming, only divergent thinking will be more meaningful.
2. Try to choose a name with 3 characters.
In fact, in order to prevent their children from having the same name, many parents will give their children some more personalized names, such as "Glory of the King, Liu Xiao" Names like "Lingtong, Spring and Autumn and Warring States", although such names are more creative and not easy to repeat, but with the development of the times, such names will definitely be eliminated, and names with three characters will always be Mainstream, so remember to give your child a 3-letter name.
Conclusion:
A name is very important to a person. A good name is not only pleasant to the ear, but can also leave a good impression on people when they meet for the first time. , but an unpleasant name will make the child lose self-confidence from an early age. At the same time, the name, as a code name, will be printed on the child's ID document and accompany the child throughout his life. Therefore, parents must be serious and cautious when naming.
