My cousin has two children, a boy named Chengcheng and a girl named Xiaoyu.
The boy’s name happens to be the word (成) in my father’s name, and the girl’s name is the word (yu) in my mother’s name.
Logically speaking, my cousin’s children should also call my parents grandpa, grandma, right?
I feel that giving a name like this is disrespectful to the elders.
I argued with my cousin and wanted her to change the child's name. My cousin said that our family doesn't pay attention to this.
It is very taboo in my mother-in-law’s house.
When I first got married, my niece gave me a different character in my name. The next day, my sister-in-law and her niece went to the police station and changed my name.
I heard from my sister-in-law that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had the same name. My sister-in-law also changed her name later, and others have called her her name for more than ten years.
According to the old people, names within three generations should not have the same pronunciation, because it would be unlucky and disrespectful to their elders.
It has been handed down in ancient times.
In our modern times, some people still abide by this principle and name their children. They will not name their children with the same pronunciation and words as their elders.
Although there is no scientific basis for saying that it is unlucky for the elders, I still believe it is better to believe it than to believe it has nothing
