Some people like to follow the custom when naming, while others like to be different. In fact, when it comes to naming your baby, generally speaking, as long as you use strange words, you can achieve a unique effect. Let’s briefly talk about the five key points in choosing a good name for your baby:
1. Consider both the surname and the first name. Don’t only consider the first name when changing the name. No matter what, you can find a satisfactory name for your baby regardless of the surname.
2. Simple and easy to remember
As a code name for a person, the name accompanies the person throughout his life and is used extremely frequently. No matter what the situation, your name is your code name. Therefore, a simple and easy-to-remember name not only makes yourself relaxed and labor-saving, but also brings convenience to social interactions.
3. Unique charm
A unique name will often make people remember it for the first time and leave a good impression. For example, the two names Wang Meili and Wang Yuyan basically express the same meaning, both of which mean beauty, but the space for imagination given by these two names is definitely different. The former is too ordinary and tacky, while the latter is subtle, poetic and beautiful. Different names will still give people different feelings, and a unique name will still make you stand out.
4. Smooth pronunciation
When naming your baby, you must pass the pronunciation test. Try to make the name sound loud and smooth, without talking awkwardly, without twisting the tongue, and without homophones. Well, not to be made fun of.
To achieve smooth pronunciation, you should avoid the following:
1. It is best not to use the same or close finals in the names.
2. The second character cannot be the final or consonant of the surname as the name.
3. Don’t make too many plosive sounds. For example, "Pan Anbang" sounds good literally, but it feels weird when you pronounce it.
4. The tone of voice must be varied and the cadences will be powerful.
5. Pay attention to the homophony of names. If the homophony is not good, it will easily make a joke. For example, Zhu Yiqun.
In general, the key is that the name must have good homophony, be loud and easy to remember, be pleasant to the ear, and be convincing, and not make jokes.
5. Uniform strokes
It means that the arrangement and shape of the name are beautiful as a whole. Chinese characters are mostly pictographic characters, and each character has its physical structure and meaning. When naming your baby, you should pay attention to the overall matching of the name. The top, bottom, left and right should be in order, and the number of strokes should not change too much.
