How to name a baby

Methods of naming babies

In daily life, many parents attach great importance to naming their babies. There are many methods of naming babies, some of which are named according to the five elements and eight characters. Let's share the methods of naming babies. Let's take a look. Methods of naming a baby 1

1. Eight-character analysis

Principles of naming a baby:

1. It is easy to recognize, easy to write and has a profound meaning

Names are called by others, so it is necessary to consider whether others know them. Some people's names are so hard to recognize that even school teachers have to look them up in the dictionary. I remember a friend named Zhang Li. When we first met, he told me that the word "Li" was pronounced "pear", but the next day I forgot what this word should contain.

The more esoteric a child's name is, the deeper the more uncommon words are. Actually, uncommon words don't necessarily have profound meanings. The biggest disadvantage of uncommon words is that they are difficult to recognize and sometimes difficult to write. Some people look up "Kangxi Dictionary" when naming their children, and choose words that are difficult to recognize, in order to pursue the profound meaning of the name, but they didn't expect the problem of easy recognition and good writing. The name is too uncommon, which will bring a lot of trouble. First of all, others don't know it. If you mispronounce it, you may make a joke. And if a child's name has too many strokes, it will be difficult for the child to write the name.

Names should have certain connotations. Good names generally have good meanings, so the meaning of names is also very important.

2. Names cannot be ambiguous

It is understandable that some people give their children names without paying attention to meaning; But sometimes because of carelessness, the meaning of the name is not appropriate. For example, if a person's surname is Duan and his lover's surname is Salary, he will name his child Duan Salary. It is easy to misunderstand that a salary cut is a salary cut or firewood. This is not good, salary and firewood can never be broken.

For example, some people pronounce the name Yin Jian as "Yin Jian". His name is easy to derive different meanings from the same word; Not only can there be no ambiguity in word meaning, but also there can be no ambiguity in pronunciation.

3. Have standardized words

Use standardized words for children's names, not self-made words. In the past, some people used self-made words to name their children, which had little influence in the lead type era, but now it is the computer age, and there are no self-made words in computers, which will bring a lot of trouble. Doing a notarization, passport, ID card and so on, will encounter great trouble.

4. Phonetic requirements for names

In addition to being easy to recognize, names should also conform to the pronunciation rules of Chinese characters, that is, they should be catchy to read, not like tongue twisters. Generally speaking, if the first word of a two-character name is rising or falling, the second word should be flat.

Three-word names have higher phonetic requirements. If the four tones are not arranged well, they will not read well. For example, all three words are voiced, such as Shen Haigeng, which is awkward to read, as if you can't read them all at once.

The eight characters are the year, month, day and hour of everyone's birth. The first step of naming is to analyze the eight characters, know what is missing and find out the favorite god. This is the most critical core, and the good or bad prediction and naming of all names are based on this.

second, the five elements

the five elements are the wood, fire, earth, gold and water that are often mentioned in Zhouyi. All kinds of things in the Book of Changes can be distinguished by five elements, such as trunk branch, earthly branch, season, orientation, human body, color, taste and so on. The five elements have the characteristics of mutual generation and mutual resistance. Many things can be judged by the operation of the five elements to understand the rise and fall of elements, and to judge the ups and downs of things and the good or bad of your life.

three, three talents

the configuration of three talents is heaven, man and earth. China traditional culture understands that people are based on the earth, under the sky, blessed by heaven and nourished by the earth, and live endlessly. There is also a philosophy of acting in line with the weather, geographical location and human harmony. In the process of naming, there are many names that are good in mathematics, but the three talents are not well configured, and most of them will have repeated luck, be hindered by things, and have bad feelings and wealth. The allocation of three talents occupies a great weight in the study of names.

four or five-grid configuration

five-grid configuration refers to the relationship among five grids: celestial grid, terrestrial grid, personality, external grid and total grid. Tiange is passed down from ancestors, and its appearance alone has little influence on life; Personality is the center of name segmentation and mathematics, which has the greatest influence on life; The combination of personality and geography is based on mathematics. The geography is mainly the life before the age of 36, also known as the former transportation capacity. The outer grid represents the periphery of people, and good or bad luck is meaningless. The overall situation is the life after 36 years old, and it is also the post-capacity. Five-grid configuration plays an important role in nomology. Methods of naming your baby 2

Tips for naming your baby 1. Prepare in advance.

once walking, standing on the busy overpass on the Second Ring Road, the husband who loves his car said with infinite emotion, "When can I have my own car?" I love children and say, "When can I have my own lamp, my own window and my own children crawling all over the bed?" At that time, colleagues in the unit often called the children downstairs at dinner time, and "jingle-"and "leopard-"dragged their tails and were happy. My idea is to make full use of the national policy and have a pair of twins, preferably boys, who are full of energy and vitality at home all day. The nickname is "big pong and small pong". If you have the ability to give birth to triplets, add a "bare light", which means that there are men at home, and the movement is not small. When I was pregnant, experienced mothers unanimously judged that I was pregnant with a boy. After I heard the loud cry of the child by caesarean section, I asked the doctor if it was a man or a woman, but he asked me, "Do you want a boy or a girl?" I didn't know it was a baby girl until I entered the ward after coming down from the operating table, so the names of the three boys, Pong Pong and Guangguang, were useless.

2. Look up the dictionary-the most basic and common method.

I've heard that some people are troublesome when naming names, so they open the dictionary and point on a page, and that's the word. I'm not so casual, but I also looked up several word dictionaries. Because my husband's surname is Wang, when I named my child, I wanted to bring an oblique jade edge, rummaged through the dictionary, and picked out more than a dozen ones that I liked, which were meaningful and catchy to read, such as: yue (sound Yue, beautiful jade) jue (sound Ju, two pieces of jade together), Xun (sound gong, big jade), lang (sound Yue, beautiful jade). I also explained them to my husband who studied science and engineering. But his reaction is: the child hasn't been seen yet, so what's the name in a hurry?

3. Quote classics.

I admire China's traditional culture very much. I read The Analects of Confucius by Nan Huaijin, a Taiwan Province scholar, which inspired me a lot. Among them, China's five words about men's morality in ancient times were summarized as "courage, wisdom and courtesy", which described that a successful man should be brave, intelligent and noble, versatile and knowledgeable. Because my husband's name has already taken up the word "courage and wisdom", greedy I want to have all the good things and name my dream twin son "Qingyi, Qingli". It's a pity that a beautiful girl was born. Let's keep the names of the two boys.

4. brainstorm.

Disadvantages, there are too many alternative answers in the final decision, so it is difficult to choose.

Grandpa is a pedant, and he can draw couplets by himself and write them well in Chinese calligraphy. For naming, I bought a book named Daquan. According to the scheduled birth time (summer of July 29th, 22) and place (Xi 'an, Shaanxi), I drew up several good names: Xia Xin (a new life born in summer is thriving), Xia Jun, Feng Chao (a hundred birds flock to the phoenix, Fengming Chaoyang) and Li Jun (born in the Year of the Horse). Unfortunately, they were all rejected one by one. Xia Xin, it sounds like Amoi TV VCD;; Fengchao, it's still Nestle Coffee! Lijun, with the same name as Teresa Teng; Grandma believed in the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi, and asked for a professional name according to birthdates and Five Elements. What was the first word 12 and the second word 5? She was named Wang Hesheng, but her husband denied it in one sentence. "How do you look like a child with a surname of Wang and a surname of He? (My surname is Qi) ". Grandma made persistent efforts and continued to provide high opinions, saying that Han (Yin Han, the ancient people called the budding lotus Han) is noble and noble, and it is also a seasonal flower in summer. The word "Qi" means blessing, so it is good to name it "Han Qi". Dad also said that homophonic is not good, like a "dry flag."

5. Celebrity effect.

Grandpa greatly admired Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi, and he also loved the name "Hanzhi". Want to copy it to my granddaughter. But grandma objected, on the grounds that as a woman, Zhang Hanzhi's fate was too bumpy and unfortunate, and she was afraid that using the same name would bring misfortune to her granddaughter.

6, whimsy, whimsical.

One of my colleagues is one week away from my due date. When it comes to naming, she joked, "Combining my husband's surname with mine is a wonderful name, and it will never be repeated." -Her surname is Wang, and her husband's surname is Jiang, and she is going to call her child Jiang Dynasty. Inspired, I combined my husband's and wife's surnames, but I didn't call them "Wang Qi" directly. I can't use Chen Yi's revolutionary poem "Chengtou Transform King Banner" as my name. After thinking hard, my mother used a clever homophonic word "Han" to combine their surnames, Wang Hanqi, which just confirmed the famous marriage metaphor: children are the zipper of marriage, so let them witness the harmony of their parents.

7. Pronunciation is very important.

Names are a stage to show parents' knowledge, which comprehensively reflects parents' knowledge, pursuit and taste. However, we should avoid the words that are too difficult and biased. Imagine how embarrassed and depressed a child would be if he was called wrong by the teacher from kindergarten to college! The teacher is not perfect, and it is impossible to know all Chinese characters. If the teacher doesn't let your child get up to answer questions or ignore your child at all in order to avoid making a mistake, isn't the kindness of parents in vain? Mother proudly named the twins "Yi Yi (pronounced" Yi Yi ") and Yi Yan (pronounced" Yi Yan ")", and the girl innocent girl and the boy had their own opinions. However, after a small-scale investigation, nine times out of ten people read "Wei" as "Wei". The original intention of the word "Xian" is beautiful, but it always tastes bad to be mispronounced, so I reluctantly give up.

8. Conventional practice.

Combine common words according to girls' characteristics and social roles. Such as: Jing Yi (the meaning of elegance and joy), Yiran, Xiujie (beautiful and noble), such as Jing, Ru Yan, Yan Jing, Zi Jing, Yan Ni. Although these words are good, they are all so common that you can tell they are girls at a glance. Mom and dad also want to get a neutral name, not too feminine. So they were all abandoned.

Considering the mood of the old people on both sides, my husband and wife had to adopt a compromise plan, using the word "Qi" proposed by my grandfather (the meaning of extraordinary beautiful jade), using the homophonic word "Han" proposed by my grandmother, and adding my mother's careful explanation, "Wang Hanqi" was passed.

The final result is that after a long time and countless long-distance calls, seven or eight people from the two places, represented by my mother, grandfather and grandmother, worked together to choose the name "Hanqi" as a compromise at the final deadline for applying for an account. The dramatic effect is that when registering for the household registration, the computer statistics showed that there were more than 5 newborns in Xi 'an alone when wang xing used the word "Qi"! It seems that each family has gone through the same process when naming. I wanted to be original, but I still can't avoid it.
