1. Change the name to avoid vulgar characters
Replace the vulgar characters in the original name with homophones or words with similar pronunciation and elegant meaning. For example, replace Yaomei with Xiaomei, replace Guixiang with Guixiang, replace Xiaonan with Xiaonan, etc. Writer Jia Pingwa, formerly known as "Pingwa".

The change of one word makes the pronunciation the same but the shape different, which shows the mentality of the two generations.
2. Changing your name with homophones or near-syllables
It is relatively easy to retain the pronunciation of the original name and change the meaning and writing of the original name to achieve the purpose of name change. Acceptable name change method. Although it is just one or two words, it can often have the effect of turning stones into gold.
3. Change the name to avoid unlucky ones
The famous star Ge You, formerly known as Ge You. Why did you choose such an unlucky name? It turns out that Ge You was a premature baby. He almost killed his mother due to dystocia and was extremely weak after birth. His father was worried about him, so he got the name "Geyou". Later, someone suggested changing it to "Ge You".
Tian Hua, formerly known as "Liu Tianhua". Because when she was born, there was an outbreak of smallpox in the village. In order to prevent her from contracting smallpox, her father named her smallpox according to custom. Later, when Tianpox became an actress, she gradually felt that the name was not very elegant. Finally, with the help of the troupe leader, she changed her name to Tian Hua using the homophony of smallpox.

Avoid using the word “broken” to name the word “broken”
Physical injury or disability is painful. Naming a disabling noble disease is tantamount to uncovering people's scars, which is immoral. Callers and owners will be unhappy if you name them after a disabled person. However, the phenomenon of naming disabled people exists in ancient and modern times. During the Warring States Period, the famous military strategist Sun Bin's original name was Sun Bin. After being tortured to remove his kneecap (ie Bin bone, also written as Bin bone), he changed his name to Sun Bin.
Avoid naming evil words with fierce words
All things that appear ferocious and harmful to human beings should fall into the category of ferocious and bad. Fierceness and badness are people's enemies, and we should do everything possible to eradicate it and overcome it. Naming people with these words is against people's will, is a ridiculous behavior, and should be stopped. For example, Li Dongfu, Flood, Dark Clouds, Huang Tian, ??etc. Some of these names are floods and wild beasts, which threaten people's lives and safety and are enemies of mankind.
Gender should be avoided in naming
This name was originally intended to facilitate people's communication, but there are many people with names that are not three or four, and are not men or women. This naming method of not being a man or a woman, regardless of the original intention, will objectively have a negative impact on interpersonal relationships.
The natural characteristics of temperament and temperament make most women name them with words such as gentleness, beauty, and kindness, while men mainly name them with words that reflect health, unrestrainedness, and majesty. But this does not mean denying the strong side of women and the weak side of men, it is just a general overall image.
Avoid following great people and sages when naming.
Great people and sages are admirable, but this admiration is discriminatory and must be copied from celebrities. name to express.
This behavior itself is just a mechanical application, without creativity, but also whitewashes their original characteristics. Young people should have confidence, not feel inferior or arrogant, worship great men and saints, establish their own life goals, but not blind worship, overcome obedience, promote rationality, and be able to show personal characteristics, connotation of the times and aesthetic taste. What are the considerations when changing a name 3
What are the key aspects to consider when choosing a name:
(1) Don’t use many characters or weird characters
Many characters refer to many strokes Characters with complex structure are troublesome and ugly to write. Therefore, if there are too many complex characters in the name, it will cause an imbalance between black and white, and it will be dark and suffocating, making people feel depressed.
Weird characters refer to characters that are difficult to recognize and read, and are also uncommon characters. Most people don't know such a word, can neither read it nor understand its meaning. Using this kind of word for a name will affect communication and hinder the normal function of the name. Even if the name is artistic and interesting, it can only be a literal symbol in front of most people who do not understand it, and may even cause jokes, misunderstandings, and undue losses. Therefore, when choosing a name, use common words instead of “difficult” words.
In order to avoid duplication of their children’s names with others, many parents choose some traditional Chinese characters that are particularly difficult to write. Although the rate of duplication of names is avoided, many traditional Chinese characters are unknown to everyone.
Moreover, children also spend a lot of time in the process of writing, especially during exams. Children can waste too much time just by writing names. Therefore, when naming a child, it is best not to use traditional Chinese characters. You can consult classics and ancient books, or consult the elderly at home. The name should be simple, easy to remember and easy to write, so that it can be called a good name.
(2) Don’t use homophonic words and tongue twisters
Just like the name of Mr. Fang’s daughter in the case, he didn’t have the name when he named his child. Pay attention to the aspect of homophony, which is why embarrassing things happen to children after they go to school. Therefore, when parents name their children, it is best not to use homophonic words. After writing the name, read it twice to see if there are any homophonic words, such as Alipay, Shi Zhenxiang, etc.
Such a name not only makes the child the laughing stock of his classmates after school, but also causes the child's inferiority complex to become more and more serious. Some children even hate their own names and are hostile to their parents. Therefore, parents must treat the matter of naming with caution and take it seriously.
As for tongue-twisters, I have said that the name should be based on the five characters of one’s birth date and should be combined with good pronunciation and meaning. This does not meet the requirements of “meaning and beauty”, so it should be avoided. However, from ancient times to the present, the phenomenon of using "derogatory" words to name people has emerged one after another, which should be paid attention to.
Let us first take a look at typical examples of naming with "derogatory" words: Xibei, Shenke, Jique, Mengbo Baijianu, Tang Shishao, Zhengba Cai, Zhang Luo Po, Ge Da Fei, Yan Gui Yu, etc. The "derogatory connotations" of these names are clear and can be understood at a glance without explanation.
There is another category that needs a little comment, such as Shi (mis) policy and Hu Du (confusion). Some names are difficult to pronounce and sound, and if you fail to do so, you may mispronounce or hear them incorrectly.
What’s the reason? The name is awkward to pronounce, almost becoming a “tongue twister”. Such as Lingzhoujiu, Shen Jiji, Sunzhouqiu, Xia Yayi, Jin Jingqing, Zhou Xiaochao, Hu Fufen, Geng Jingzhong, Jiang Jiaqiang, Zhang Changshang, Chen Zhenren, Hu Chufu, Chen Yunlin, Lu Lizhi, Fu Zhufu, etc.
(3) Evil and ugly words cannot be used
"Ugly" is the opposite of "beautiful". What we want is a "good name". Of course, we must avoid using words that express "ugly" ” meaning words.
Due to the influence of unscientific, uncivilized stereotypes and backward consciousness, naming with the word "ugly" has a long history in our country and has been passed down to this day. This needs to be seriously eradicated.
Anything that expresses "evil" and is harmful to human beings should be classified as "evil" and "bad". "Evil" and "bad" are people's enemies. We should do everything possible to eradicate them and defeat them.
Using such words to name people is against the will of people. It is a perverse behavior and should be stopped. For example, Li Dongfu, Flood, Dark Clouds, Huang Tian, ??etc.
Some of these names are "flood" and "ferocious beast", which threaten people's lives and safety and are the greatest enemies of mankind.
(4) The word "bad" or "bad" cannot be used.
The word "bad" here includes two meanings. One refers to character, and the other refers to causing "bad" consequences. of.
Naming with these two meanings will cause upright and kind people to feel rebellious, so it is not advisable. Such as Shu Diao, Diao Xie (evil), Tang Ciao, Kuang Ciao, Xiong Yi, Zhao She, Tian Heng, Wu Jian'an, Li Hunzi, etc.
Being injured or disabled is painful. Naming someone after a disability or expensive disease is tantamount to exposing someone's scars. It is unethical. If the name is named after a disability, both the caller and the owner will have an unpleasant feeling.
However, the phenomenon of naming people with disability has existed in ancient and modern times. Sun Bin, a famous military strategist in the Warring States Period, was originally named Sun Bin. He had his kneecap (i.e. patella, also written as Bingu) removed due to torture, and later changed his name to Sun Bin.
(5) The words "suspect" cannot be used
The so-called "suspect" words refer to some words that people are particularly sensitive to, such as turtle, tortoise, bald, donkey, vinegar, sour, Stinky, green scarf, etc.
There are almost no names that use these words directly, but homophones that are transformed into these words still occasionally appear, and this should be avoided. Such as Wu (Wu) Jingui (turtle), Wang Ba (eight), Ye, Lu (green) Jin (jin) Rong, Xiang Shang (top) Tu (bald), Ban Na Lv (donkey), etc.
The so-called "commitment" refers to taking advantage of others. One type is the second predicate used for respecting elders, such as father, uncle, father, father, old, uncle, ancestor, ancestor, girl, mother, Mother, milk, mother-in-law, etc.
Those who use these words to name names that do not express their meaning include Jiafu, Wen Shu, Cheng Bo, Shi Weng, Ji Gong, A Lao, Zheng Guangzu, Lie Zong, Li Fagu, Zhang Yuniang, Yun Sipo, etc. If these names echo each other, it would be suspected of being "committed".
The other category is words used to express official titles, titles and honorifics, such as prime minister, Yin, Ling, Gong, Hou, prime minister, minister, section chief, division commander, company commander, political commissar, Professor, senior engineer, expert, celebrity, manager, gentleman, etc.
(6) Do not use arrogant and wild words.
Don’t use words that are too arrogant or presumptuous when naming. Because arrogance and presumptuousness are manifestations of lack of self-cultivation. It is not only a kind of self-exposure, but also disrespectful to others, which can easily cause disgust.
In ancient times, people named with the word "arrogant" include Qiang Liang, Bawang, Emperor, Zhang Yuanxun, Li Cunba, Shi Wansui, Sun Wanshou, Ruan Wanling, etc.;
In modern times, the word "arrogant" is used. "The names with the characters include Zhenqiu, Guanqiu, Guanxiong, Yuhuan, Zhenqiu, Zhenhuan, Zhenyu, Renjie, Guanying and Tianbao. Therefore, do not use arrogant and unbridled names as "beautiful". That is actually a name. Kind of "ugly", this is why the word "arrogant" should not be used in names.
Thickness and fineness are relative, and wildness and writing are relative. The so-called "rude" words are rough, unprocessed words with a primitive flavor. The name of beauty should be an exquisite and exquisite work of art, and "rough" is incompatible with it.
Using the word "rude" in naming has two double-dealing manifestations: First, the wording is rude, vulgar, and unprocessed. Such as Goudan, Wild Cat, Cowboy, Stone, Heihai, Maomei, etc. Most of these are nicknames, and some are also used as nicknames.
Secondly, although some text processing has been done, there is still a kind of wildness in the words, giving people the impression of being stubborn and unruly. Such as Lei Gong, Yong Jiu, Hu Ni, Li Fu, Tong Hoo, Pei Hong, Lei Yan, Xuan Xiao, Liu Shagui, Wu Dalie, Yu Leiwa, Ren Maoxiao, Ling Zhendian, Liu Heijiao, He Xianqi, etc.
