The name of the younger generation is the same as that of the elder.
The name of the younger generation is the same as that of the elder. A child’s name is the first gift given by parents to their children, but often in life they are given a different character. Names are also a lot of trouble. After all, a good name is a walking business card in a child's life. The names of the younger ones are shared with the elders by one word. The name of the younger generation is the same as that of the elder. 1
When it comes to naming today, it can be said that parents attach great importance to it. In the past, people in rural areas had little culture. Just give a name to distinguish who is who. What? Ergou, Erdan, Sansuo, Sanmei, Erhua and Sixi, just pick one and it will be fine;
But now when rural people have a child born, it is difficult to come up with a name, even Some people pay a high price to be named by a fortune teller, so there is a lot of care in naming. In particular, the name of a junior must not have the same name as an elder, or even have one word in common. The naming of juniors in rural areas brings a lot of conflicts with their elders. It’s embarrassing, so when naming the babies of my friends, I would deliberately avoid using the words used by these close relatives and elders!
(1) In modern naming, younger people cannot have the same character as their elders. Some people say: It’s really difficult to name!
Recently I saw someone on the Internet asking a question:
A relative’s younger generation gave birth to a child, and the name conflicted with my child’s, and he refused to change it. ,what to do?
A seemingly simple question has aroused discussion among many netizens!
Netizens launched a heated discussion on this issue. Some people thought: This is something that doesn’t matter! Nowadays, people don’t care so much about names. As long as they choose a name that sounds good to them, that’s it. The name is just a code name. In fact, it doesn’t require so much attention!
Some people think that it is taboo to name someone with the same name as their elders. Not only can it make a lot of jokes, but it can also be really embarrassing sometimes!
This netizen gives an example: If you name your child the same as your parents or grandparents, see if your parents or grandparents can beat you to death! Or maybe you could just give your child the same name as you?
(2) The embarrassment caused by the conflict between the younger generation and the elders when naming!
A netizen said that my neighbor’s child was named Yuting. It turned out that Yuting’s old grandmother (that is, the grandmother of the child’s parents) was named Meiting. I didn’t know why she named her after her own grandmother. As a result, they would get together for dinner every New Year's Eve. The parents often called their children "Tingting, Tingting". Sometimes they always felt like they were calling her grandma!
Nowadays, everyone’s cultural level is also constantly improving, and they are also very hard-working when it comes to naming. They are also very particular about naming, and they cannot use the same characters as their elders. Therefore, some people say: It is really difficult to choose a name!
Some people even take out their family trees and read through them after giving birth to children, for fear of running into their elders. Some people even get married years in advance before they even have a partner. When planning a name for your future baby, how important is a good name now? Today's names are by no means comparable to the Ergou, Sandan, etc. of the past. To name your child, you have to read various classics and historical materials, or pay someone to name it. It seems that you don't want to give your child a domineering name. I’m too embarrassed to carry him out!
In the past, naming according to seniority was the "rule" in rural areas, but now it has been "abandoned". Nowadays, most rural areas no longer name according to seniority. As long as you can give a good name, it is ok!
It would have been simpler to name according to the previous generation. One character has been fixed, and another character would be enough. However, nowadays, names not only have three characters, but some even imitate foreigners and use four or five characters. A word!
(3) The scientific reason why the names of juniors and elders cannot overlap
1. It will cause embarrassment and ambiguity of duplicate names:
Since ancient times, our Chinese nation has been the most Pay attention to the differences between elders and younger ones. If the names of elders and younger generations overlap, it is easy to cause ambiguity among everyone.
If in the same scene, the elder and the junior have the same name, it will cause the elder to be embarrassed when the junior is called by his name, and it will also make people feel that they have lost the respect of the elder and the junior. So the names cannot overlap.
2. It will cause confusion among elders and juniors:
There are still many places where the concept of ancestral halls exists, which means that the names of elders and juniors will be determined according to seniority. If the elders and juniors The names of the juniors overlap, so wouldn’t it mean that the seniority of the elders and juniors is confused? In other words, doesn’t it mean that we are commensurate with our elders, sisters and brothers? An orderly society with a focus on moral virtues will not occur.
3. It will cause gossip:
Nowadays, most families still cannot accept that the younger generation and the elder have the same name. Once an open family does not pay attention to this, it will cause confusion among the people around them. Such gossip will also cause great harm to the children, so it is better to reduce the number of duplicate names as much as possible. The junior's name has the same word as the elder's 2
1. Can't the name have the same sound as the elder's
In ancient times, when naming a baby junior, it was not allowed to have the same sound as the elder's name. This is an old custom, mainly to show respect for the elders, so it is taboo to avoid names with the same pronunciation as the names of the elders. However, with the development of the times, such ugliness has gradually been eliminated.
In fact, it does not mean that you cannot have accents with your elders. If the elders are from a "well-known family", if you have accents or words with them, not only will there be no hindrance, but you may also be able to gain the blessings of the elders. shade.
Just compare a name to a piece of clothing. If the elders like this dress, the younger generation can also wear it. It does not mean that the younger generation cannot wear it if the elder has worn it. There are no rules.
As long as the name given to the baby is responsible for the child and full of beautiful blessings and visions, it will be fine.
2. Could it be that if the name has the same pronunciation as the family member, it is really easy for the two to conflict with each other?
It’s just to see if the new name has the same characters as the names of the family members. In Chinese tradition, it is considered disrespectful to have the same name as an elder. It can also be regarded as a kind of custom. This is not the case in foreign countries!? The name should be combined with the names of the family members. This is to prevent the name from conflicting with the names of the parents and to avoid the occurrence of adverse effects. The rules of naming are: like each other, avoid each other and restrain each other.
I checked the relevant information. It has been a long time since the juniors’ names have the same accent as their elders, but it is just an old custom. It is to show respect for the elders and avoid them. name and surname. In fact, this custom is no longer so strict in modern times. Some people deliberately use the same name as their elders to express respect for their elders. This is very common in Spanish. For example, Chang Xiangyu’s granddaughter is called Xiao Xiangyu.
When choosing a name, you don’t have to stick to ancient methods. Of course, if the elders cannot accept this, don't be too stubborn. You must respect the elders' opinions and choose another name. It's just to see if the new name has the same characters as the names of family members. In Chinese tradition, it is considered disrespectful to have the same name as an elder. It is also a kind of custom, but it is not the case in foreign countries! When pronouncing the name, A magnetic field will produce sound. A good name is pleasant to the ear, but a bad name will cause interference.
Many artists or writers will choose another name or another font size. If parents plan to choose a name for their baby, Pay attention to whether the name has any indecent homophones in pronunciation, so as to avoid trouble in the future. Combining the name with the names of family members is to prevent the name from conflicting with the parents’ names mathematically and to avoid the occurrence of adverse effects. The rules of naming are: likes and dislikes complement each other, and avoidances conflict with each other. The junior’s name is the same as the elder’s by one character 3
What are the key aspects to consider when choosing a name:
(1) Don’t use many characters or weird characters
Many characters It refers to characters with many strokes and complex structures. Such characters are troublesome to write and look ugly. 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 commonly used 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 used it when naming his child. I didn't pay attention to the homophony aspect, so embarrassing things happened to the children after they went 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 serious disability is tantamount to exposing someone's scars, and 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 "sinful".
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 "rude" is incompatible with it.
Using the word "rude" in naming has two double-dealing manifestations: First, the wording is rude, tacky, 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, the words still reveal a kind of wildness, giving people the impression of being stubborn and unruly. Such as Lei Gong, Yongjiu, 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.
