1. Avoid vulgarity
Coarse and fine are relative, and vulgar and literary are relative. The so-called "rough" words are rough, unprocessed words with an original flavor. The name of beauty should be a delicate and exquisite work of art, and "crude" is incompatible with it. There are two main manifestations of naming with the word "vulgar":
(1) The wording is rude, vulgar and unprocessed. Such as Goudan, Wildcat, Cowboy, Stone, Heihai, Maomei, etc. Most of these are nicknames, and some are also used as nicknames.
2. Avoid Westernized names
Don’t use Westernized names. We are descendants of the Yan and Huang people. We have our own morals, ethics, and culture. We are a large nation in the world. Our names should have national characteristics and should not be given foreign names, such as John, Mary, Lisa and other foreign names. . When the children grow up, it will bring inconvenience to the relationship.
3. Avoid arrogance and arrogance
Don’t be 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. Being modest and prudent is a virtue of the Chinese people. An arrogant person, no matter how capable he is, will always be attacked from all sides and at a disadvantage. Names such as "Unique", "Superman", "Superman" and "Invincible" can easily cause consequences in this regard.
4. Avoid using certain unlucky animal names
The names of certain animals are not suitable (except for nicknames). Such as: flies, lice, rats, wolves, jackals, pigs, chickens, ducks, snakes, scorpions...etc. However, some animal names are often included, such as tiger, leopard, pigeon, swallow, wild goose, etc.; they are named Ma Jinbao, Li Wenhu, Wang Pingge, Zhao Xiaoyan, Feng Jinyan, etc.
5. Avoid using titles that express seniority
Appellations that express seniority are generally not included in names (except for nicknames), such as: Ye, Nai, Dad, Dad, Mom, Grandson, son,...etc. However, some title characters are often included in the names, such as ancestor, sister, sister, and brother; the names are Zhang Jizu, Li Nianzu, Wang Zugui, Gu Xiaomei, and Yang Sanjie. With the name "ancestor", there are often matching words. These matching words are all specific words that are related to the ancestors by the descendants, which express the respect, nostalgia and inheritance of the ancestors by the descendants. It is a taboo to include other disrespectful words. There are exceptions to the word "er", such as Wei Dao'er, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty, Pei Luo'er, a court musician in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Wan'er, the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi in the Tang Dynasty.
6. Avoid using derogatory words that refer to women
Words that are related to women but also have derogatory meanings are not suitable for use in names. Such as: whore, prostitute, whore, slut, disgusting...etc.
7. Avoid naming typical people in literary and artistic works
The names of typical characters in literary and artistic works are also mostly not given by future generations. The names of some typical figures, like some famous historical figures, have become household names. Such as: Qin Xianglian, Meng Jiangnu, Hua Mulan, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng, Sun Wukong...etc.
8. Avoid using the word "excessive"
"Excessive" means exceeding the "measurement" and exceeding the appropriate "degree". There are two common situations: one is "excessive" self-bragging, resulting in "self-bragging" with poor results, such as Chen Wance, Bu Wanke, Guan Wandi, and Li Wanchun. These "ten thousand" words are obviously exaggerated and disturbing. Unbelievable; Chen Zhutian, Sun Tianzhu, He Chengtian, these names obviously over-exaggerate their role and power. The other type is self-effacement that goes too far, resulting in "self-mutilation" and "self-deprecation." Humility should have a limit, that is, it cannot violate the principle of "seeking truth from facts"; if it violates this principle, it will go to the opposite side; such as: Wang Zhuo, Liu Yi, Zhong Chi, Yu Yu. Do they really think they are clumsy, pedantic, stupid, stupid? Of course not. You don't think so in your heart, but you want to use it as a name and a sign to go out in the world. What kind of behavior is this? If it’s not “hypocrisy”, it means “deception”. Anyway, it’s not seeking truth from facts. Therefore, "clumsy, circuitous, foolish, stupid" are not necessarily "self-effacing" words, and need to be analyzed in detail based on the specific situation.
9. Avoid using convoluted words and phrases
Some names are difficult to pronounce and sound, and if you fail to do so, you may mispronounce or hear them incorrectly. Why? The wording used in the name is difficult to pronounce, almost becoming a "tongue twister".
Such as Lingzhoujiu, Shen Jiji, Shusunzhouqiu, Hu Chufu, Chen Yunlin, Lu Liyi, Fu Zhufu, etc. Avoid naming with "tongue-twisting" characters, mainly meaning that you don't use double-tone or overlapping rhymes in naming. Once you master this rule, you can do it as long as you implement it carefully when naming.
10. Avoid using traditional characters
"Traditional" characters refer to characters with many strokes and complex structures. Such characters are troublesome to write and look ugly. Too many complex characters in the name will cause an imbalance between black and white, making it dark and suffocating, making people feel depressed.
Avoid using characters with too many strokes: Our Chinese characters range from one stroke to twenty or thirty strokes. Words with too many strokes are inconvenient to write. If a primary school student is asked to write dozens of strokes of words as soon as he starts school, it will not only be a wasteful burden for him, but will also cause him trouble and headache in writing. As far as adults are concerned, having too many numbers in their names can do more harm than good.
11. Avoid using uncommon words
Names are tools for dealing with others. Try to use words that everyone can recognize and read, rather than using words that are too uncommon.
12. Avoid using the same radical characters
The radicals of the three characters are exactly the same. For example, Jiang Langyou, He Xinren, and Guo Yubang feel this way.
13. Avoid names with indecent homophonics
The names should be pronounced loudly and smoothly, and should not be pronounced lifelessly or even hard to pronounce. In particular, names with indecent homophones should not be used, such as "Zhu Shi" "" is a homophone for "pig shit", "cypress" is a homophone for "losing money", "Ding Huishi" is a homophone for "will surely die", etc.
14. Avoid shallow exposure
It is best to be more subtle when choosing a name. Names similar to "millionaire", "great", "talented", "hero", etc. are too If it is exposed, it will easily cause resentment and is not a good name.
15. Avoid using platter characters
Some names are not made after careful consideration, repeated deliberation, and careful selection of words and phrases, but are made up of random words. , like a "platter", it has the following characteristics: (1) The central meaning is unclear, such as Tianchuan flow. (2) The combination of words is disharmonious, such as Chen Gangqiang. (3) There are contradictions and confusions between words, such as Lin Senhuo.
For some names, the meanings of the surname and the given name are out of touch or even contradictory, resulting in semantic contradictions and confusion. For example, Mao Iron Bridge, how do "Mao" and "Iron Bridge" match? Qi is like a mountain, "flat mountains" is meaningless, and "tidy as mountains" seems to make no sense. The relationship between "Qi" and "mountain" is not easy to reconcile. Sheep's tongue and tiger, "sheep's tongue" and "tiger" or " It is impossible for "sheep" and "tiger" to coexist. Such a name goes against common sense and is a typical "hash".
16. Avoid using negative words
There are generally three types of negative words: one is the delicate type, which is as thin and thin as the grass in the cracks of the rocks, which is pitiful. Lu Shoyan, Zhou Shojuan, Qin Shoou, Chen Qiucao, Xue Yongruo, Lei Ruoer, Qiu Ruo, etc. are representatives of the delicate type. The second is the melancholy type, which is bitter and sad, sad and lonely, with a sour heart, which makes people lament. Duguyu, Huang Lianru, Han Daidang, Ziju, Yangu, Guzhu, Guoai, Pang Huang (wandering), etc. are representatives of the sad type. The third is the gloomy type, with the howling cold wind, vast hoarfrost, heavy haze, and a bleak future, which is depressing. Lu Jue, Sun Mo, Zhang Jie, Sun Yi, Jiang Hui, Pu Ji, Yan Shuang, Fei Ming, Zhou Lanyu, Xie Niannan, Xu Xijian, etc. are representatives of the gray type. A good name should have educational, inspiring, aesthetic and educational effects. Therefore, naming with a "negative" word cannot become a "good name". We should learn this lesson.
17. Avoid using polyphonic characters
There is a phenomenon of polyphonic characters in one character. There are only 3,500 commonly used Chinese characters, including 250 polyphonic characters. These polyphonic characters have at least two pronunciations: "gin" has three pronunciations: (visit), (candifference), and (ginseng). Such as: Wang Chaowen, Zhou Changxing, Zhang Chongcan. When to pronounce the A sound and when to pronounce the B sound, it must be judged according to the language environment.
Therefore, considering the convenience of most pronunciations, it is better to avoid using polyphonic words in naming. Note, never use two polyphonetic words to name a word. It will add trouble to trouble and make the pronunciation difficult to deal with.
For example, "Perimeter Xing", this name can be read in four ways. How can this happen?
18. Avoid using gender-neutral names
The "alienation" here means that women are given typical male names and men are given typical female names, causing gender confusion in names. A good name should reflect personality characteristics and facilitate social communication. "Alienated" names do not meet these requirements and should not be promoted.
In real life, there are indeed some people with special personalities and temperaments: men have a soft personality, quiet temperament, and delicate style, and have a feminine style; women have a strong personality, rough temperament, and aggressive style, and have a masculine style. Qi. For such people with characteristics of the opposite sex, it is okay to name them to show their personality traits, but they must be moderate and cannot be completely "alienated". Complete "alienation" is unrealistic, harmful and unhelpful.
Names with obvious "alienation" tendencies are when men are named with words such as red, color, flower, fragrant, quiet, and phoenix; for women, they are named with xiong, heroic, strong, great, flying, and dragon. Named with words like that. Completely "alienated" names are when men are named with the characters "female" and "mei", etc.; while women are named with the characters "nan", "lang" and "han". Such male names include: Wang Caifeng, Huo Caihong, Zhao Jimei, Lin Wenfang, Xue Peizhen, Cao Ruyu, Hou Shunxiang, Yu Shuhua, Diaofengyu, Yin Xueman, Luo Linmei, etc. Such female names include: Zhu Zhihao, Ma Xianfeng, Xu Linxia, ??Xie Aman, Yan Hongwei, Liu Hucheng, Zhang Longdi, Ding Jiafei, Li Lie, Yu Lei, Miao Linlang, etc.
19. Avoid naming "ugly" words, things or phenomena
For example, Zhang Chou, Lu Chou, directly use the word "ugly" to name them.
Pigs and dogs are ugly, dirty and often used to represent lowly domestic animals. In some places, when cursing people, they say: So-and-so is worse than a pig or a dog. It can be seen that pigs and dogs are representatives of ugly things, but in some places, "pig and dog" are used as people's names. This is obviously influenced by the backward consciousness of "a cheap name can lead to a long life". This practice is extremely disrespectful to the master and a stain on the person's name and culture, and should be resolutely eradicated. For example, modern people still have names like Ningzhugou, Guogougou, Zhao Agou, Zhou Lvju, Jiamaohou, etc. This is extremely inconsistent with today's social trends of civilization and beauty.
Named after the disgusting caterpillar. Such as gnat lice, sweet flies, Zhong Hui, Tang worms, Zhang Hao, Mei Chong'er, Wang Shu, Xu Mo, etc.
Named after unpleasant animals. Evil birds such as Donghu, Haicai, and Owl.
Named after an unpleasant social phenomenon. Such as cattle prisons and fences. Fanli refers to a bird cage, which is a metaphor for a situation where there is no freedom.
20. Avoid using the word "evil" in names
The naming of "evil" and "evil" is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, the use of the word "epidemic" in naming , in the past, acne, Xu Dian, Shi Chi, Su Tu Tu Nu, Wang Zhu, Chen Guo, etc. were used. These names not only indicate physical illness, but also cause mental stress and make people rarely smile. The second is to use the word "misfortune" in naming, such as Yuan Ji, Zhu Xie, Guo Laohu, Xu Chihu, Wang Zhi, Flood, Wuyun, Huangtian, etc. Some of these names are "flood" and "ferocious beast", which threaten people's lives and safety and are the greatest enemies of mankind.
21. Avoid using the word "evil"
The word "evil" here includes two meanings, one refers to moral character, and the other refers to causing "evil" consequences. Naming with these two meanings will offend honest and kind people, so it is not advisable. For example, Jian Diao, Diao Xie (evil), Tang Ciao, Kuang Ciao, Xiong Yi, Zhao She, Gu Que, Wu Jian'an, Li Hunzi, etc. are named with the word "bad" character.
Names that indicate "bad" consequences, such as Cui Yao, Chen Wan, Min Sun, Zhao Shui, Yang Qi, Pu Qiong, Ye Guang, Tian Wu, Kong Wei, Ying Zhong, Hanpian, Zhou Gong Zu, Kong Wenggui, Guo Guifu, Guo Zechen, Chen Dabei, Xiong Fuji, Bi Zuxu, etc. Some of these names end in death, which is depressing; some are "declined" and "sink", with low mood; some are "poor" and "poor", with difficult survival; some are "sad" and "abandoned" with consequences Embarrassing. Such a name can easily give people a sense of decadence, depression, and lack of energy and inspiration, so it is not advisable.
22. Avoid using the word "suspect"
The so-called "suspect" word refers to some words that people are particularly sensitive to, such as turtle, tortoise, bald, donkey, vinegar, sour, smelly , Green Turban, etc. There are almost no names that use this type of character directly, but there are still occasional cases where homophonic sounds are transformed into this type of character, and this should be avoided. Such as Wu (Wu) Jingui (turtle), Wang Ba (Ba)ye, Lu (Lv) Jin (jin) Rong, Xiang Shang (top) Tu (bald), Ban Zhilu (donkey), etc.
23. Avoid using derogatory words
As mentioned before, a name should have beautiful sounds, meanings, and shapes. Naming with "derogatory" words does not meet the requirements of "righteousness and beauty", so it should be avoided. However, throughout the ages, the phenomenon of using "derogatory" words to name people has emerged one after another, which should be noted.
Let us first take a look at typical examples of naming with "derogatory" words: Xibei, Shenke, Jique, Menghou, Renbi, Wenwu, Hanan, Diaoshai, Seriousness, Wenyu , Jia Hun, Bai Jia Nu, Tang Tu Shao, Deng Bacai, Zhang Luo Po, Ge Da Fei, Evil Monster Fool, etc. The "derogatory meaning" of these names is clear and can be understood at a glance without explanation. There is another category that needs a little comment, such as Ming (Historical) Ce and Hu Du (Confused). Guo (Guo) Fan, Wu (Wu) De, Wei Zhang (violation of regulations), Ye Guang (leaves have fallen off), stereotypes (bad habits), etc.
24. Avoid using the word "suspecting people" in names
The so-called "suspecting people" refers to being suspicious of others' advantages. Names are used for calling, and some words are used as names. When A calls, B responds. In each call and response, B takes advantage of A. This can easily cause unnecessary disputes or psychological barriers, affecting normal social interactions. Such words should be avoided when naming.
There are two main types of words that are likely to have the effect of "earning people": one is the title words used for respecting elders, such as father, uncle, uncle, Weng, Gong, Lao, ancestor, ancestor, aunt, Mother, mother, milk, mother-in-law, etc. Those named with these words include Jiafu, Wen Shu, Cheng Bo, Shi Weng, Ji Gong, A Lao, Zheng Guangzu, Lie Zong, Li Fago, Zhang Yuniang, Yun Sipo, etc. These names, if echoed, are suspected of "making money". The other type is words used to express official titles, professional titles and honorific titles, such as prime minister (prime minister).
25. Avoid naming names after great people and sages
Revering great people and admiring sages is a positive spirit, but this is two different things from naming someone after a great person or sage. Some people think that naming after great men and sages is a sign of respect for great men and admiration for sages, but this is not the case. To revere great men, one should learn from their thoughts, character and spirit; to admire sages, one should be named after sages. This in itself lacks the "creative spirit" and is inconsistent with the teachings of great men and sages.
26. Avoid "tacky" naming.
The "tacky" mentioned here includes two aspects: First, the cliché in thinking, such as the old one that has been used, the name still revolves around Wandering in circles with the pursuit of fortune, wealth, happiness, benevolence, longevity and health, honoring the ancestors, etiquette, justice, integrity, loyalty and virtue, gold, silver and jewels, scales of dragons, tigers and phoenixes, the fragrance of flowers and orchids, etc., one cannot find a new path. Second, the name is based on common words and proverbs, which lacks freshness. Such as Gaoshan, Gaofeng, Huaxiaxia, Shangqiu, Tang poetry, Zhangfa, normal, Xuanxu, happiness, seriousness, application, Jingcheng, Liao Dejin, Liu Penzi, Bi Xiushao, Shang Dajie, Xu Shanxin, Jin Rushan, Gao Liansheng, Malanhua, etc. .
27. Avoid "omissions" when naming.
The so-called "omissions" refer to loopholes and legacy problems caused by poor consideration when naming, that is, "sequelae" . There are two common types of "sequelae": (1) Chinese characters have multiple meanings. When naming names, they often focus on one and forget the other, resulting in "omissions" in other semantic aspects. Such as horse hoof disease. This name is an allusion to Meng Jiao of the Tang Dynasty: "The spring breeze is so exciting that horses' hoofs are so bad that they can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." In the poem, "disease" means lightness, reflecting the proud mood of those who "passed the exam". However, if three words are taken out separately and used as a name, the context changes and the understanding is allowed to be different. Another meaning of "disease" is "disease". From this perspective, this name is very unlucky. (2) Borrowing words from idioms for direct names without carefully elaborating on the meaning of the idioms, resulting in a bad tendency in the "semantics" of the names. This is another kind of "omission".
For example, someone is named "Huang Liang". In fact, "Huang Liang's dream" is a derogatory idiom.
28. Avoid using words whose language or homophony is not beautiful
The pronunciation or homophony is not beautiful, which mainly refers to the following situations: Wu Ben is named after the country, which is historical. Surname. However, because its pronunciation is similar to "无", it is easy to escape from the homophony when forming words, resulting in a catchy meaning. Such as "Wu Li" - rude. Therefore, there are certain restrictions when naming the surname Wu. It is best not to directly combine words with words such as benevolence, justice, propriety, Zhixin, bright light and squareness, peace and tranquility, health and joy, virtue, virtue, fortune, longevity and crystal star. In other words, when naming the surname Wu, the choice of characters should be carefully considered, and characters that should be avoided should be avoided as much as possible, so as not to leave any "sequelae" and cause trouble or unhappiness to the owner of the name.
The second factor is the unsatisfactory semantics, which means that among the polysemous surnames, some of the meanings are derogatory or show derogatory meanings in use.
29. Avoid having the same name as most people
Try to overcome the herd mentality and never follow the "fashion" and have the same name as others. You need to be thoughtful, original, and unique. You must have the spirit of "never give up if your name is not amazing" to come up with a good name that is unique.
30. It is taboo to use the names of ancestors in naming.
In ancient Han people, it was generally taboo to use the names of ancestors when naming. There are two reasons for this: First, the Han nationality attaches great importance to seniority. Taking the names of ancestors will disrupt the order of generation; at the same time, it will also be regarded as disrespectful to the ancestors. The second is determined by the pattern of Chinese surnames and names. To give a Chinese name, first inherit the surname, and then give a name (single or double name) that only represents the person. Unlike some ethnic minorities or foreigners, people have their given name, their father's name, or their given name plus their mother's surname and father's surname. For example, the name of the Uighur people in my country is usually composed of the real name followed by the father's surname; the French name usually has three parts, that is, the real name, the mother's surname, and the father's surname. After a Chinese name inherits the father's surname, if the ancestor's name is added to it, there will be no difference at all between the two.
31. Avoid using words that indicate filth and uncleanness in names.
Some words that indicate filth and uncleanness are generally not used in names. Such as: dirty, feces, urine, fart, phlegm, nasal mucus...etc. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, some people or some areas have the custom of giving their children "mean names", "ugly names", and "dirty names" in order to prevent the children from being visited by diseases and demons, so as to avoid disasters. Misfortune, longevity. In fact, this is a kind of superstition, and it is mostly popular in remote areas and areas lacking culture.
32. Avoid using words that indicate disease in naming.
Some words that indicate disease and ominousness are generally not included in the font size. Such as: disaster, difficulty, evil, evil, misfortune, misfortune, scabies...etc. But there are exceptions. For example, there was the famous general Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun was named "Bi Ji" at the beginning, and there was the famous poet and patriotic general Xin Qibing in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, "getting rid of disease" and "abandoning disease" mean not to be sick or to be ill, and are the negation of "disease" and "disease". But I don’t know what the “sick self” meant when it first started. Does it refer to the sixth position of the Heavenly Stem, or does it refer to myself? When the former is sick in oneself, the latter is sacrificing oneself for others - if one is sick of oneself, one also wants to sick others? But he changed his name after all.
33. Avoid naming human body organs
Most organs of the human body cannot be named (except for nicknames). Such as: eyes, nose, tongue, face, throat, mouth, feet, arms, legs, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, spleen...etc. But some are also named, or even often named. For example, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Prime Minister of Zhao was named Zhang Er, and during the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu was named Xiong Xin.
34. Avoid using special symbols
Special symbols include punctuation marks, mark symbols, self-created symbols, etc.
