In fact, some parents think that choosing a name is easy to answer. Hold a dictionary in your hand to look up the meaning, and you can use it if it has a good meaning, without thinking too much. However, people who have studied names will know that there are actually many taboos in naming. These taboos may all be pits, and they will fall in if they are not careful. The following naming network has specially compiled five taboos for everyone, hoping to provide some help for your parents.
taboo 1
when naming a name, you must not use that kind of word that is very roundabout. The whole name reads like a tongue twister. Such words are also a big taboo for baby names, and it is very difficult to read, such as Jin Jingqing and Zhang Changshang. Especially for those who are not good at Mandarin, it may be a little difficult to pronounce this name.
Taboo 2: Using grandparents' names
This is something that many parents usually don't notice. Because grandparents have been too long to remember their names clearly, some people may accidentally rename their baby names and group names. If the name previously used by the ancestors is used by the baby, it will be detrimental to the respect for the elders, so this is also a big taboo. I have a relative whose child's name is accidentally homophonic with his great-grandfather's name, and immediately changed it to another name.
Taboo 3 uses indecent homonyms
Some children's names look particularly elegant, but a careful reading of their homonyms leads to many jokes, such as Yu Wen (crow's feet), Bi Xia (Your Majesty), Tao Huayun (Peach Blossom), He Shang (Monk) and Fan Tong (Useless). These homophones can easily become nicknames in other people's mouths, and children with low self-esteem may be hurt internally. At the same time, it will also give people a sense of elegance, like a derogatory term.
Taboo 4 Avoid using polyphonic characters
Many Chinese characters belong to polyphonic characters. If they are used in the baby's name, different people will pronounce them differently. This makes it impossible to unify children's names. I used to have classmates with the polyphonic word "Qian" in their names. Some people called them Qian, while others called them Xi, which made it difficult to unify them. However, we used to call her by their customary name, but this multi-tone name will still bring a lot of inconvenience in the future, so try to use it less.
Taboo 5 Avoid using the names of typical people in literary works
Some parents may be infatuated with a classic figure in a literary work, even to the point where they can't extricate themselves. Therefore, I can't wait to give my children the names in my works, such as Lin Daiyu, Pig Bajie, the Monkey King and Meng Jiangnv. Don't apply such a name directly, and don't let the child's life be tied to another character, sometimes it will bring unnecessary trouble.
after the taboo, I have compiled some nice names, and welcome everyone to collect them.
