First, the common methods of naming girls in China
In ancient times, girls were named mainly to highlight the beauty of women, which was full of "feminine meaning" and "tender feelings", giving people a refreshing, gentle, gorgeous and beautiful feeling. It can be roughly divided into several categories:
1. Named after the word next to the female word, it directly reflects the female color from the font. This is the most basic method. Such as: Chan Juan, Yi Ting, Jiao E, Miao Mei, Yu Nen, etc. Due to the cultural exchange between China and foreign countries, some words in foreign women's names that are easy to be translated into Chinese have also spread, such as Nina, Myna, Lena, Minnie and Eve.
2. In the name of Zhenbao or feminine products. Such as: Baochai, Yuhuan, Emerald, Jinchuan, Pearl, Coral, Linlang, Daiyu, Silver Bottle, etc.
3. Take precious or elegant flowers (grass) and birds as names. People often compare women to flowers and birds to symbolize the innocent, lively and gentle beauty of women. Such as Xiumei, Lotus, Qiuju, Fenglan, Fengxia, Xiaoyan, Oriole and Qiuyan.
4. Name the words that represent colors. Such as: Qingqing, Xiaohong, Cailan and Danxia.
5. in the name of natural phenomena and scenery. Such as: clouds, Hong Ying, rosy clouds, jade frost, Chun Yan, autumn moon, etc.
6. in the name of morality and appearance. The temperament and morality of men and women advocated and praised by society are not consistent. Compared with men, women are gentle, virtuous, elegant, quiet and clean, which will also be shown in their names. Such as: Wan Zhen, Shu Xian, Hui Xian, Wen Qing, Zhi Min, and Dignified.
7. Name the words that express tenderness. Such as: Xi 'er, Ailian, Mochow, Cherish the weak, read kindness, be quiet and so on.
8. Take the name of the word expressing fragrance. Such as A Xiang, Yufen, Ruifang and Fuli.
The traditional naming method can't fully meet the needs of modern people because it is too limited to the taste of boudoir. Today, women's life style and social status have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the function of names has also undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, we should not only inherit the tradition, but also dare to break through it. Here are several ways to name girls, whether ancient or modern, with the aim of achieving novel and unique results.
Second, skillfully use reduplicated words to name
Jin Yong is a very famous writer. The names of heroines in his novels are often as fresh as their looks, and reduplicated words are his common ways, such as Ren Yingying, Yin Susu, Gan Baobao and Xiang Xiang Princess.
The names of reduplicated words are simple and easy to remember, naive and lively, because they are usually read softly, which makes people feel relaxed and intimate. It is a very common way to name them. Such as: Bingbing, Jingjing, Manman, Fangfang, Dandan, Lili, Yingying, Sissy, Feifei, Tingting, Sasha and so on. The disadvantage is that it is easy to duplicate names.
Third, skillfully use children's voice to name
Adding an "er" after a single word is usually used as a birth name, and now it is often used as a name, which is characterized by giving people a sense of femininity and affection. Such as Phyl, Maner, Cher, Rou Er, Linger, etc.
Fourth, skillfully use neutral words to choose names
Skillfully use the names of overlapping words and children's voices, which is simple and easy to do, but it is still more feminine and beautiful. The traditional way of naming girls is mostly based on feminine beauty, aiming at highlighting women's characteristics, but sometimes the opposite can also have special effects.
For example, Zhang Wuling, the father of the "Four Sisters of the Zhang Family" who is quite famous in the history of literature, is a Confucian businessman. He is keen to make friends with educational celebrities like Cai Yuanpei and invest in education. At that time, his four daughters with both talents and looks became the favorite objects of many literati. Later, Zhang Yuanhe, the eldest daughter, married Gu Chuanjun, a famous Kunqu Opera artist; Zhang Yunhe, the second daughter, married Zhou Youguang, a linguist with great achievements; Zhang Zhaohe, the third daughter, married Shen Congwen, a famous great writer; and Zhang Chonghe, the fourth child, married Hans Hermannt Frankel, a German-American sinologist. Interestingly, Zhang Lao's first name for his daughter has "two legs", which means that he is destined to go with others. He is clever and humorous, and there is no trace of boudoir.
Zhang Yunhe, the second sister, once arranged the marriage event between Sanmei Zhaohe and Shen Congwen. After the event was completed, she sent a telegram to Shen Congwen, using only one word, which was half her family's attitude and half her own name. The story of this "half-word telegram" was once a much-told story in the history of literature, and it also made Mr. Zhang's good naming method still talked about by people.
5. Looking for inspiration in ancient books and poems
For naming children, China has always said, "Men's Chu Ci, Women's Book of Songs, the Analects of Confucius and Wu Zhouyi". Some words and expressions in The Book of Songs are used to give names to girls, but they are still fresh today. If used well, they can add a unique bookish atmosphere to people.
Lin Huiyin is a talented woman and is famous for her beauty, which is also reflected in her name. So where does her name come from? Lin Huiyin's original name was Lin Huiyin, and this name was given to her by her grandfather Lin Xiaoyao, who was an academician of the Qing Dynasty. From The Book of Songs? Daya? Si Qi's "Si Qi, the mother of my father. Simei Zhou Jiang, the wife of Jing Shi. If you have a big emblem, you will be a hundred men. " "Huiyin" means reputation. Later, she changed her name to Lin Huiyin in order to distinguish herself from a man named Lin Weiyin, who has a somewhat * * reputation. Lin Huiyin led an honest and clean life and didn't want people to confuse her character with his.
Qiong Yao, a female writer in Taiwan Province, was originally named Chen Zhe, and Qiong Yao is her pen name. "Qiong Yao" means beautiful jade, which comes from The Book of Songs? National wind? "Give it a papaya and repay it with Qiong Yao" in "Papaya" is a love poem describing the giving and answering of men and women. This beautiful name adds a touch of romance to her.
VI. Publicizing individuality and finding another way
With the development of the times, people are more and more inclined to pursue unique individuality. A name with full personality will really leave a deep impression on people. Many famous writers are remembered by the world for their unique pen names, while their real names are often ignored. For example, Sanmao, a very famous female writer in Taiwan Province, has charm not only from words and experiences, but also from her full-featured pen name, and her real name is as plain and unknown as the name itself. Wang Xiaoya, a famous hostess of CCTV, is also very fresh and kind with a very personalized name. There is also the name of Anne Baby, a famous female writer in online writing, which is also very different and unique. I believe that with the development of society, the way we name girls will be more free and open.
