Every parent hopes to give their child a unique gift when they are born - a unique and good name.
When the eldest son was born, his right to name was taken away by his parents-in-law because of his indecision, so a very contemporary local name was born - Niuniu! So no matter what, I had to do it myself when it came to naming my second child. Not long after I got pregnant, I started thinking about how to give my baby a shocking, unforgettable, literary, or refreshing nickname. Too much thought).
However, when the book is used, I will regret it less. The sleepy and fatigued pregnancy period always provides a good reason for me to delay thinking of names.
When I was seven or eight months pregnant, the uneasy element of naming began to take root in my heart like a seed, making me have to think of it all the time. I wanted to put it away but never forgot it.
At this time, I naturally thought of looking for inspiration on the Internet first, switching from Baby Tree to Little Red Book. There were so many good names that I was dazzled and had no idea where to start.
The second child’s due date is New Year’s Eve, and I don’t know whether it is a pig or a rat. I heard that each zodiac sign has its favorite roots and radicals. In the same way, inappropriate radicals are also used. There would be conflicts and taboos. I suddenly felt that naming was a particularly huge project, so the idea of ??"waiting until I was born" was brewing in my mind.
I was about to give birth, and I even forgot about it for a while. After all, it was just a nickname.
The child’s father is busy every day, so she can’t count on him for this matter. Men's Songs of Chu, women's Book of Songs. Following this line of thought, I ignored the exhaustion and fatigue during pregnancy. I took a dictionary and a translator and read the poem from beginning to end. I prepared myself for the college entrance examination and worked hard all night long.
After a month, I finally sorted out ten names that I am very satisfied with, and they are full of meanings. At that time, I felt that my whole body was exuding the brilliance of maternal love, and I felt that my knowledge base was much richer for my baby.
When I presented my name to the child’s father like a treasure and asked him to participate in the evaluation, he acted like an emperor choosing a concubine:
“This is not deep, I don’t like it. ."
"This is too rigid and not suitable for a baby girl."
"This is not easy to pronounce."
Several names were rejected one by one. He vetoed.
I endured the anger in my heart and squeezed out a smile from between my teeth, "Oh? Really? Then take one and listen to it!"
"You are not an artist. You are a young man, you still teach Chinese, why bother others with this matter?"
Her father is really a pig teammate on the road of partnership, with an unknown fire stringing from the soles of his feet! Does the child belong to me alone? You just can’t bear to spend time on your children!
Hmph, then I don’t want a name either.
Seeing that the due date is approaching and the name has not yet been decided, as an old mother, I am naturally very anxious, for fear that my parents-in-law will use "high-end" words like "Little Dragon and Little Phoenix" to ask me to choose one after birth. .
One day, my sister brought out a bunch of snacks and sat at the door to show off to the other children. No matter how much I taught her that good things should be shared with others, she was as stubborn as ever and was so stingy that I suspected she was not her biological child. My sister must not be like this, otherwise she will be disliked to death. Suddenly a name came to mind, Luo Luo generous. This is my beautiful yearning and expectation for the second child. The name "Luo Luo" took root. Boss I am also very satisfied with my sister’s name!
Choosing a nickname is already difficult, but a famous name is even more of a headache! The birth certificate must be obtained within two weeks of the child's birth. As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I started to think about it. I dug out the "Name Science" book I bought a few years ago and took the postgraduate entrance examination attitude. The purpose of this book is about five-frame mathematics and the configuration of three talents. It took me several days of research with limited IQ to scratch the surface. To put it bluntly, it is to match the child's name according to the birth date and the strokes of the surname. When I think of this time-consuming and labor-intensive task For mental work, just delete the complex ones so as not to cause trouble for yourself.
When we choose a name, we just hope that the sound, shape and meaning of the name will be good, so why bother with those slightly superstitious things. Chinese characters are humanistic symbols that have existed for thousands of years. They have strong information induction. Good names are remembered by people as soon as they are heard. They can also give people beautiful hints and often create unexpected opportunities in society.
As a new generation of parents, we are also afraid that our children’s names will become “tacky” and “rustic” because no one knows what cultural trends will be like in twenty years. It became a commonplace case after a few years. For example, "Zihan" and "Zixuan" were so amazing to us more than ten years ago. Who would have guessed that they would be bad names today.
It is best to apply it from Chinese classics. If it is not possible, try to avoid following the crowd. As long as it is easy to listen to and has profound connotations.
Little Bao was born with very obvious traits of the Rat zodiac: timid, sensitive, alert, and insecure. With such "congenital shortcomings", we naturally hope that she will be cheerful, lively, brave and decisive, and dare to take action.
“Details determine success or failure, and character determines destiny.” People have their own temperament and personality. Temperament includes: impatient, chronic, quiet, talkative, active, reclusive... It is difficult to change. Changing a person's personality is like pulling the planet out of its original orbit, but we can incorporate this beautiful expectation and wish into the name.
I don’t know what the character of a baby as big as a bean sprout will be. As parents, we always pray and long for the best!
Just when I was following this clue to conceive, the child’s father put forward a strict requirement. The name must be in the sister style, that is, just change one character in the eldest child’s name.
I look up the meaning in the dictionary and analyze the glyphs to find the meaning. I finally drafted a few that I thought were pretty good, but her father either thought the word was unfamiliar or the pronunciation was hard to pronounce.
To be honest, I have mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and I am not willing to use Dabao's calligraphy anymore. The reason is that it doesn't feel coherent when writing. Who makes me a fake calligraphy enthusiast? The fonts are beautiful. Just as important as the moral.
It was a quick decision. The more difficult it was to choose, the harder it was to delay. Two days later, I decided on the name as Sicheng.
My thoughts are clear and my writing is flowing. The name is adapted from the idiom "clear thoughts and misunderstandings", which comes from "Yao Shi'an Yike Cottage Poems and Poems Copy Preface" by Zong Jichen of the Qing Dynasty: "However, clear thoughts and misunderstandings, and smooth things, although in a dangerous and troubled place, and all Proclaim not to lose its peace."
The original meaning is to think deeply, act decisively, and act cautiously. Since the little rat girl is timid and timid, using this name to promote courage and courage can be regarded as a bit of a meaning.
As a girl, I don’t expect her to become famous. I just hope that she will always have a pure and clear heart, have an attitude towards life, be warm and gentle, be at ease and live a good life in her own way.
As an old mother, I have taken great pains. Two weeks later, this impromptu name was printed on Xiaobao’s birth certificate and will accompany her throughout her life.
The matter of naming has finally come to an end. I believe that every mother looks at her sleeping baby, murmuring his or her name, with her beloved family sitting beside her, and it is a beautiful picture. The picture of the future flashes beautifully in my heart!
