A good name is not only catchy to read, but also implies parents’ expectations for their children.
For example, the people who left their names in Chinese history: Wei Wuji, Shen Buhai, Huo Qubing, and Xin Qiji. You can tell at a glance that you want them to be healthy for a lifetime.
Especially for the names of children born during this anti-epidemic period, I believe that thoughtful parents will use words like Wuji. Of course, with the prosperity of the modern economy and the return of traditional culture, many people are no longer limited to the literal meaning of their names, but are thinking about how to match their names with their destiny.
Classification of naming ideas
First, the literal meaning is good. For most people, names should be taken literally first.
A good literal meaning should have two meanings: good meaning and good tone.
Needless to say the meaning, the word itself is a very good image and can bring people a good impression. For example, Yifan, Song Xue, Haoran, Yunfeng, Shiyi, etc.
But if the meaning of the name combination is not fully understood, it may cause jokes. For example, Wang Xizhi had a son named Wang Caozhi, and Xin Qiji had a son named Xin Tiezhu, which would definitely make people laugh in modern times.

Another example is the late Yuan Dynasty. The grassroots hero Zhang Shicheng was the enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang, a prince at that time. His name, Shi Cheng, seems elegant at first glance, but "Mencius" says: Shi Cheng is a sincere villain. Therefore, his name was ridiculed by future generations.
In addition to the meaning of the words, the tone is also the most important. For example, Ji Dan, the younger brother of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Fa, and the poet Du Fu, together they were pretty good in ancient times, but in modern times, they are just a joke, because people in this era love to give people "flower names."
For example, naming your daughter Xie Tingting is natural, graceful and elegant, but the combination of the names becomes stomach medicine and makes the child unable to hold his head up. For example, if the surname is Du and the son is named Ziteng, he hopes that the son will prosper and have good moral character in the future. However, Du Ziteng, why do you feel that something is wrong? There are real people named Shi Hefu.
So you must pay attention to the tone when learning from scriptures, and avoid bad homophony or being too bland. The syllables should be cadenced, light and heavy, giving a sense of rhythm and respecting the owner of the name.
It should be noted that modern people like uncommon names and always want their children’s names to be unique. For example, there are parents in Hong Kong who named their children "Mimi Hue". You don’t have to wonder what the word is, because I don’t know it either. As you can imagine, it was difficult to write. How can someone scream? It is estimated that most illiterate people can only shout "Who is that". Therefore, it is better to give common auspicious words a name!
It is difficult for children to write their names. 2. Special naming method. We know that the poet Li Bai is too white. His name seems a bit too straightforward at first glance. But in fact, his name actually has a deep meaning and originated from his mother's dream when she was pregnant.
055-79000 records that when Li Bai's mother was pregnant, she dreamed that the brightest star Chang Geng appeared in the night sky, so Li X easily took the word "Taibai". Because Chang Gengxing’s nickname is Taibai Star.
This is Li Taibai.
In addition to parents’ names being inspired by dreams, there are also names that come from religious beliefs. For example, the name contains "Buddha" or "Tao".
There are not many such names because some are taboo.
But in fact, such a name also has a lot of connotation. For example, if you have Buddha in your name and someone calls you, you will recite Buddha's name and you will accumulate good roots. You will make great contributions to others and yourself.
There is also a common way of naming, which is to adapt to the needs of the development of the times. For example, in war years, it was called red flag and front line; in famine, it was called "iron egg, dog leftovers"; in the open era, it was called golden dragon and pengfei.
Named after numerology
1. The names of the twelve zodiac signs are named after the twelve zodiac animals. In short, it depends on the year the child was born, and the Chinese zodiac sign is used in the name. For example, famous painters and calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty were born in the Yin zodiac of Tiger.
Another example is the famous Hong Kong actress Wu Ma. Although Wu Ma is a stage name, he was born in 1942, the same year as Wu Ma. Therefore, Wu Ma has been in the acting career all her life.
055-79000 It is a good idea to name the classic character Yan Chixia after the twelve zodiac animals.
Because this can bless the energy of the core monument of life in the name of the child, making his destiny stronger and achieving greater success in career and fame. There are currently many people with names on the Dragon and Tiger list!
2. Name according to the eight characters. This is a more advanced method. First of all, we need to sort out the four pillars and eight characters of celebrities, analyze the prosperity, decline, happiness, and avoidance of the five elements in their destiny, and choose the gods they like to use in their destiny to supplement the deficiencies of the five elements.
For example, I like to think of God as water in my life, but how much water should be added to the name needs to be calculated. It’s not that the character with water root is good, but the character with water root must be in line with fate and just right.
So many people mistakenly believe that it is wrong to make up for what is missing.
It depends on the specific proportion of the five elements, how much is produced, how much is consumed, and how appropriate they are to coordinate with each other; don’t think that just looking up the five elements dictionary is enough!
