Methods and techniques for choosing names

Methods and techniques for choosing names. Names are something that everyone pays attention to in our lives. Many people also spend money on choosing names. I put a lot of thought into choosing a meaningful name. Let’s learn about the methods and techniques of choosing a name. Tips on naming methods 1

1. Naming with five elements

Naming children based on the five elements has always been an enduring method of naming, because the names produced by this method are more fitting. It will be more helpful to the child's future development if it matches the child's numerology. When naming in this way, the girl's five elements should be judged based on the child's birth date. If the momentum is too strong, it needs to be suppressed, and if it is missing, it needs to be supplemented.

Choose a word that is suitable for the child and reflects elegance and self-cultivation. It will not only highlight its beautiful qualities but also be more auspicious. For example, if a child's five elements lack fire, parents can directly use words with fire attributes. There are many such words, but they cannot be used indiscriminately and must be used with caution. It can also be based on the principle of the mutual restraint of the five elements. When using words, you cannot use them with words that belong to water. Water restrains fire. When using words, try not to use them with words that have the attribute of water.

If you want to give your child an elegant and cultivated name, you might as well use poems to name it.

However, when naming based on poems and songs, it is easy for the name to have obscure meanings. Because the meaning of Chinese characters has changed greatly after thousands of years of development and evolution, so when naming based on poems, songs and poems, When reading, you should pay attention to clarify the meaning of the poem itself and the connotation to be expressed, so as to avoid the ambiguous meaning of the name, which will be detrimental to the child's numerology and fortune.

If you want your child to be successful financially when he grows up, use the word "rich", etc.; if you want your child to be smart, use the word "clever" (meaning "clever"). In short, people want their children to live a prosperous life and have a lot of money. Therefore, many people place this hope when naming their children.
