At the same time, a good name can leave a deep impression on others, so many parents are choosing names for their children. When choosing a name, everyone hopes that the name will sound good, auspicious and have personality, but choosing a good name requires a lot of thought, so now let me share with you how to make a good name. Detailed content 01

Commonly used naming methods: Name analysis method: analyze the mystery of Chinese characters, optimize the pattern of the five elements, and combine names that are suitable for numerology and have meaning.

The method of returning to simplicity: hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is natural without carvings; it comes from nature and has a unique charm.

The commonly used idea of ??how to name a name is to name it according to your heart. This means that naming is quite arbitrary. As long as you master the naming principles and avoid naming taboos, you can choose whatever you think is appropriate. Just start whatever you want. For example, when most people name their children, they want their expectations and requirements for their children to be reflected in their names. Such expectations and requirements include the hope that the child will make a difference when he grows up, have a noble personality, be kind-hearted, have a smooth life, live a happy life, have a beautiful appearance, and be in good health, etc. When naming, reflecting this expectation and sustenance through the name is actually a manifestation of the randomness of naming. For example, some parents hope that their children will make a difference, or serve the country and benefit the people; or have a successful career, become famous and have a family; or work hard and strive for self-improvement. These are all good wishes. Therefore, in terms of names, there are famous names such as Jianguo, Zhenbang, Yuehua, Weimin, Renjie, Liangcai, Xiu, Kejian, Zili, Yifu, Siyuan, etc. Some parents hope that their children can have noble moral sentiments. , so they use names such as Li Yan, Shu De, Self-denial, Jing Shu, Keeping Trust, Filial Piety, Siqian, Ke Rang, Shu Jian, Jiacheng, Siqi, Xue Confucius, Shi Meng, etc. Some parents want their children to have a smooth life, so they name them The children are named Yongji or Anshun, Xiangfa, Luping, Tianyou; some parents hope that their children will live a happy life, so they name them Changfu, Yonggui, Renchang, Guangli, Xiaoying, Jinhui, etc.; some parents hope that their children will be healthy and safe, So they named their children Yongnian, Changling, Jianqiang, and Erkang. Some parents wanted their children to be handsome and beautiful, so they named their children Mingjun, Xiulin, Yurong, and Liyuan. It can be seen that parents' wishes are diverse, and the methods of naming are also eclectic. No matter which one you choose, you can come up with a name that satisfies your heart. Naming is arbitrary, and children's names can be picked at random, and such names are fresh and pleasant. Examples of them can often be seen in many newspapers and magazines in recent years, and they can also be used as a reference for our naming. As reported by Parents Daily, a young man named Zhang named his child "Zhang Menglei", which means "opening the buds in dreams" and also hopes that the child will face life bravely. 02

Another example is reported by "Xinmin Evening News": a young couple named their daughter "Zouzai" and her scientific name "Zhenying". The former means that they hope their child will move forward bravely in life, and the latter It is to hope that the child will be smart and lively in the future. Another couple named their daughter "Zhanmei" in school and "Shushu" in childhood. The former means they hope their child will be happy in life, while the latter means they hope their child will love reading and make a difference like their parents. Another example is reported by the "Luoyang Daily". A couple named Chen named their child "Hongyi", which means that they hope that the child will establish faith and live bravely. Another couple named their child "Baichuan", which means that they hope that the child will continue to make progress and gain something in life. According to the "Daily News" report, a blogger named Zhang Wei said that when his parents originally named him, they hoped that he would become a great man. The word "wei" used in the name also includes great, magnificent, great person, The meaning of Wei'an is that all words related to the word "wei" are also very outstanding. Therefore, the person named after this is naturally very outstanding. There was also a peasant couple who went to work in the city and named their son "Shu Chen" after giving birth to him. In this regard, the child's father explained that "Xing" means bright, and "Chen" is the zodiac "dragon" of the year his son was born. The two words together mean a dragon with a bright future. The above are all examples in real life. It can be seen that they are more arbitrary in naming, and they also express the factory's expectations and sustenance for the children. Choose a name based on your own feelings and ideas. Because the name you choose is not restricted by rules and regulations, it can often be novel, unique, and surprising. As mentioned above, the name "Zhang Menglei" came from firstly the flowers raised at home blooming, and then her family had an auspicious dream. The two things combined gave her name.

Similarly, "Zhan Mei" was named because her mother was writing the story "Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman", and Xu Zhimo's nickname for Lu Xiaoman was also "Mei'. Both of the above names can be used. It should be expressive and eclectic, so it can give people a fresh feeling. The parents' expectations, ambitions, expectations and feelings for their children are reflected through their names. This is almost always the case in ancient and modern times, and in many cases. There is also a certain degree of arbitrariness. A female college student gave birth to a daughter after she got married. She hoped that the child would be able to be clean when she grew up, so she named the child "Qiu Xue". She explained that the name came from the poem "Quatrain" by the poet Du Fu. "The window contains Qianqiu snow of Xiling, and the door is docked with Dongwu ship", where "Qianqiu snow" refers to the snowflakes that have accumulated for a long time. When used in a person's name, it means as white and flawless as snow. According to another newspaper report, a man who followed the Kuomintang before liberation The veterans who went to Taiwan from the government felt deeply about the long-term isolation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and were homesick. When their grandson was born, he named him "Shou Ning." He explained that the name meant missing his hometown, and "Shou Qiu" means turning his head towards the hills, which comes from In "Songs of Chu: Aijun", "When a bird flies back to its hometown, it will be the first one to die alone." In the poem, he expressed his desire to return to Zodu (now Ji Nancheng, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province) even if he died. He used the word "Shouqiu" to express his long-cherished wish to return to his roots. The names of his two grandsons are Sun Zhiping and Sun Zhiqiang. , the names were all given by him personally. Among them, Sun Zhiqiang was born in 1913, when the Republic of China was in its early stages. Mr. Sun Zhiqiang was born in 1919 because he earnestly hoped for the peace of the country and the people. At that time, the restoration of the monarchy was being planned. He felt deeply that the achievements of the revolution might be stolen. He felt that the way to govern a country should be to strengthen the revolutionary team first and then the country, so he gave him this name to express his love for them. Their high hopes are reflected in their grandson's name.

Another example is the Prime Minister's nickname "Daying", the "Ying" in the name means something like a phoenix. His parents gave him this name because they hoped that when he grew up, he would have the ability to fly high and achieve great success. In modern times, there was a famous movie actor Wang Renmei, who was the daughter of his gay teacher Wang Zhengshu. His name is Wang Shuxi, which comes from "Shuji Xianxi" in "Shangshu Yaodian", which means that many things have been revived. When Wang Renmei later recalled the origin of her name, she said: "I understand my father's mood. He hopes that his children can study well and learn some skills in a down-to-earth manner, and contribute to changing the country's poverty and backwardness in the future." There is another article. The story tells that a man surnamed Yang gave birth to a son. Before his birth, his relatives and friends named him Yang Chuang, Yang Lang, and Yang Xiaoyu respectively, which means that they hope that he who is born in the year of Tiger will be able to fight bravely and bravely in the future, and that Tiger and Tiger will be energetic, or Just like the morning air is clean and refreshing, healthy and handsome, or a lifetime of joy and laughter. But it was raining lightly on the morning of his birth, so he changed his name to Yang Xiaoyu. There are almost countless examples of how parents’ expectations for their children are reflected in their names. Modern writer Yu Dafu had his next son, named Yu Fei, Yu Yun, and Yu Liang respectively. The names were inspired by the names of historical celebrities, Zhang Fei, Yue Yun, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, etc., and he also hoped that they would become successful. When the granddaughter of a former famous general of the People's Liberation Army was born, the whole family was very busy flipping through books and looking up dictionaries. In the end, he named his granddaughter "Lan Feng'," and explained that "LAN" is the Chinese character for "LAN." "Feng" is the word for "front". I hope she will be like "Feng" when she grows up. Another example is the famous Chinese economist Mr. Ma Yinchu, who successively named his grandchildren Siyi, Sizhong, Sirun, Size and Sidong. When these names are combined, they mean "loyalty with one heart", and the word "Run" is also derived from The word "Runzhi" comes from Chairman Mao, which clearly expresses his admiration and love for Chairman Mao. Of course, some parents are at a loss when naming their children, but they will suddenly be inspired. There is an ideal name.

A mother who named her daughter "Zi Ni" was recalling the experience of naming her child. Shi said that like many parents, she and her husband struggled to find a good name for their daughter, racking their brains and reading ancient poems and dictionaries since the child was born. Grandpa and grandma asked for help and consulted with relatives and friends around them, and accumulated a lot of names with various profound meanings, but they still felt that there was something wrong. When their daughter was almost one month old and had to register for household registration, she and her husband were still thinking about their daughter's name. Worried. One night, the name "Zibu" suddenly slipped out of her mouth while she was lying in bed. She and her husband decided to use this name almost instantly. Then they looked up the name in the dictionary and found "Zi Liao Jue Qian Lin Li Xian Yi". "Bi Kuo Carr" originally came from "The Book of Songs", and was later widely circulated because it was quoted in "Dan Ge Xing" by Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms. That is, the line "Zi Carr" in "Youth Zi Bell, lingering in my heart" expresses The desire of talented people, and the word "Zi Kao" looks very beautiful, and when combined with the daughter's surname, it is even more interesting and natural. It cleverly expresses the parents' wish for a bright future for their daughter. In the history of our country, there are many examples. Examples of less arbitrary naming] For example, Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was named Mojie, and the name and the character were connected to become Vimalakie, which was the name of a Bodhisattva. It was because his parents believed in Buddhism and directly used the name of the Bodhisattva.

The mother of Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, dreamed of Qin Guan when she was pregnant, and Qin Guan's Chinese character is "Shao You". Her mother hoped that he would be the reincarnation of Qin Guan and have a writing career like Qin Guan, so she named him "Shao You". tour". Xin Qiji, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, named his son Tiezhu and wrote a poem specifically for his son, expressing his wish that his son would be rich, live a long life, be free from disasters, and be smart.

If possible, readers may wish to use implicit nomenclature, of course this requires some writing effort. Zheng Sixiao, a poet and painter in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty.

6. Ideal naming method for babies Everyone has their own ideals. Ideals are people’s spiritual pillars. Ideals are the driving force of people’s lives. Throughout the ages, many people with lofty ideals have had lofty ideals. Ideals create glorious achievements. People without ideals are like a body without a soul. Because of this, many people put their own hopes and ideals in naming their children, hoping that their children can Achieve a great career.

7. Use methods to induce name changes when naming babies: The Chinese culture of China is a rare exquisite culture. In the rich national system culture, there are many amazing classics, and some quotations from the classics are excerpted from them. Aphorisms and slightly modified methods of introducing names are even more common. The word Rudi comes from "Shi·Xiaoya·Changdi" and has been cited as Xiandi, Changdi, Handi and Difu. The character "welcome" comes from "Come from all directions to congratulate" in "Shi·Daya·Xiawu", the character "诩" comes from "Hui Tongzhu Xu" in "Book of Rites·Shaoyi", Zheng Xuan noted that "诩" means quick and brave; the character "xiang" comes from "Yi Book of Changes" The word "Hong" comes from "Yi·Kun", "Han Hong Guangda"; the word "Peng" comes from "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou", "Peng's migration to the south". "Ming Ye, a small blow can reach thousands of miles, and the fight can soar up to nine"; Jieshi comes from "Trapped" 63 of Yi Yi "Trapped in stones, clinging to thorns, entering his palace, but not seeing his wife..."; Hui comes from "Trapped" in "Trapped" "Li Sao": "I have planted nine beds of orchids, and planted hundreds of acres of locust trees." Throughout the ages, many literati like to quote scriptures and references, and there are countless examples of them, and there is a certain reason to follow them.

8. How to name babies with place names. Using place names as names is a relatively common way of naming. This naming method is both simple and has certain connotations. The place names used are often the place of birth. This kind of name is Use the abbreviation, pronoun, and characteristics of the place of birth, plus matching words to form a name. Of course, if you were not born in this place, like this place, or have some fate with this place, you can also use this place as your name. . The use of place names as names can be said to have been used since ancient times and continues to this day. Many famous scholars’ names are related to place names. For example, Zheng Banqiao, a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, was born in Xinghua County, Jiangsu Province, but he did not use "Xinghua" Instead, I chose the word "Banqiao" from an unnamed wooden bridge on the moat of the county.

9. The method of naming babies with allusions. What is the allusion naming method? In layman's terms, it is to use a meaningful sentence in ancient literature and choose one or two characters to name it. For example, Comrade Chairman Mao, whose courtesy name is Runzhi. The meanings of "Zedong" and "Runzhi" complement each other. The name is used in "Mencius". A sentence from "Teng Wengong Shang": "If the husband nourishes it, it will be between the king and the son." The allusive naming method is a nomenclature method with a higher cultural level. Generally, it requires the namer to be familiar with ancient documents, or at least read some ancient books. Allusions can be used to name names. In my country's rich classical classics, there are many words with profound meanings that we can use as a reference when choosing names. The ancients were very particular about using allusions, and there are roughly the following categories: Mingyong category: Meng Haoran, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, took his name from "Mencius": "I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit." Hidden usage: Pan Yue from Jin Dynasty, whose courtesy name is Anren, uses the meaning of "The Benevolent Man Leshan" from "The Analects of Confucius", but using Yue instead of mountain is not a direct quotation. During the Warring States Period, a descendant of Confucius was named Kong Bai. The character "Shang" is connected with "Shang". "Shang Bai" refers to the custom of the Yin people, and the Kong family is a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty, so his name implies the nostalgia of his homeland. Inverted usage: Yi Sanjie in the Ming Dynasty was given the courtesy name Kanghou; Wang Zijie in the Qing Dynasty was given the courtesy name Jin San. They all use the "Book of Changes·Jin Gua" "Jin, Kanghou uses Xi Ma Fan Shu, day and day three times". Loose usage: Ming Dynasty Wang Shu, whose courtesy name is Zongguan, uses the words "My way is consistent" and "The way of the Master is only loyalty and forgiveness" in The Analects of Confucius. Sometimes the allusions are not quoted directly, but slightly used to make it more meaningful. For example, the famous scholar Qian Daxin, whose courtesy name is Xiaozheng, is based on the "Emperor inspects learning, Daxin drums for levy" in "Book of Rites: Prince Wen", so the warning It is based on "Zhongye", but the word "gu" is changed to "xiao", which not only corresponds to the word "Xin" in the name, but also avoids being too rigid. When using allusions, you must pay attention to changes. Don't use them too plainly and become the material for others to talk and laugh. For example, during the Qianlong period, there was a person with the surname "Lou" and the last name "Gengyi". The character "upper level" was used in the Tang poem "up a higher level". , the surname, first name, and characters are all included; but if it is too straight and straight, it will make people feel boring and self-defeating.

10. Babies are named with expectations. When they are born in the world, they will inevitably have various desires, such as hoping for health and longevity, planning to make a fortune, or hoping to become famous, make contributions, serve the motherland, and be young. When a couple gives birth to a child, they are not only full of love for this new life, but also full of eagerness. The idiom "hope that the child will become a dragon" very vividly depicts the parents' longing and expectation for their children, because it was not realized in the parents' generation. Wishes strongly demand to be realized in children; and the realized wishes are hoped that the next generation can inherit and carry them forward. This kind of thinking of parents is often very prominent in naming their children, so expectant nomenclature It is a widely used nomenclature. The following introduces several types of expected naming methods (1) Wealth (2) Longevity (3) Auspicious type

11. Five elements supplementary naming method for baby naming

The five elements are gold, Wood, water, fire and earth are the quintessential inventions of the ancestors of Chinese culture. All life and matter are inseparable from the cycle and relationship of the five elements. In the name culture, there are many examples of borrowing the five elements of light and five elements into names, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, steel, knife, sword, halberd, key, pool, hao, zhe, su, calligraphy, etc. Fang, quasi, fire, lamp, can, burn, spirit, flame, bing, shine, ye, enthalpy, beacon, zhuo, flame, xuan, yu, wei, yi, fan, wen, public, friend, mu, dust, earth, altar, stronghold, ridge, kun, slope, city, fortress, pu, pei, base, territory, hall, tower, plateau, border, wall, increase, ink, territory, field, white, stone, righteousness, people, The characters Nian, An, Quan, etc. are all used in names intentionally or unintentionally, and they are extremely common, so the probability of being used repeatedly is high.
