Names based on seniority are no longer popular, mainly due to the "three modernizations": First, changes in ideological concepts
Especially among young people, who disdain the traditions passed down by their ancestors After a quick glance, I became more and more indifferent to traditional culture. What’s even more outrageous: My uncle and nephew, who has not been in the fifth server, named his son. He is a generation younger than my son. My son is called “~东”. My nephew should avoid the word “东”, but he named him “X Dong”. . My wife tried to argue with the grandson’s grandparents, but they didn’t take it seriously!
Later, the grandson had two daughters after marriage, and his names became even more outrageous. My mother's name is "Z Yun", my sister-in-law is called "G Yun", and my grandson named his eldest daughter "X Yun". But she is four generations younger than my mother and three generations younger than my sister-in-law.
My granddaughter’s name is “~Xuan”; this grandson’s second daughter is called “XXuan”, who is also a generation younger. This is simply "the collapse of etiquette and the destruction of music"! My wife went to argue with her parents again, but they ignored her. In fact, this seniority is not something you can just fill up. You are a grandchild and will always be a grandchild! Even if you are named after your ancestor, you are still a grandson! Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will curse you in the underworld?
My wife was very angry, so I advised her: "It doesn't matter. Living a good life does not depend on this name; this name is just a symbol of a person." The second is the differentiation of geographical location
Especially for young people, their household registration is in their place of origin, they work and do business in different places all year round, they are famous but not seen, which is also the reason for their outrageous names. Third, young people's pursuit of individuality is reflected in all aspects. This naming no longer follows rules and regulations, but does whatever they want, follow their spontaneity, and do whatever they want. This name has become more diverse and diverse.
Like these Internet names, some are just one character; some are enough to form an enhanced version, followed by a long tail, a string of English letters or a string of Arabic numerals. . This is "privacy", and there is no need to investigate the "profound meaning" of this term. Anyway, there is a "little ninety-nine" in people's hearts. According to this saying, only heaven knows, earth knows, gods know, and ghosts know?
In my opinion, this name and this code name should be unusual. There is an order and a first-come, first-served approach, which is better than being disorganized. As the old saying goes, nothing can be achieved without rules. But some people insist on doing the opposite and creating artificial chaos can only bring some inconvenience to daily life.
But then again, it was all born by the parents. The name and the code name are all decided by the parents. The old almanac can't stand it. Then let him go, that is his freedom and outsiders have no right to interfere. Conclusion
It is not that naming based on seniority is not unpopular now. Many groups with prestige and cultural accomplishment have basically passed it down well. What you said is not popular, but it is just a small number of homeless people who have lost their roots and homes. It does not represent the majority of Chinese people.
