What to pay attention to when naming your children
It is best not to have a "bad name"
Now that the Internet is developed, people often When I watch some popular TV series on the Internet, I will name my children based on the characters in them. It is simple and nice, and I don’t have to work hard to search for it. But this may lead to a high repetition rate of children's names. This phenomenon is the most serious now, such as calling people "Xuan", "Xuan", "Xi", etc. In the past, if people called them this, they still sounded quite artistic, but now they feel uncomfortable when they are called more often.
Don’t make the name too complicated and don’t have too many strokes.
There are always some parents who think that giving their baby a more complicated name will make it appear more meaningful. Little did they know that when the baby started to learn to write his own name, he would cry every minute while writing it. Why did the mother give herself a name with so many strokes? Especially during exams, when your baby is still writing his name carefully one stroke at a time, others may have finished half of the multiple-choice questions.
Don’t use unfamiliar characters
The reason why people choose uncommon characters when using names is actually very simple, just to avoid being conventional. However, the common characters that people generally know are only three to four thousand characters, and naming is mainly for others to call them, not to show off their knowledge. But names are for communication. Otherwise, names lose their existence value. If you use some uncommon words when naming, which most people do not recognize, it must affect the communication between people.
Don’t use name fonts that are monotonous and repetitive
Some people like to make use of the physical structure of Chinese characters when naming. For example: the three names Shi, Lei, Lin, Sen, Nie and Er are examples of this. The aesthetic effect of this kind of naming is quite good, but it is a pity that our surnames can only be used so little. Since we use Chinese characters to name, we must not only consider the abstract beauty of elegance and refinement in meaning, but also pay attention to the variety of image beauty when writing.

Complying with the numerology preferences is the basis of naming. From a numerology perspective, a person's horoscope and name are like a person's body and spirit. The strength of the body is closely related to the quality of the spirit. A strong spirit means a strong body, and a weak spirit means a weak body. When naming your baby, you must first look at his birth date, analyze the strength of the horoscope, and his numerology likes and dislikes, and then choose a name based on the numerology characteristics. This way you can avoid the situation where the baby's name is inconsistent with your personal numerology likes and dislikes.
