Thought about it. Some interesting things happen every year at the beginning of the school year, especially in the lower grades. There are always some unexpected things.
01
Mr. Gao’s daughter Gao Zixuan is in primary school. After the start of the fall semester this year, the child happily returned to school. I couldn't be happier to see the teachers and classmates I hadn't seen for a long time. Greet each other after meeting, and even hug each other cordially. After seeing his daughter go to school successfully, Mr. Gao thought everything would go smoothly and his daughter would concentrate on her studies.
However, when my daughter came home from school, something happened that shattered her young heart. After school started, both books and homework books needed to write our names. In order for my daughter to write her name well, I asked my daughter to practice more after returning home. Firstly, the writing was required to be neat and secondly, to be proficient and not to write typos. Of course, it is impossible to achieve such a requirement without writing it dozens of times.
So Gao Zixuan began to practice writing her name at the request of her parents. As she was writing, her young heart began to collapse. She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
Gao Zixuan’s mother looked on dumbfounded, so she asked why. Gao Zixuan said she didn’t want to be called that name anymore, and cried that her name was too difficult to write. Then her mother asked her what she wanted to be called. Gao Zixuan said she wanted to be called "Gao Yiyi", which instantly made her mother laugh.
02
Mr. Wang’s daughter Wang Youyou is also in the lower grade of a primary school. After school started, she also had a problem that troubled her, and it was also the problem of writing her name. When her parents asked her what she wanted to be called, she said without hesitation that she wanted to be called "Wang Yi". Worried that her parents didn't understand, she also explained specifically "one of one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven." The reason why I want to change my name is also very simple, that is, my name "Wang Youyou" is too difficult to write.

What should parents pay attention to when naming their children?
1. Use less uncommon words
In the process of naming their children, some parents will pay more attention to not only having a good meaning, but also listening to it. But there are also some parents who are very casual. Some parents only pay attention to a good meaning when naming their children, and do not pay attention to the strokes of the name and whether there are uncommon characters. For example, "彧(yù)" is generally used to describe someone with literary talent, but many people don't recognize this word when they see it for the first time. Even some teachers in the subject didn’t know the word at first.
So when roll call came in class, I got stuck awkwardly. The students are also embarrassed, and the teachers are also embarrassed. If classmates don’t know the word, they won’t come to say hello. Therefore, it is recommended that parents do not add uncommon words to their children’s names, nor should they blindly pursue uncommon words for good meanings.
2. Not too many strokes
While pursuing the beautiful meaning of the name, some parents do not consider the strokes of the name at all. For example, Zhang Yilei, Li Xiyue, etc. Although they sound good and have a good meaning, have you considered the feelings of your children? There is a joke that after an exam, everyone else has finished their papers, but your child is still writing his name. Although it is a joke, it also illustrates the fact that choosing a name for your child should not be too complicated. Otherwise it would be too uncomfortable for the children.
With so many strokes, it is difficult to write them correctly, let alone write them beautifully. So sometimes from the perspective of a teacher, I feel sorry for these children. So parents should pay attention to this when naming their children.
3. Avoid ambiguous names
Some words may not have any ambiguity in the past, but with the development of time, many new words have begun to appear, some of which have good meanings, and some of which have good meanings. There are also some negative connotations, such as Qin Shousheng, Liu Meng, Lai Yuejing, etc. Therefore, parents should avoid this situation when naming their children. Otherwise, the child is likely to become the object of ridicule by classmates, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the child.
I hope this helps and wish you good luck
