In life, many parents have a "different" mentality when naming their children, hoping that their children's names will be unique and look full of culture and personality.
To achieve this goal, some parents take it for granted to name their children with uncommon words.
But in many cases it backfires. When parents rashly use a word as their child's name without even knowing its meaning, it often makes a joke.
How embarrassing is it to name your child with a typo?
A netizen shared an experience he had when he was a teacher. This netizen was teaching at a certain school. When he was looking at the student roster, he discovered that a girl's name was "Zi Chen".
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this name, and the girl's name is "瀀", which also gives people a beautiful meaning.
But when the teacher saw the name, he was frightened and immediately wrote a letter to the girl's parents.
It turns out that the true meaning of the word "瀀" is "the pearls and jade contained in the mouth of the deceased". Maybe the girl's parents liked the pronunciation of this word, but felt that "Han" was a bit common, so they used it. Added "琀" next to the word "王".
After receiving the letter from the teacher, the parents immediately paid attention to it and went to the school in person to find the teacher and prepare to discuss changing their child's name.
In fact, in addition to "琐", there are many words that look beautiful on the surface, but have meanings that are not suitable to be placed in a child's name.
For example: "Shang"
The word "shang" seems to have a melancholic temperament. The male protagonists in some TV series or novels often use this word, so if your parents are fans of novels, , it may bring "Shang" into the baby's name.
But in fact, the meaning of the word "shang" is very bad. It originally means "dying before reaching adulthood". It also means major disasters, accidents, and psychological grief and regret. It can be seen that this The word is not suitable to be placed in the name.
Another example: 渝
Many people will be curious, how can the word "渝" have a bad meaning? We often say "unswerving determination" and "unswerving loyalty". It seems that this is a very beautiful word, which means that the relationship will last forever.
In fact, if you look in the dictionary, you will find that the word "渝" itself means "change", which mostly refers to a change in attitude or feelings.
In "Shuowen Jiezi", it means "water becomes dirty", which has an obvious derogatory connotation, so this word is not suitable to be placed in a name.

Finally, parents should pay attention to avoid homophonic sounds when naming their children.
Many names seem to have good meanings, but they sound homophonic. For example, there is a girl on the Internet named "Xiong Chumo", which sounds very literary, but the homophony of this name is similar to that of animation. The movie "Bear Bears" became famous.
