Many parents really put a lot of thought into their baby’s name. The most popular names for newborns last year have also been released. Among them, the most popular name for male babies is "Zi Rui", which is said to have been named for 2 consecutive years. It has occupied the top spot for many years, and the most popular name for baby girls is "Zi Qing", which has occupied the top spot for 5 years now. It seems that parents are really obsessed with this type of name!
By the way, are there many such names around you?
Giving a good name to your baby is, I believe, a very important task for most parents. After all, as the old saying goes, the quality of a name can also determine a person’s life, so it is often After the baby is born, some parents go to find someone to give the baby a corresponding name according to the time of birth. Lazy mothers can completely understand this. After all, there are many people here who are engaged in this industry.
However, there are also many young people who don’t believe this and choose to name their babies based entirely on their own preferences. Of course, there is no problem at all in naming your baby by yourself. On the contrary, many parents name their babies The names are all very nice! So what principles can we follow when naming our babies?
1. Just like it
In fact, the name we give our baby does not necessarily have to have a big meaning. If the requirements in this aspect are not high, then we can name the baby The name can be relatively simple, as long as it sounds good to you and is catchy when pronounced.
2. According to the ranking of peers
Some families are relatively large, and there are certain rules for naming among brothers and sisters. People of the same generation must use the same word. In this case, you only need to think of one word. Anyway, the surname and one of the words are immutable. Whichever word you think is useful and meaningful can be matched without being awkward.
3. Name according to the season or meaning of birth
Many babies happen to be born on a more memorable festival, or some comparisons occur at that time. Unforgettable things, at this time we can name the baby based on these situations.
For example, Lazy Mom has a colleague. The day his child was born happened to be National Day + Mid-Autumn Festival. The colleague was very happy. This day has a good meaning and everyone is happy, so the colleague named the child One name is "Shuangqing".
This name is quite good and festive enough, and the chance of having the same name is not high.
4. Choose a name based on the baby’s five elements and eight characters
This is very common and is what is mentioned above, but you need to find some professionals to do it. Usually, the name for the baby is calculated based on the time of birth. For example, in the simplest way, if the baby is short of gold and water, the name needs to contain gold and water.
If you want to dig deeper, it won’t work here at Lazy Mom.
5. Give your baby a name based on traditional Chinese medicine
There are also some parents who simply want to give their baby a very artistic or beautiful name, for example, simply use something Name the baby with Chinese medicine names, such as Shuanghua, Solanum nigrum, Polygonatum odorifera, Albizia julibrissin, Wangyou, Agarwood, Yinchen, Chonglou, etc. (This is when I discovered that in "The Biography of Miyue", Mi Shu was brought from Chu State Auntie Tortoiseshell from Qin State, Tortoiseshell is actually a traditional Chinese medicine), those are pretty good names.
When my friend was pregnant with her second child, she read some Chinese medicine books every day. When her second child was born, she was simply named "Polygala". My friend said it saved a lot of brainpower. However, it doesn’t matter how you name your baby. The most important thing to avoid is the following points:
1. Don’t name your baby too hard to pronounce.
Even if you can’t name your baby, When it comes to being catchy, don't give your baby a very unpleasant name, otherwise it will be difficult for you to pronounce it, let alone a baby who has just started to learn to speak.
2. Try not to use uncommon words
When we name our baby, we can try to avoid some popular names, but we also try not to use some uncommon words, don’t say that you can’t pronounce them. , maybe the teacher didn’t know how to read it when I was in school.
For example, there are not many strokes for ?, 沝, 珏, 咒, 尛, 皛, etc., but they are not commonly used. I believe there are still many people who don’t know how to pronounce them. What you're afraid of is that when you go to register for household registration, you find that you can't type this word at all, so you won't be able to register for your baby's household registration.
3. You don’t need too many strokes
Some people prefer to use words with a lot of strokes when naming their babies, such as xin, yao, 驘, 忿, chu, 纛 , 鼟, etc., when you give your baby a name like this, you can deeply understand how it feels when someone else's baby has already written half of the test paper, but your baby is still writing the name.
My friend’s baby has just entered the first grade, and his name has more strokes, one of which is the word "ya". The teacher asked the child to write his name in the homework book. The first grade child has just started to learn to write. , it is slow to begin with, and there are more strokes in the name. As a result, the child spent most of the day just writing the name in his own book and exercise book, and his friend stayed with him for most of the day. He was tired just looking at it, and he wished he could just get a pen by himself. Written on.
4. There is no need to be too unconventional.
Most of us are ordinary people. An ordinary name is enough. There is really no need to be too unconventional.
For example, those named "Alipay", "Yue Fei" and "King of Glory", I really don't know what special meaning they have.
5. Don’t choose names that are too popular
The reason why a name becomes popular is because many people use it. If you choose such a name, you will find that your child There will be 6 Zixuan, 7 Xinyi, 8 Zirui, and 9 Ziqing in the class... Even the teacher can't tell who is who.
You don’t need to be particular about the name, but it’s not that easy to choose a good name. After all, our country has a large population, and it feels like any name you choose will be the same. But for now, it seems that as long as you avoid it, That’s it for these popular names.
