I have encountered many names with homophones, such as Yu Yue (joy), Gao Xing, Liu Qi Yue (July), Lin Pingan, etc.
The reasons why I encountered homophonic names are as follows:
1. Parents will split idioms or words to name twins (multiples)
This is the case with these twins in Shanghai. They are both boys, one is "Shang Xia" and the other is "Zuo You". Together, they are up and down. The mother of the children also revealed the reason for their names. , it turned out that my mother was also called Zuoyou, and she once joked that she wanted to find someone named Shangxia. It turned out that her husband’s surname was really Shang, so she chose two meaningful names.
In fact, after giving birth to twins or multiples, many parents will think of an idiom, and then split it into single words to give their children homophonic names, such as "some happiness" and "some peace", which add up to "happiness and peace".
2. Name your child with a word with a better meaning
Some parents only gave birth to one child, but they also hope that their child can grow up happily, so They will find words with good meanings to give their children homophonic names. I have a friend named Wang Meili, and Meili is a homophonic name for beautiful. The mother of this girl wanted her to be beautiful and generous, so she gave her this name.
3. Name your child with the homophony of the date of birth
Some parents save trouble and directly name their child with the homophony of the date of birth. As mentioned earlier Liu Qiyue arrived. This girl was born at the end of July. Her mother directly found two words that girls can use and gave her this name. This kind of naming with the homophony of the month occurs more among people with unique surnames. For example, those with the surname Wu are directly called Wu Yue, and those with the surname Lu are called Lu Yue.
4. Name your child based on the weather when he was born, or what you saw
In addition to the above homophonic names, the last one is the laziest. Parents, they name their children directly with the homophone of the weather conditions on the day their children were born. One of my elementary school classmates is named Zhou Qingtian. She revealed to us that her mother told her that because she was born at noon and the sun was shining brightly, She got the name.
