How to give your child a good name? Let me give you a detailed introduction below:
1: Some tips on naming:
a: The importance of names to people’s lives
Study theory by name, A name not only represents a person's symbol, but also has a profound meaning. It is also a reflection of a person's level and cultural background. Having a beautiful name in one's life not only impresses others, but also affects the name owner's career, marriage, health and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, parents should give their children a good name, so that it is justifiable, impressive, and implies good wishes. But it is not very easy to give a child a good name.
(1) Avoid having the same initial consonants and final rhymes in your first and last names.
For example: "wang" is spelled from "w" (w) and ANG (ang). It is not appropriate to name it "wangwenwei" (wangwenwei). The three characters have the same initial consonants. It is very unpleasant to read
(2) Avoid the homophony of names with offensive words.
For example: Li Si, Han Yuan, Shi Shi, Du Zida and other names are very elegant in meaning, but they are easy to read in spoken language as: you die, cry injustice, dead body, big belly, etc.
(3) Avoid the same flat and oblique sounds in names. Modern Chinese does not talk about levels and tones, but talks about the four tones. The so-called four tones refer to level, up, go, and enter.
For example: Liu Jingxuan's three characters are all in the upper tones, which makes the pronunciation very convoluted, making it not as good as Liu Jingguan's.
c. Pay attention to some phonology
When naming, pay attention to the rhythm and rhythm, and make sure the parts of speech are relative, that is, verbs, nouns, adjectives, numerals in content words, adverbs and prepositions in function words , conjunctions, particles, interjections, etc. are in harmony, and the content in the name is related but not repeated; the tones of the name are relatively flat, making people "whisper and recite slowly, but the sound is sonorous and the words are gorgeous and wonderful." ”
d. Borrow some modern Chinese rhetorical techniques.
Giving a name is actually a kind of literary creation. If a person has deep literary accomplishment, the name he chooses will definitely be more meaningful than others, unconventional, and unexpected. So people can use some literary writing skills when coming up with names.
4. Name your child according to the season of birth.
When naming your child, you might as well take advantage of the season of birth. This is really a good way to remember birthdays. Naming according to seasons is also commonly used among our people. If it is well chosen, it will have a unique flavor and be full of poetry. The following are the different names of the seasons arranged according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Sanchun, Zhuming, Gaoshang, Qingdong, Yuanxu, etc.
5. Name according to the month of birth.
Parents can also name their children according to the month in which they were born. China has its own different names for each month, and the names of the same month are also different. It can be seen that the Chinese language is rich and colorful.
The first month of each lunar calendar is called the first month, also known as: Jian Yin, Meng Chun, Tai Cu, Zou Yue, Yin Yue, Chun Wang, Jia Yue, Shou Yang, Xin Zheng, Fu Zheng , the third day, the beginning of the year, the beginning of the year, the beginning of the year, the beginning of the year, the age of youth, the age of Hua, early spring, Meng Yang, the first month, the first month, Meng Zou, Zheng Yang, the first month, the third micro month, development, the first month Spring, Taiyue, etc.
6. Naming with refined idioms
General idioms have profound meanings and refined language. If you name your child with a well-known idiom, it will be really elegant and saving.
Idioms are generally in four-character format. We cannot directly name them after idioms, but we must flexibly change them, extract the essence from them, and then use them as we like.
zhou erfu: taken from "zhou erfu"
7. Clever use of allusions in naming
Using allusions in naming is also one of the cultural traditions of our people and has a deep cultural heritage connotation. Allusions refer to words with stories and origins that appear in classics. Using allusions to name, just two or three words can have the effect of hundreds of words, and it has the effect of "four ounces lifting a thousand catties".
Parents should take this possibility into full consideration when naming their children.
For example:
Ma Sanli: The words come from "Zuo Zhuan." "The twenty-fourth year of Duke Xiang" "The most important thing is to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words. Although it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality";
8. The custom of naming boys.
Boys have the historical mission of passing on the family lineage and the important task of shining a bright family. The various naming customs and methods mentioned above are actually mainly about men. It can even be said that Chinese research on naming names mainly focuses on men’s names, with little regard for women. The general ideas and methods of naming men are summarized as follows:
Choose more masculine characters for names
It expresses strong will and great strength.
For example: Jian, Gang, Niu, Li, Shan, Jun, Zhu, Jin, Zhou, Chun, Feng, Hao, Ran, Shi, Jian, Qi, Zheng, Ze
9. The custom of naming girls.
In the past, there were obvious differences in the naming of girls and boys. Generally, it was possible to tell whether a boy or a girl was a boy from his name. Now this tradition has been broken, and many girls are keen on one-word masculine names.
Girls’ names are often full of “feminine meaning” and “tenderness”. These meanings and colors are more obviously reflected in the pronunciation, meaning and shape of the name, which often give people a refreshing, gentle, gorgeous and charming feeling. Or it is connected with the gorgeous scenery, bright colors, precious things and other features and objects in nature, which is very feminine.
