As the saying goes: If the name is incorrect, the words will not be correct. Considering the tone of the name, this sentence does have its truth. Names are given to others. Some people’s names are catchy and have a golden sound when called out; while some people’s names are dull and lack confidence when called out. Why is this? The reason is that the name maker ignores the name. The beauty of the sound. Therefore, in order to choose a good name, you must understand the pronunciation, meaning, and shape of the words; at the same time, you must also consider the overall meaning and phonological effect of the combination of words.
There are four tones in Chinese characters. The tones of Mandarin include: Yinping (the first tone of the tone), Yangping (the second tone of the tone), Shang tone (the third tone of the tone), and Qu tone (the fourth tone of the tone). The tone plays a major role in whether a name is loud and pleasant to the ear. What should you pay attention to when choosing a name?
(1): If you use a single name, do not use the same tone as the surname for the rising or falling tone, while the surnames of the Yinping type are free. Such as: Shi Xiong, Cen Peng, Wu Liang, He Qun, Fu Qian, Yang Ting, Kong Wu, Shi Jin, Liu Yong, Zhan Xi, Dong Pu, Bai Gu, Beitai, Ji Bu, Yu Hao, Liao Li, Du Hou, Wei Zhao. These names all have overlapping tones, which should be avoided. For single names, as long as you avoid the overlap of the above three tones, the rest is just a matter of word selection.
(2): If you use a double name, you should pay attention to the following three aspects: First, the three characters have the same tone, either one or two, etc. Such as the following names: Zhou Jiaxang, Jiang Dongzhi, Sun Xizhu, Yin Shankai, Wang Dechen, Pi Longrong, Yu Shiyan, Fang Xuanling, Xu Wenhua, Li Yitu, Xu Naipu, Ruqi, Ge Shouli, Shi Xianzu, Song Juye, Fu Da Yong, Bi Zaiyu, Wan Zhengse, Fan Rijin, etc.
◇Remember: No matter what kind of tone, as long as it is repeated three times, it cannot meet the requirements of musical beauty.
(3): Any two adjacent words in the name should not overlap in tone. Third, the first character of the name should not have the same tone as the surname, such as Shi Anshi, Sun Xingyan, and Cui Gongdu. It can be seen that if the same surname is doubled, it will not be easy to pronounce.
The tone combinations discussed here are difficult based on Mandarin Chinese. This may create a contradiction, that is, some names are not easy to read in Mandarin, but are easy to read in dialects; other names are easy to read in Mandarin, but are easy to read in dialects. We believe that Mandarin should be the standard. Of course, it would be best if we avoid conflicts between Mandarin and the local dialect.
