1. It’s easy to make a living with a cheap name
Because in rural areas in the past, due to low productivity levels, people were always running around to get enough to eat. The economy was relatively backward and medical facilities were lacking. Weak, children can easily become seriously ill due to minor illnesses, so there is a saying among many elderly people that it is easier to support children with particularly tacky names. At that time, keeping the child alive was the most important thing. Therefore, during this period, it is easy to hear names like Ergou and Huniu. This is what the old people often say: it’s easy to make a living with a cheap name.
2. Men don’t have heaven, and women don’t deserve immortals.
In some rural areas, when naming, there is a saying that “men don’t have heaven, and women don’t deserve immortals.” "Heaven" and "Xian" are inappropriate to use in names, which originates from ancient sayings. It is said that it is easy to make mistakes. Nowadays, although parents want their children to grow up and be successful in their careers, sometimes they are not so great. This makes the meaning of the name far from reality. It is easy to cause psychological stress to children. That is to say, they are worried that the name is too big and cannot be afforded. The difference between the name and reality is too great, and others laugh at him. So they generally don't choose a more common name.
3. The cultural influence of the golden mean
In China, the golden mean is still relatively strong, and the golden mean actually means kindness and humility! As the saying goes, "You can't be too pushy as a person." Because in the past, being too outstanding could easily arouse the jealousy of others and be detrimental to one's own protection. Therefore, due to the influence of this moderate culture, many people in rural areas still do not care too much about naming someone. But now this situation is slowly becoming more and more diluted.
