Some matters related to naming

1. The name you choose is not likely to be repeated with others

Use your brain when choosing words, and try to avoid super names such as "Hua, Ming, Zhen, Ying, Li, Hong" Commonly used words. Of course, we cannot go to the other extreme and deliberately search for those extremely rare and strange characters. Mr. Zhang Taiyan (also known as Zhang Binglin) is a modern philologist who recognizes many strange and weird characters. He named his daughter " " (the Chinese character for Gu Zhan) and " " (the Chinese character for Gu Li). These two names would not be the same as others in the market, but almost no one would recognize them. Of course, they could not pronounce them, so they were not What a great name.

The second way to make your name less likely to be repeated with others is to use more brains in word combinations. For example: Zifang, Qiechu, Yangqian, Yanzhi, etc. The selected characters are all common, but the combination is unconventional, so it gives people new ideas. , Lu Xun's discussion of "meaning in a name" is the key to a "good name". If you can use your brain to make a name with two or three words contain health, positivity and other meanings, it will be a high-level and generous move. Several key points of meaning in the name:

(1) Pay attention to seeking some kind of connection between the surname and the given name

This connection can be in meaning, such as Miao Qing, Gao Yang, Earnest, Azure, Yan Zheng, Lu Yao, He Wei, Random, Yu Cong, Tian Jian, Zhang Gong, Shu Huai, Ma Zhiyuan, Zhong Dingwen, Wang Zhefan, Zhang Tianyi, Yu Deshui, etc.; this connection can also be glyph-wise, Such as Yi Yin, Ruan Yuan, Nie Er, Jin Xin, Shi Lei, Shu Sheyu, Xu Yanwu and so on.

(2) If possible, it is best to associate the name with an idiom. Such as Zhou Erfu, He Qifang, Ma Daocheng, Entering the Dragon, Lu Chunqing, Ye Chengyin, Mu Chengzhou, Ji Youxin, Gan Weiru, Zhuang Yixie, Zhang Yichi and so on. It reminds people of a certain idiom and feels it is meaningful.

(3) What is more elegant is to use a certain sentence in ancient classics as the basis for the name. Of course, this requires the name giver to have high cultural accomplishment and broad knowledge reserves.

Zhou Bangyan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, had the courtesy name Meicheng. "Bangyan" comes from "The Book of Songs Zheng Feng": "His son is Bangzhiyanxi." It means "He is the hero of the country!"

The name of the writer and litterateur Zheng Zhenduo comes from "The Rites of the Zhou Dynasty": "Four horses ring the bell, and a group of officials make the flag." Zhen means to knock; Duo means the big bell used to announce political and religious laws. Zhenduo means educating the people.

Social activist Chu Tunan, his name is taken from "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou": "There is a bird, its name is Peng, it carries the blue sky, and then Tunan." Tunan, here is a lofty ambition representation. 3. "Sounding and pleasant to the ear, easy to spread" is the third principle of naming. Names are called by people. In this case, the issue of pronunciation certainly needs to be discussed. When choosing a name, we should not only pursue elegance and meaningfulness of meaning, and be concise and clear in writing, but also take into account whether the pronunciation is loud or not, whether it is pleasant to the ears or not, and whether it is smooth and easy to pronounce. Xiang Wang Guangguang, Li Liji, etc. are like tongue twisters and are not easy to read. If you want to choose a good name, you can't just rely on feeling. You must understand the reason behind it.

First of all, the pronunciation should avoid the occurrence of "double tone" and "duplicate rhyme". We know that every Chinese character is composed of initial consonants and finals. Double tone means that two characters have the same initial consonant, and "duplicate rhyme" means two The letters and rhymes are the same. The name is very short, usually two or three characters, or at most four characters. If there are double tones and overlapping rhymes, the pronunciation will be too monotonous. Moreover, the name is chosen by the individual, so he has full freedom and is not restricted by ready-made vocabulary, so It should and is entirely possible to avoid it. For example, Yi Yiyou, Hu Honghua, Ran Ruiru, etc. have good meaning, but they suffer from the problem of double tones. Another example is Deng Heng's voice. The reason why Ye Tiejie is particularly difficult to read is because of the overlapping rhyme. If for some special reason, the double tone and overlapping rhyme of the name cannot be changed, be sure to avoid the same tone and rhyme of the first and last name.

Secondly, when it comes to matching the tones of names, don’t use all characters with flat tones, and don’t use all characters with oblique tones. According to the tones of Mandarin, it’s best not to use all Yinping, Yangping, or all Up and down. This is mainly from the perspective of musical beauty. When naming, you should avoid similarities in tones, especially do not use all the characters Yangping and Shangsheng.

Finally, when choosing words for your name, you must consider the homophonic relationship and try to avoid inelegant and unpleasant objective effects caused by homophony.
