In order to achieve this goal, some parents will naturally use uncommon words to name their children.
However, many times it backfires. Parents often make jokes when they use a word as their child's name without knowing its meaning.
How embarrassing is it to give a child a misspelled name?
A netizen shared an experience when he was a teacher. At that time, the netizen was teaching in a school. When he was looking at the student roster, he found a girl's name was Zizan.
There is nothing wrong with this name at first glance. The girl's name is Xun, which gives people a beautiful meaning.
But the teacher's reaction after seeing the name was trembling with fear and immediately wrote a letter to the girl's parents.
It turns out that the real meaning of the word "Xun" is "the pearl jade contained in the mouth of the deceased". Maybe the girl's parents like the pronunciation of this word, but they think "Han" is a bit vulgar, so they use the word "Xun" next to the word Wang.
After receiving the teacher's letter, parents immediately paid attention to it and went to the school to find the teacher in person, ready to discuss the name change of the child together.
In fact, besides Xun, there are many words that look beautiful on the surface, but their meanings are not suitable for children's names.
For example: sadness
The word "lament" looks melancholy and is often used by some leading men in TV dramas or novels, so if parents are fans of short stories, they may bring "lament" into their baby's name.
But in fact, the meaning of the word "Yi" is very bad. Its original meaning is "dying when you are young", and it also means great disaster, accident, psychological sadness and regret. It can be seen that this word is not suitable for the name.
Another example: Chongqing
Many people will wonder how the word Chongqing has a bad meaning. We often say "unswerving" and "unswerving" It seems that this is a beautiful word, which means that feelings will last forever.
In fact, if you look at the dictionary, you will find that the word "Chongqing" itself has the meaning of "change", indicating that attitudes or feelings have changed.
In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, it means "water becomes dirty", which has obvious derogatory meaning, so this word is not suitable for the name.
What should parents pay attention to when naming their children?
First of all, don't use uncommon words to name children.
Although many uncommon words look beautiful and unusual, their practical meanings are negative.
Parents use uncommon words in their children's names without knowing their children's meaning, which will undoubtedly make their children's names a joke.
Secondly, children's names should not be painted too much.
For children, it is a great challenge to write their names with many strokes, especially in the exam, many children just write their names for a long time, which is easy to make mistakes and will affect the exam results.
Finally, parents should pay attention to avoid homophones when naming their children.
Many names seem to have good meanings, but they are homophonic to read. For example, there is a girl named "Bear Haunted" on the Internet, which sounds very literary, but the homonym of this name collided with the comic book "Bear Haunted".
A homophonic name will make children make a lot of jokes in class, which is very unfavorable to the healthy growth of children, so parents must be careful in naming their children.
Xuan dad has something to say.
There are many ways for parents to name their children now. Some people will follow their own preferences, some will look up the Xinhua dictionary, and some will pay a professional naming agency to help their children name.
But no matter which way, parents should understand that the name is a symbol that will accompany their children all their lives. We should be rational and cautious in naming their children, and we should not only pay attention to individuality and uniqueness.
