The name is not only a synonym for "personal symbol", but also condenses the high expectations of parents for their children. Therefore, in the big matter of naming, parents have also exhausted their lifelong learning, turning over allusions, looking up dictionaries...
Like when I first named my son, I really struggled to think about it, and I also checked the Internet specifically for "five elements of gossip" and thought of a lot of ways. I believe that when I name a child like me, I must be very entangled, always want to give the child a best name, but look it up, want to come and go, and I didn't expect that there was no name suitable for me.
Of course, there are also some parents who are very assertive, and do not take the "ordinary road", they name their children with "father surname + mother surname" directly combined, chic and novel and good, but this new trend of naming swept in, but also brought new problems.
【Story Sharing】
When my friend Cao Qing gave birth to a baby and sat in confinement, we met to visit at home. Friends meet, the atmosphere is lively, from the birth experience to the name of the child. Everyone agreed that taking a name is a brain-burning thing, but the party Cao Qing did not think so, and said bluntly: the name of the child is thought of in the womb, easy to remember and good to hear, it is called Chen Cao.
Everyone suddenly realized that Cao Qing's husband's surname was Chen, and the child's name was simply combined with the parents' surname. "Don't say it's pretty good." A friend praised Cao Qing on the spot as a talented person. Cao Qing is also very proud: "This kind of naming is very popular now, and the combination of the father's surname and the mother's surname represents the inheritance of the bloodline." ”
But after a few months, Cao Qing regretted that the name was too hasty. The reason is that Cao Qing and his wife took their children to do routine childcare checks, and they did not expect to bump into two little guys with the same name and surname on the same day, and when they asked the reason, they were all combined with the father's surname and the mother's surname.
The couple's mouth sighs is fate, but in the heart is an unspeakable taste. After all, Chen and Cao are both big surnames, and children will most likely encounter this "alternative fate" in the future.
Is it advisable to combine the parent surname + the mother surname?
It is natural for the parents to receive the names of the parents. Although the naming method of father surname + mother surname is simple and direct, it is also the embodiment of the improvement of women's family status in the new era, representing the inheritance of family blood. From this point of view, this new way of naming has its own remarkable places.
Unfortunately, with the popularity of this way of naming, many parents have begun to pursue formalization. After all, the combination of the father's surname + the mother's surname is small in selectivity, not only is it easy to appear the embarrassment of the "collision name" of the same name and the same surname, but it is also relatively difficult to read, plus it is only a patchwork combination of simple surnames, which inevitably lacks cultural connotation support.
Not only do you want to keep the parents' surname in the name, but also want the child's name not to be conventional, these essence points to master:
1. Add words cleverly
According to Chinese custom, most children follow the father's surname, and the combination of the father's surname and the mother's surname is forced to become single and fixed. But if you know how to add words skillfully in the process of naming, the results obtained are completely different.
For example, the famous star second generation "Wen Ai Ma", which is a representative work of the father's surname + mother's surname, added a love word in the middle, which is both smooth and good, and also implies the feelings between parents. The "one-word difference" is cleverly added in the middle, and the results presented are completely different.
2. Rational use of harmonic processing
The child's name includes both the father's and the mother's surname, and does not have to be copied from the same word. After all, among the hundred family names in China, there are many surnames that are not very distinct, so it is a good idea to replace them with homophones or other consonant characters.
To make a simple analogy, such as the father's surname is Li, the mother's surname is Mou, if you take the name "Li Mou" directly, it sounds ordinary. If you change the angle, name the child "Li Muhe", add a word between the father's surname and the mother's surname, which not only greatly reduces the probability of duplicate names, but also makes the name appear more profound, and "Muhe" also has the meaning of heaven-made union, which can highlight the deep feelings of parents.
3. Artistic processing
Who says that the father and mother's names are given very fixed? Yang Mi, a popular star that everyone is familiar with, is also a representative of the combination of father's surname and mother's surname, but Yang's father has carried out artistic processing when he took the name.
According to Yang Mi himself in an interview, because his parents are surnamed Yang, plus he is also surnamed, Yang's father is smart and simply named after "power", in mathematics, "power" represents the cubic, popularly speaking, "a family of three are surnamed Yang".
After understanding this layer of causality, is it particularly high-level to go back and interpret Yang Mi's name? It not only includes the surnames of parents, but also highlights the cultural heritage, which is good to hear, smooth and chic and novel.
Of course, in addition to mastering the above three major points, we must also remind parents and friends that these two taboos should not be committed:
One: complex strokes
Because of the singularity of the surname, when replaced by homophones, I racked my brains to find various strange words to replace, so that the name strokes were complicated. For example, words such as 骉, 寗, 暒 and so on, not only have complex strokes, but also have a low recognition rate.
The integration of such strange words into the child's name not only can not play a finishing touch, but also may cause a certain degree of social obstacles to the child.
Second: avoid bad associations
"Sound beauty, shape beauty, meaning more beautiful" is known as the highest realm of naming. But many times, parents name it based on a momentary passion, without serious and careful scrutiny, and if they are not careful, they may bring bad associations.
For example: Shi Zhenxiang, literally no problem, but even read a little "taste", if you give children a similar name with bad associations, it is easy for them to become the object of ridicule of their peers and hurt their self-esteem.
The name is the invisible wealth given to the child by the parents, and it is also the mark that accompanies the child's life. Therefore, when taking a name, parents should put away their jokes, correct their attitude, and face up to the importance of taking a name.
