Why do we attach so much importance to children's names? For parents, children's names often carry their parents' expectations.
For example, the name Stephen Chow, his mother took the sentence "Xiongzhou Fog Column, Juncai Xingchi" in "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", which pinned his mother's expectations on him, and of course, in the end, Xing Ye did not live up to his mother's expectations.
There is also the name of the star Ren Xianqi, which is the inspiration his father found from the "Analects", taken from the phrase "see the virtuous and think together", hoping that his son can always examine his own shortcomings and learn from the virtuous Xi from time to time.
It may not be so complicated for us ordinary people to choose a name, and many people feel that which name is good, so they just use it.
The neighbor's daughter in my hometown is called "Yinuo", which is taken from "Yinuo Qianjin", and later another neighbor thought that the name of the family was very good, so he directly changed it to "Nuoyi" to use.
So in fact, you will find that there are characteristics of names in various eras, such as most of the boys of our parents' generation take names such as "Oriental, Red Flag, Founding of the People's Republic of China, Founding of the Army" and so on, while women like to use names such as "Fen, Branch, Fang, and Xiang".
To our post-80s and post-90s, the name has new characteristics, boys like to be called "Dragon, Fei, Bin, Chao" and so on, and girls are "Juan, Nan, Hong, Ya" as the most.
Later, after the 80s and 90s, they became parents and parents, and the name has characteristics, "Zihanxuan" is a famous hit, rotten street, a class called "Zixuan" can come out seven or eight, and the teacher shouts "Zihan" and can stand up six or seven.
Now that the era of "Zi, Han, Xuan" has passed, many children of the "Zihanxuan" generation have gone to high school and even gone to college, and now a new round of popular names is here again, let's take a look at the popular names of newborns in 2023!
The popular style is better, at most, the teacher named and stood up for a few, but the names of this generation of children not only have popular models, but also have many other characteristics, and the teacher is afraid to see it, and even said "I don't dare to name names" and "I don't want to name names", for fear of making jokes. So what are the characteristics of the names of this generation of children?
01) There are many rare words
Since the previous child had a high rate of duplicate names, in order to avoid the rate of duplicate names, let's give the child a name with rare words!
So many parents check the dictionary to give their children a name with rare words, there is a child in his hometown named "Cao", this word is actually Wu Zetian before he ascended the throne before the word, meaning "the sun and the moon are in the sky".
Although the meaning is better, this word is a bit obscure and difficult to write.
In fact, it is not recommended to give the child a name with rare words, on the one hand, it is difficult to write rare words, and there are many strokes, on the other hand, it involves the problem of children's future school registration.
When we were in high school, there was a classmate whose name was very special, called "Si", and it couldn't be typed at all with pinyin input method.
Therefore, although rare words can avoid duplicate names, try to avoid them to avoid causing trouble in the later stage.
02) Patchwork together a four-character name
There are a lot of four-character names for the post-10s, and most of them use the combination of parents' surnames to name their children.
According to the report, from 2014 to 2017, the proportion of newborns trying to use the combination of their parents' surnames increased rapidly, and the proportion doubled during the four years, reaching 2.51% for males and 1.73% for females.
The child was not originally a compound surname, and he forced the child to make up a compound surname, and it was okay to make it up, but it sounded awkward if it was not good.
For example, Li Wei Chengxi, Zhang Chen Wanchu, etc., the last two words of these names sound very good, but adding two surnames always feels weird, and there is a feeling of being put together.
03) Strange names
A few years ago, there was a news on the hot search, a couple in Hebei because they liked the game "Glory of Kings", and named the child "Glory of Kings" after birth.
Even the staff of the household registration hall advised the couple to be cautious, the child will be easy to be laughed at in the future!
But this couple resolutely named their child King Glory, originally thought that this name was strange enough, but later I found out on the Internet that there was something more "ruthless":
His Royal Highness the Prince, Lamborghini, Xie Zhu Longen, Pigman Superman, Zhao's orphan and so on.
Maybe parents think that such a name is very distinctive, but when you think about the child's school in the future, when the teacher calls the child's name and always attracts a burst of ridicule from the classmates, what will the child feel in his heart?
This kind of name is not as meaningful as nicknames such as "Iron Egg" and "Dog Egg", at least this kind of nickname entrusts the love of parents, hoping that the child will be more solid, grow strong, and be easy to feed.
Parents may not want their children to have a high rate of duplicate names, but it is clear that this type of name is not suitable and can be very awkward to call.
To come up with a good name for your child, parents need to put some thought into it!
Skillful use of "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci"
The Book of Songs and the Book of Chu Ci are treasures in the cultural history of the mainland, which contain a lot of knowledge and are also good sources for names.
For example, Lin Huiyin's name comes from the Book of Songs, Tu Youyou is taken from "Youyou Luming", and Yan Fei is taken from "Yan Yan Yufei, Chachi Qiyu";
Use your parents' names wisely
When I was in high school, the head teacher's daughter was called Miao Muzi, the head teacher's surname was Miao, and the teacher's mother's surname was Li, so I took apart the "Li" and called it Muzi.
There is also a friend named Peng Cheng, everyone thought it was the meaning of Peng Cheng Wanli, but later they got acquainted with each other and learned that his mother's surname was "Cheng", and Peng Cheng also had the meaning of "encountering and bumping into" Cheng.
The girl's name is Li Nianbai, the colleague's surname is Bai, and his husband deliberately chose a name, implying the love of his parents.
There are many skills in choosing a name, parents can choose a good name for their children as long as they are attentive, instead of parents naming them as they like, names like "Glory of Kings" and "Lamborghini" are completely irresponsible for parents.
What is your child's name, and what does the name mean?
