The ancients had a saying, "It is better to teach a son an art than to give a son a thousand gold, and it is better to teach a son an art than to give a son."
This sentence shows that the ancients believed that the importance of names even exceeded the teaching of money and skills.
For this reason, in mainland tradition, the name is regarded as the first gift from parents to their children, full of parents' love and good wishes for their children. In the past, it was a matter of great importance for parents to choose a name for their children.
In the concept of the ancients, names were often seen as closely linked to personal destiny and family honor. Qualified families will comprehensively consider factors such as the child's birthday, family traditions, and personal characteristics to help the child find a person with high moral integrity to "give the child" a name.
But I don't know if you have noticed that since our post-80s and 90s became parents, children's names have begun to become more casual. For example, "Wu Li makes trouble", "Li Suo, Ran", and "Glory of Kings" are widely circulated on the Internet.
The ancestor probably never dreamed that the child's name could be played like this!
The era of "Zihan" has passed
I don't know if it's because the cultural literacy of our group has deteriorated, but anyway, I found that the ability of the people around me to name their children is really not as good as before.
For example, there was a time when I thought "Zihan" was very good, so "Zihan", "Zihan" and "Zihan" began to get together, and parents seemed to discuss it.
A platform has counted the 30 hottest names of "post-10" children, with girls "Zihan", "Xinyi" and "Zihan" ranking in the top three, and "Zixuan", "Haoyu" and "Haoran" among boys ranking high.
Some netizens came forward to say: Mom is a teacher, and it is said that there are 7 "Zixuan" in her class.
This is very embarrassing, there are two can also be called "Da Zi Xuan" and "Xiao Zi Xuan", how can these 7 be called? Do you want to sort the names of the children? Zixuan No. 1, Zixuan No. 2, Zixuan No. 3......
Some teachers complained about the names of parents, and also made up a short story:
It's outrageous! No wonder some netizens complained: In another 30 years, the vegetable market will be all Aunt Zihan, and the people watching the gate will be Uncle Zixuan!
But fortunately, in recent years, parents have begun to wake up, and finally the "Zihan" generation has passed!
The teacher originally thought that he would no longer have to be embarrassed by the student's name, but he never expected that the parents gave up "Zihan" and "Zixuan" and began to find another way!
A new batch of names that made teachers "up" appeared again
● Embarrassing, the student's name can't be pronounced!
Aren't they afraid that their children's names will be embarrassed by repeating them? So, a couple racked their brains to give their daughter a name that is unique in the country: "爨 (cuàn) 懿 (yì) 曦 (xī)". Don't say it, if you want to duplicate the name of these 3 words, it will take a lot of effort.
However, the unconventional results of parents not only stumped the teacher, but also brought big trouble to the child!
The child was crying while doing his homework, and the mother asked for some reason: Why are you crying?
The girl said aggrievedly: "The word is too difficult to write, what is the surname of the father, it is not good, I have to have the surname of the family." Isn't surname one bad? Isn't surname two bad?"
It turned out that the little girl had just started to learn to write, and the teacher asked the students to learn to write their own names. The other children have started to do their homework, and she is still learning to write her own name!
Coincidentally, there was a junior high school boy whose name was also very difficult to write, a full 103 drawings!
The boy's name is "Xuan Jinglu", he complained, often teachers can't pronounce his name, and every time he is still writing his name in the exam, his classmates have already started to do the questions! Especially in elementary school, this name is really a waste of his time to do the questions!
I have to say that this child's parents are quite educated, just these few rare words, I really can't imagine that there is no cultural background. But is such a name really good? I don't think so!
Not to mention, when children learn to write names when they are young, these 3 words will be more difficult, just say such a difficult word, whether the computer can type it out or not. In case it can't be typed, how should the child's file be entered?
● A homophonic stalk that makes the teacher's scalp tingle
There was a boy who became popular on the Internet because of his name "Xie Zulongen". I took on the role of a teacher, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the teacher! Just imagine that I had to shout "Xie Zulongen" every time I was called by name in class, and I inexplicably felt like I wanted to give him a big salute, what happened?
I thought that the child's name might have been thought up by the parents who were hot-headed and slapped their heads. Who knew that there would be a follow-up to this matter, and some netizens broke the news: He and "Xie Zu Longen" are alumni, and his brother is called "Xie Zu Shengen".
If you want to talk about cows, you have to be the head of this family, Xie Zu Longen, Xie Zu Shengen, ordinary people really don't dare to call this name!
There are also children who are born as "chairmen", and parents focus on one: no matter what happens in the future, do everyone have to call their children "chairman" when they see them?
However, some parents may feel that the chairman of the board of directors is not as good as real money, so a couple in Anqing, Anhui Province, named their children "Wu Shiyi"! This makes us have to speculate that these parents must have a "dream of getting rich" in their hearts that cannot be talked about with others!
There is also a pair of parents, in order to make their son different from childhood, they directly named their child "Li Bushangshu"!
I have to say, this generation of parents is a homophonic stalk, but you guys, will the children agree when they grow up?
Don't mess with the name!
Although it is indeed difficult to duplicate the above names, I still want to remind parents: children's names really don't mess around!
A good name, like a beautiful business card, can help children better show themselves on the road of life and win the respect and favor of others.
On the contrary, a casual and inappropriate name may bring endless distress and embarrassment to children, and even affect their mental health and growth trajectory.
Although these strange names mentioned in the article are all the rage on the Internet, they are really not suitable as children's official names.
It is advisable to consider the child's name in the following ways:
Avoid homonyms and ambiguities: The pronunciation of the name should avoid homophony with unlucky words or words that are easy to cause misunderstanding, so as not to cause unnecessary distress and embarrassment to the child.
Easy to read and write: Names should be simple and clear, easy to read, write and remember. Overly complex or obscure words can cause problems for children in their studies and socialization.
Cultural sensitivities: Take into account cultural background and family traditions when choosing a name. If the family has a specific cultural tradition or religious affiliation, it can be reflected in the name.
Good meaning: The name should have a positive and beautiful meaning, which conveys the expectations and blessings of parents for their children.
Uniqueness: While uniqueness isn't a must, a unique name can help a child stand out from the crowd. However, names that are too unique can also present some challenges, so a balance needs to be found between uniqueness and receptivity.
Avoid over-popularity: Avoid names that are overly popular so that your child doesn't lack individuality among their peers. Consider using some names that are classic, elegant, and not overly common.
Pairing with the last name: The pairing of the first name with the last name is also important. Make sure that the first name and last name are sound, written, and meaningfully coordinated.
