What is your name? Lee (you guessed it)... How did your strange name come about?

Every grown child wants to know the story behind their name. Recently, Chongqing Depuwai Chinese School in Banan District arranged a special homework assignment, and parents and classmates were very enthusiastic about completing this parent-child homework, and then students posted anecdotes about their names. It turns out that naming can commemorate relatives, send messages to the future, and declare love, but in fact, any strange name has a reason.

This homework makes the strong family affection inseparable, and the students sigh: Mom and Dad really have a thousand ideas when they take names!

My name is Wu Qi, to commemorate my mother's birthday, because my mother's birthday is May 7.

A parent said: The daughter's name is "Yiran", which means at a glance, the so-called "natural carving, clear water out of the hibiscus". No matter what happens in the world, I hope that she will always maintain a simple and innocent heart.

Another parent posted: My child's name is "Yu Lu", a piece of beautiful jade in the cosmic space, I hope that people will be as named, the heart is as white as jade, and the heart is kind and innocent and romantic.

There are also parents who directly show affection in their children's names, such as a father who said: The reason is very simple, my surname is "Gong", my son is called "Gong Zi" (harmonic "Gongzi"), and my daughter is called "Gong Zhu" (harmonic "Princess"). A mother said: I named my daughter Yizhen, for me she is the only treasure in the world.

Monday classmates said that their strange name comes from the fact that I was born on Monday, and I am the only one of my parents, who hope that I will always strive for the first.

Another student, Wang Yiyi, said that when taking the name, her mother consulted a large number of surname strokes and feng shui gossip, and it was difficult to turn the tide in the family meeting and determine the name. "Although the name is ordinary, Wang Yiyi is by no means ordinary, it is also unusual and ordinary"

Classmate Li Kai said: My name is a bit strange, the "Book of Poetry" says, "its person is beautiful and cai", which means multi-talented, plus my father is a comic, so he gave me such a name that reads "you guess" in Chongqing dialect. This name brought me endless distress. For example, I always say it many times when people ask me my name, and almost everyone talks to me like this:

"What's your name?" "Li Kai ('You guess' in Chongqing dialect)." "What the heck." "Li Kai." "Can I guess?" "My name is Li Kai." Hahaha.
