How to give children a good name? What are the precautions for naming? How much do you know about Qiqi's name?

As an indispensable symbol, name plays an irreplaceable role in the development of life. It is very important that the name is engraved with different characteristics of the times, embodies the deep affection and ardent expectations of parents, and contains the pursuit of children's lofty ideals and interests. Having a catchy and unforgettable name often brings a good impression, and the career and work can be smooth sailing. Therefore, every family should pay attention to the importance of names and master some naming skills.

First, the relationship between the name and the five elements

As the five most important substances in nature, Jin Mu is in the cycle of fire, water and soil, which complement each other. Many people think that the four time nodes of a person's birth are related to the five elements. There are many books and inferences like this. It can also be understood that the last word of many people's names is a word containing five elements of information, which may be considered to have a certain guiding role. For example, Li Zekai and Li Zeju, the sons of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, are full of Shui Mu's folk remedies except Jinshui and Wuxing. This view has no scientific conclusion.

Second, the relationship between names and strokes

Some experts believe that the total strokes of names are inextricably linked with life fortune and fleeting time. And all the strokes of the name are divided into heaven, earth, personality, general case and outer case. Through mathematical analysis and stroke combination, analyze the advantages and disadvantages or scores of a name. Because China has a large population, it is difficult to avoid the phenomenon of duplicate names with similar analysis methods, and everyone's fate cannot be exactly the same, so this analysis method is bound to encounter difficulties.

Nevertheless, if a person's name has too many strokes, one is difficult to remember and the other is troublesome to write, it will often become an obstacle in various registration or assessment. Therefore, it is not recommended that you take names with too many strokes.

Third, avoid using those words when naming children.

Because the use of names is so important, we should pay attention to: 1. Don't use unfamiliar words, some of which you don't know yourself, and don't expect others to never forget them. Some people can't even register because their names are too obscure, which is also a lesson. 2. Don't choose names with bad homophony, which will easily make people expect business. If the homonym is not good, it will also have an impact on the information atmosphere, and it is best to avoid it. 3. Don't choose names that are too similar. Many names that are too popular are all one-sided, and it is the easiest to duplicate names. Sometimes there are several students with the same name and surname in a class, and the probability of confusion is too high. You'd better think about it.

Fourth, how to give children a good nickname?

Many people's names are divided into big names and small names, also called baby names. Most of them are brought by grandparents or parents, and the scope of application is mainly in children's childhood or family, and when relatives, friends or neighbors meet their elders. When children grow up, they will have a formal name to go to school or go to society. It is disrespectful to call others by their nicknames except acquaintances. The knowledge of naming babies is not rigorous, and most of them use reduplicated words as names. The nickname of two words sounds kind and warm, full of parents' full love for their children and their true feelings of hoping their children will grow up healthily. Avoid tacky or foreign names, and generally add a small word in front of the name to show kindness.

Fifth, the knowledge of naming and using words.

There is a whole set of theories about naming children. Generally, boys can choose words that are louder, more atmospheric, more energetic or more sunny. For example, Qiang, Gang, Hong, Xu, Jun, Bin, Jian, Rui and so on. Naming girls can refer to some flowers or plants or beautiful names, such as Mei, Dan, Chun, Fang, Juan, Mei, Rong and Jing. With the development of the times, many fashionable words such as elegance, wealth, jiao, princess, ting, Lu and Ru can also be used for reference.

6. Names with distinctive characteristics of the times.

The name is not only an important symbol of a person, but also bears a distinct brand of the times. For example, people born in 1960s and 1970s were named Jianjun, Weidong, Weiguo, Red Army, Xia Hong and Hong Xiang. In 1980s, with the reform and opening up and the rapid economic development, a large number of new era names appeared, such as champion, victory, self-improvement, Yongmei, Fang Hui and Wei Jie. After entering the new century, a large number of more fashionable names have appeared, some of which sound more foreign. With the further acceleration of cultural exchanges, the names of people are no longer accompanied by distinct traces of time, but are full of flowers, each with its own strengths and showing diversified characteristics.

Seven, the important role of seniority in naming.

The traditional cultural custom of word-making appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In particular, some big surnames with a population of over one million or even tens of millions are more prevalent. Generations are closely related to clans and genealogies, especially boys. By convention, most of them should be named by generations. For example, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang personally formulated the principles and methods of naming descendants in order to avoid duplication of names. The name is given according to the law of "generation", and 20 words have been drawn up for the lineage of future generations, and each word is a lifetime. So in retrospect, the names of the Ming royal family are very easy to remember. For example, the names of the Prince and the Fourth Son are Zhu Biao and Judy, Ming Yingzong and Ming Daizong are Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, Mingwuzong and Mingshizong are Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houzong, and so on. It is strange that some princes' names overlap with the periodic table.

With the development of the times, many families now choose two words to name their children, so the frequency and universality of seniority are greatly reduced. However, in some surnames deeply rooted in traditional culture, seniority is still very important. For example, the surname Kong, generational division is very strict. From the Qianlong period, the family has been ranked for more than a hundred generations, such as many contemporary celebrities, such as Kong, Kong, and so on.

8. Names with numbers

The combination of several names has existed since ancient times. The appearance of this name was originally related to the ranking between brothers and sisters. In families with many children, some parents use numbers as their children's names in order to save trouble or be limited by their educational level. The more famous ones are Zhu Yuanzhang's nickname Zhu Wusi, and Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi in Water Margin. There are countless famous people whose names contain numbers in history, such as Zhang Sanfeng, Tang Sanzang, Zhao Jiuzhang, Zhang Jiuling and so on. In the martial arts novels, it is even more common, such as Mao, Hong Qigong, Qiu and so on, which is impressive.

Nine, some suggestions on naming children in the new era

With the comprehensive improvement of the household registration system, newborns usually need to register their official names in the household registration book in about three days, so it is very important to plan ahead and choose a good name for their children.

Some suggestions are provided for your reference only: the words used in the name, especially the last word, should have a good association or some connection with the surname, and it is best to have a good homonym. When choosing words, it is best to refer to some China traditional cultural classics, such as The Book of Songs and Tang Poetry and Song Poetry. For example, the name of our writer Bing Xin is taken from the Tang poem "A piece of Bing Xin in the Jade Pot"; Stephen Chow, a comedian, got his name from "Cai Jun walks in a fog column in Xiongzhou" in Preface to Wang Tengting. The name of the star Jiang Shuying is taken from the poem: The shadow is thin and shallow. These names are both poetic and unforgettable, and they are exemplary. Finally, the names of China people should contain the characteristics of China culture.

Don't choose a name that is too foreign or European. Mr. Lu Xun once said, "what is national is the world", and your characteristic is your advantage. Nowadays, many foreign friends who come to China have also adopted pleasant China names, such as overseas students Cao Cao, Dashan, Guo Jierui, Xiaoxiao and Ah Fu, which shows that they are full of curiosity about China people's names. Let's have a try.
