Why are the names in Jin Yong's novels so nice, but in reality most people's names are not so nice?

A name is a symbol of a person, and it also represents a person's taste on some occasions. Moreover, in metaphysics, names are also related to a person's fate, so choosing a good name is almost everyone's wish, but for various reasons, many people's names are not satisfactory.

Jin Yong's novels

Many people will ask, why are the names of the characters in Jin Yong's novels so nice, but the names of most people in reality are not so nice?

In fact, there are several main reasons:

First of all, Jin Yong's novels are literary works after all, which come from life but are higher than life. Therefore, once in life may be called Zhang Wuji, "Wuji" and "He Wuji also Wuji" in novels, and New Wei Wuji, one of the four famous ministers in the Warring States Period, and Wuji, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, all add a lot of color to this name.

Secondly, many people's names are influenced by surnames, and it is not easy to shine. But in the novel, many people's names are completely imagined by the author, so they can call them whatever they want. For example, Ren Woxing, the founder of demonism, and Xiang Wentian, a bright left-hander, whose names largely represent their character and style. Similarly, Dong Fangbubai and Dugu seek defeat. In reality, I only see the author of the article "The Banyan Tree in My Hometown", whose name is Huang Helang, which is probably a perfect match.

Then the names of characters in Jin Yong's novels imply a certain meaning, which makes readers have a certain sense of identity with the names of characters. For example, the legend of the condor heroes, the five wonders of the Central Plains, the evil yellow living in Peach Blossom Island, wearing blue clothes because the five elements of the East belong to wood, and there is a wooden word in the traditional "medicine"; Ouyang Feng and Xi Du, who also have a golden name in their names, live in Bai Tuo Villa and so on. But in reality, he can't attach so much importance to the five elements.

Then there is the question of probability. After all, the characters in the novel are few, and so are the names we know. There must be some names in the world that we can't imagine. For example, some time ago, I heard that there was a freshman named "Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period" and so on.

To sum up, naming is a very personal thing after all. Some people may think it sounds good, others may think it's just so-so, as long as they like it.
