What are the taboos in naming children?

1. Don’t have the same name as your elders: Respecting your elders has always been our country’s traditional culture. When parents name their children, try not to have the same name as their elders. When naming their children, parents can discuss it with the elders at home, so that they can not only brainstorm ideas but also avoid duplication of names. If there is any historical celebrity in the family, it is best not to be like the celebrity. Although such names are domineering, they can easily arouse cynicism and bring psychological burden to children, such as "Liu Bei", "Zhang Fei", "Li Shimin" and so on.

2. Do not use uncommon words: Many parents name their children with uncommon words in order to show their individuality. Although such a name is more personal, it will also bring a lot of inconvenience. For example, names such as "Zhou_", "Ma__", and "Wang_" are difficult to write and recognize. Once a child introduces himself, he may not be able to leave an impression on others, and may even be nicknamed by others. In addition, when children are young, writing is already very laborious. If the name is too difficult to write, the child may feel tired of learning.

3. Don’t have unpleasant homophonic sounds: Some parents only pay attention to the meaning when choosing names, but not the pronunciation. This leads to unpleasant homophonic sounds in their children’s names, which makes them teased. For example, names such as "Shi Zhenxiang", "Yin Daosong" and "Yang Wei" have very good meanings, but they are embarrassing to read. In order to prevent their children from becoming the laughing stock of others, parents must pay special attention to words that can cause ambiguity.
