The science of naming

1. Select the naming words. In addition to commonly used words that express beauty, beauty, auspiciousness and sunshine, we should also pay attention to font and pronunciation. First of all, we should avoid two problems in pronunciation. One is polyphonic characters. Such as long, Korean, simple, good and so on. One more word will make others not know which pronunciation is correct, so it is difficult to call it. The second is obscure characters. For example, hey hey? . Although there are not many strokes, many people don't know how to read them. Secondly, we should also avoid two problems from the font. First, there are many rare words with many strokes. Like what? , hey hey. These words not only have many strokes, but also are not commonly used. Second, words with little difference are easy to be misunderstood. For example, ge and yi, righteousness and yi, stagnation and procrastination, victory and victory.

2. The whole name, no matter how many words are connected together, can't be ambiguous, and it can't make the listener have bad negative associations because of similar pronunciation. This problem also includes two aspects. First, there should be no similar problems in the pronunciation of local dialects, and second, there should be no similar problems in the pronunciation of Putonghua. For example, (death), writing (smelling shit), (sterilization, deliberately pronouncing the first word as continuous reading, which is almost the same as absolute pronunciation), relieving diarrhea (diarrhea, interpreted as family name as Xie) and (heartless).

3. Take care of gender. Some words are sensitive to gender, and some words used as names can be used for men, but not for women, and vice versa. For example, women Xiaoshan (Little Three), Jia Wenjing (False Quiet) and Lao Chu (Old Place), men Bu Jian (Weak), Liu Yijie (Leave a piece) and Qian Lexian (Prostate).

4. Take care of customs. The common custom is that different generations don't have to use the same word to name them, and even different words with different sounds (except stage names) are not allowed, otherwise it will be suspected of chaos. If you have given five clothes, it is not one of them. This is the same as the reason why Confucius, Mencius, Yan and Zeng substituted characters for four generations (the success, the beauty, the breadth of Xing Yu, the happiness of Zhao Xianqing, and the prominence of Qin teenagers).

5. Beware of the theory that the zodiac and the birth date are mutually restricted. This is related to Zhouyi's gossip theory and local taboos. For example, the animal sign is that the name of the rabbit can't be pronounced the same as that of the dog, otherwise the dog will bite the rabbit. The zodiac is the name of a snake. You can't carry the word eagle, otherwise it will be suspected that the eagle catches the snake.

6. avoid the beginning of the last vowel, that is, words with initials a, o, e, y and u. Because these words are not the beginning of consonants, it is easy to combine them with the previous word into one word, which leads to ambiguity, that is, commonly known as "swallowing sounds" such as Wang Anli (Wanli), Zhao Aoqiang (Zhao Qiang), Sun Enmin (Sun Min), Zhang Liyi (Zhang Li) and Qian Jingyu (Qian Ju).

7. No matter how many words there are in a name, try to avoid the simplification of the tone of the words. That is, four words with the same tone form a cavity.

8. Words with the same pronunciation as uncle, uncle, aunt and milk. Use it carefully, especially the last word in the name. For example, (uncle), (aunt), (uncle) Liu, etc. Otherwise, it will easily lead to misunderstanding and show disrespect for others.

9. The reason why there are so many taboos in naming is to avoid difficulties and embarrassment in communication, that is, to solve difficulties in writing, reading and listening. Tell a historical story about naming. Zhang Taiyan, a famous figure and great scholar in modern history, named his three daughters Zhang? (Phonetic), Zhang Lan (Phonetic Table), Zhang? (sound exhibition). The names of the three daughters all used obscure words, and as a result, no one came to propose marriage when they were of marriageable age. As a father, Zhang Taiyan had to hold a special banquet to introduce the names, words, writing methods and meanings of his three daughters.

10, which is opposite to the above taboo content, is what needs to be promoted.

1 1, the words selected in the name should be read as loudly as possible, that is, words with vowels beginning with a, o and e. These words sound loud and pleasing to the ear and are more acceptable. Such as seedlings, carrots and leaves.

12. No matter whether the name is two words, three words or four words, the tone of the words should fluctuate, that is, try to use words with different tones in the four tones. In this way, there are ups and downs and a sense of rhythm.

13, if possible, it is best to take into account the stroke order of words, that is, there are both words with more horizontal strokes and words with more vertical strokes. This writing is beautiful.

14. The total number of words used in the name should be more than three words. Try to avoid using one word for surname and one word for first name, so as to reduce the probability of duplicate names.

15, for the same reason. If the surname is one word and the first name is two words, if they overlap, the disadvantages are the same as the first name, and the rate of duplicate names will be higher. Such as Li he.

16. It is better to have a common word for the names of brothers and sisters, so that it is easier to understand the relationship between them and reduce the waste of words.

17, pay attention to distinguish between milk names and big names. Adults like to use single words or overlapping words when naming children, such as Huanhuan, Mingming, Liangliang, etc., in order to facilitate children to practice pronunciation and learn words, which belongs to milk names. When you grow up, your name should be distinguished from your milk name. Otherwise, it not only gives people the feeling that the total length is not large, but also has the problems of low discrimination and easy renaming. In this respect, the distinction between ancient names and characters is worth learning.

18. In addition, some people unilaterally pursue simplicity and memorization, and deliberately choose some common words as names. As a result, there is a high probability of duplicate names, or it is too simple to remember, or it causes jokes, which does not belong to the category of promotion. For example, Ming is a smart man, the horse is a fly, Zheng is a correct person, and so on.
