Parents born in the 1990s used to name their children this way

This is a photo taken casually at a CDC station in my hometown county. On the screen, there are lists of children born after 15 years old. Most of the parents of these children are born in the 1990s.

When I saw it, any name on it could be used as a character name in a novel. Do parents born in the 1990s name their children this way?

Think of the popular names of our post-90s generation, Ming, Qiang, Gang, Ting, Min, Chao, Hui, Zhen, Wei, these words are in their In the name, it is almost extinct. These four names could only be seen in novels before, but now they can be encountered randomly.

In order to more comprehensively analyze the naming style of parents born in the 1990s, I asked my friends born in the 1990s on WeChat, "What did you name your children?" What's the name?" The answers were as follows:

Mei Aohan, Mei Yiran, Chen Shihan, Chen Shijuan, Chen Yihang, Lu Xiaoran, Lu Shihui, Chen Zihan, Li Yuning, Xiong Jiaxuan, Xiong Jialin, Lu Wenyi, Ling Yunxi, Yu Chenyang, Yu Chenxi, Zhao Jiahe, Huang Xiaoma, Lei Qiaosen, Liu Zihan, Zhu Ruihan, Hu Xuan, Ling Haoxuan, Li Yuzi, Zou Hexi, Fan Luchen, Yiyi Nuo, Zhang Zihao, Wang Zihan, Ding Zixin, Yang Yichen, Lu Shuyan, Huang Ziqi, Huang Zike, Wang Luohao, Tang Yuchen, Liu Xinyue.

These are not from Baidu, they are all told truthfully by friends around me. After reading this list, I suddenly felt like, why are there so many poets around me? It seems that poetry and distance have not been forgotten by everyone. The longest poem written by the post-90s generation is about their children’s names.

When analyzing the naming styles of parents born in the 1990s, I summarized the following three points.

1) Parents born in the 1990s prefer three-character names. Although they have different personalities, educational backgrounds, and geographical locations, their brain circuits are surprisingly consistent at this point. I randomly asked more than thirty people, but none of them had two-letter names.

2) The names chosen by parents born in the 1990s tend to be literary. There are four main genres, Korean drama genre, Qiong Yao genre, martial arts genre, and Shijing genre. Basically, they are either like the names of the male and female protagonists in Korean dramas (such as Chen Shihan, Xiong Jiaxuan), or the names of the male and female protagonists in Qiong Yao's novels (such as Lu Shuyan, Wang Luohao), or the names of the male and female protagonists in Jin Yong's and Gu Long's novels (such as Mei Aohan, Lu Xiaoran), or names like those translated from "The Book of Songs" and "Tang Poems and Song Ci" (such as Zhao Jiahe, Li Yuning).

3) When choosing a name, parents born in the 1990s pay attention to three major elements:

a. Be unique and not different from other children. Duplicate name.

b. It should look elegant and read well.

c. You need to understand it, but you can’t understand it immediately.

The names chosen by parents born in the 1990s appear to be diverse, but in fact the styles are generally unified. Most of them are based on the refinement of characters, supplemented by the refinement of sounds. They pursue profound meanings and hope that people will live up to their names. Moreover, it is best to be absolutely independent and unparalleled in the world.

If you expand the list, you will find that in order to avoid having the same name as others, many parents born in the 1990s simply choose to use uncommon words:

Dare I ask, how many can you recognize? In short, names with rare characters are difficult to recognize, write, and input. If you can't read, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, it is the future teachers who will suffer.

In the naming system of parents born in the 1990s, the "Xiao X style" used by the previous generation, such as "Xiao Qiang, Xiao Ming", is basically outdated. "Zhen Zhen, "Quietly" such "duplicate character style" has been eliminated, "Zhang Yan, Li Miao" such as "Five Elements Missing X Style" has been directly removed from the shelves.

That was truly a united front, raising the flag to revolt, refreshing the naming style of the older generation, and daring to make the sun and moon change the sky.

According to statistics, among the 5 million newborns in 2017, the three most popular words were: Xuan, Han, and Zi.

The top three baby boy names are: Zixuan, Haoran, and Jiaxuan.

The top three baby girls are: Zihan, Zixuan, and Zixuan.

Zi, Xuan, Han, Zi, Ze, Yan, Rui and Xin have become super popular names among parents born in the 1990s.

It seems that no matter how much change is made, popular items will still appear. There is no best name, only better. What I like is invincible.

The name of the child is the concern of the parents.

Seeing so many names reminds me of Neruda's poem, "Who wrote your name among the stars in the south with fonts like smoke and clouds" ? ”

May every baby grow up healthily, and may every name shine with its own light.
