Names are symbols of status. These names are unique, and it is unlikely that they will be repeated nationwide.

As a symbol of identity, name is a special code used by individuals to distinguish others in social activities. It not only represents personal image, but also has many implications.

A good name often contains four elements: first, it sounds smooth and pleasant; Second, it is easy to remember and identify, and uncommon words should be avoided as much as possible; Third, it contains beautiful cultural connotations; Fourth, it pays attention to the balance of the five elements.

Since ancient times, people have been very concerned about naming names. In the past, most parents asked Mr. Wang to name their children because of their low educational level. According to their date of birth, Mr. Wang worked out one or two missing items in their children's Jin Mu, and then used specific words to make up for the congenital missing part of their names, so as to make the children's future destiny smooth. People who believe in numerology are very concerned about the balance of five elements in names.

In a certain period, under the influence of cultural orientation, people named their names with distinctive characteristics of the times. For example, in the decades from 1940s to 1980s, men's names were Jianguo, Jianjun and Guoqiang, while women's names were Chunhua, Xiuying and Hongjuan, resulting in a high rate of duplicate names.

When I was a senior one, there were two Li Jianguo students born in the same year in my class. Every time the teacher handed out the names of the exercise books, two Li Jianguo would come to the lecture table to get the exercise books, which often caused confusion. Later, in order to distinguish, the teacher called the one born at the beginning of the month "Big Li Jianguo" and the one born at the end of the month "Little Li Jianguo", and put brackets behind the names on the cover of their exercise books, in which the words "Big" and "Small" were written respectively, and finally distinguished their identities.

Nowadays, parents born in 1980s and 1990s, in order to prevent the rate of duplicate names and show their individuality, have given their children unique and even unconventional names, which has led to many strange names.

To sum up, these names mainly have the following types.

First, there are names with false compound surnames.

If the father's surname is Li and the mother's surname is Mei, they will directly create a pseudo-compound surname-Li Mei, and name the child Li Mei X, or Li Mei xx, or even simply Li Mei. People who are not familiar with the compound surname will mistakenly think that Li Mei is a compound surname after seeing this name, but it is not. It's an artificial fake compound surname.

But from the perspective of human relations, the pseudo-compound surname is full of deep love. After all, children are the crystallization of their parents, and their parents' genes account for half. It makes sense for children to take their parents' surnames as surnames.

There is a high school girl named "Whampoa Military Academy". Because of this name, she is often laughed at by her classmates. Her name is also the creative work of her parents. Her father's surname is Huang and her mother's surname is Pu, so she gave her daughter this name. However, it is not surprising that this name has the same name as the famous modern military academy in China's history and is often used as a joke by students.

Two, more than three words of multi-word name.

In this era when everyone pursues individuality, names with more than three words are common.

A student surnamed Xie was named "Thank God" by his parents. To outsiders, although the name sounds very personal, when family members and relatives call his name, they always feel that there is a lack of intimacy and it is awkward to call it.

A father who loved the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period named his son "Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period" after his birth, hoping that he would like history as much as himself.

A classmate surnamed Zhu, whose parents named him "Jumu Langma Peak", felt very domineering at first sight. It turned out that this name pinned his parents' expectations on him, hoping that his mind would be as grand and broad as Mount Everest.

Third, use uncommon names.

Some parents worry that their children's names are the same as others and want to give them a unique name, so they look up some uncommon words in the dictionary.

As we all know, such a name will cause a lot of trouble.

First of all, it is difficult to recognize and remember. Imagine how embarrassing it is for freshmen to suddenly find words they don't know when they call the roll in class and recite the names of uncommon words. Silence for a few seconds will inevitably cause the whole class to burst into laughter, which in turn will affect classroom discipline.

Some teachers are worried that if they mispronounce uncommon words, they will make jokes and reduce the chance of naming uncommon words when interacting with students. In this case, these students will be treated unfairly and their studies will be affected.

Secondly, uncommon words are rarely used at ordinary times, and most of them don't enter computer fonts. In the future, children will encounter a lot of trouble when handling some documents, which is difficult to display when printing.

Finally, there are uncommon words in the name, and your classmates and playmates may be deliberately isolated and excluded because they can't name or don't understand the meaning of the name. Over time, it is easy to leave a psychological shadow on children.

Don't think that just because you give your child an unusual name, you feel that you have a culture and your child has a personality. Names are used to call others, not to show off. If most people can't name a person, then the name loses its meaning of existence, and it is best to change it to avoid unnecessary negative influence on children because of the name in the future.

Fourth, homophonic names sound funny.

China people have always paid attention to "homophonic culture", which is widely circulated among the people, such as:

Because it is the same as the vowel "fa", people will think that the more 8, the better.

Magpies have the word "happy" and are often regarded as auspicious birds. Magpies visiting the door are regarded as happy events.

Fish and "fish" are homophonic, and people like to eat fish on holidays, which symbolizes that there is more than one year. Wait a minute.

Because Chinese has an unusually rich vocabulary, if you don't pay attention to the name, you can remind the listener of a serious and indecent homophonic, which will bring a lot of trouble to the owner of the name. If you don't change your name, this trouble will accompany you for life.

For example, the name is bear, and the homonym is not elegant enough. For another example, the four names in the picture are all like this.
