The student's surname is "Guan", and the teacher never calls her by her name in class, just because the teacher doesn't dare to call her by her name.

Text/Xiang Cheng Talks about Education

Names are usually given by parents or relatives, which contain blessings and expectations. Just like my own name is to commemorate the day when I was born. one day. Although each name wants to express something different, it can never change the probability of having the same name.

Students and parents alike hate names that have the same name as their own, and I am no exception. In the past, because the Internet was not developed, duplicate names were not taken seriously and discovered. However, with the continuous development of the Internet, the issue of duplicate names has entered the field of vision of parents.

Naming is the number one worry for parents. The name cannot be the same, but it must have a unique meaning and impress the teachers and classmates. As a result, some strange names emerged.

This classmate’s name is a name that came up after the rise of the Internet, in order to avoid duplication of names by parents. Judging from the surname and character alone, both are good names with good meanings and contain the expectations and blessings of the parents.

But parents ignored one problem when choosing names. They did not read the first and last names together several times. As a result, after going to school, the name was laughed at by classmates and even teachers. I didn’t ask any questions about the students, and I didn’t even dare to call the students by their full names.

Because as soon as the teacher called this classmate’s name, the class burst into laughter and couldn’t suppress classroom discipline at all. This classmate's surname is "Guan", and his last name is "Yin". He was named after the star Zhu Yin.

But this classmate’s name becomes a homophone, which is homophonic to “Guanyin Bodhisattva”. As a result, as soon as the teacher asked a question, a classmate immediately answered, "Where is the Tathagata Buddha?" Where is Sun Wukong?

What’s even funnier is that every time it’s time for an exam, this student will have different fruits on his desk, and some of them will pray to him in person to help him pass the exam. Guan's grades have not improved because of his name, and he is even tired of studying.

Unsurprisingly, the name will be followed for a lifetime, so the impact it will have on students is also immeasurable. It affects their grades when they are students and affects their work after graduation. Also because of the name, many job opportunities have been lost and travel has been affected.

There have been candidates whose names were admitted to the bank but were rejected, and there were also candidates who were admitted to the graduate school but were eliminated because their names could not be recognized. Such cases abound and are not isolated.

Although there are not many names with homophones like this, they will definitely affect students' self-confidence and self-esteem. Therefore, there are still many issues that parents need to pay attention to when naming their students. What are the specific issues? Let’s take a look.

There are many issues that need to be paid attention to when naming students. Like the homophone names mentioned above, you need to avoid them because they will affect students' self-esteem and self-confidence. After thinking about the name, be sure to read the first name and surname several times, so that the problem of homophones can be well avoided.

Just like Xiong Chumo (Bear Infested), Du Ziteng (Stomach Pain), Wu Youbing (Wu Yousick), Ma Tongcai (Toilet Seat), etc. are all homophone names. Not only teachers don't dare to call such a name, but even students themselves are embarrassed to say their full names.

Furthermore, try not to use names with uncommon words. In order to avoid duplication of names, many parents are willing to use uncommon characters when naming their students. However, even teachers do not recognize many of the uncommon characters. In order to avoid trouble and embarrassment, they will selectively ignore students, which will inevitably affect their grades in the long run.

There is also a type of parents who combine pseudo-duplicate names with names with uncommon characters. In this way, the situation of duplicate names does not exist, but it is also more difficult to distinguish the identity of the students, like His father's surname was Zhao and his mother's surname was Yu. As a result, the student's name was "Zhao Yufu Laibao".

Such a name is too unusual, and it is the focus of discussions among classmates after dinner. It is also one of the factors that distracts students from studying. Therefore it needs to be avoided as well.

In addition, there are "pseudo-compound" names, which either take the mother's surname or the father's surname.

It is very unusual to find a surname at random. However, during the high school entrance examination or college entrance examination, as well as important exams or occasions, you will find out how much trouble the name brings to the students. At that time, you will have to think about it. It's too late. Therefore, it should be avoided as much as possible.

Names are related to students' future and development, and affect their grades. A good name, even a name with the same name, will not have such a big impact. But the impact of a non-duplicate but problematic name is immeasurable.

The student stage affects learning, and then affects the high school and college entrance examinations, and the fate of students will also be rewritten. Therefore, you must pay attention and be cautious when choosing a name, and avoid homophones.
