Words will accompany people throughout their lives. Young parents all hope to give their children a loud, beautiful, beautiful and unique name.
What should you pay attention to when naming? Li Bing and Zhang Shuyan, researchers at the Institute of Language and Writing Applications of the National Language Working Committee, put forward
Ten suggestions:
1. Do not choose polyphonic characters for names. The little girl Dong Qian (pronounced "Qian") was unhappy as soon as she entered school. During the first roll call, the teacher called her Dong "Xi". From then on, her friends gave her nicknames and no longer called her by her correct name. This is all caused by polyphonic characters.
Experts point out that polyphonic characters make people confused when pronouncing them and should be avoided when naming.
2. Do not use uncommon words in your name. Modern scholar Zhang Binglin named his daughter with four characters for "work" arranged in a square, which is the ancient character for "zhan". Because the wording was too biased, it stumped many people, including my daughter’s teacher, and made her very embarrassed. There are many examples of people today encountering trouble when registering their household registration, applying for certificates, bank deposits, post office remittances, purchasing insurance, purchasing civil aviation tickets, and handling other businesses because computers cannot enter their names with uncommon characters. Experts say that names may seem like personal matters, but they have strong social implications. Misusing names
Using uncommon or irregular words will not only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, but also affect communication.
3. It is not easy to give a double name. There are three "Wang Wei" in one class in the kindergarten, so that teachers and children have to distinguish them by big, small, fat and thin. Among the presenters of CCTV, there are two "Yangliu", a man and a woman. "Zhang Ying" is a good name, but in the late 1980s, there were more than 4,000 "Zhang Ying" names in Beijing alone. Duplicate names can cause some trouble or even harm, but double names can greatly reduce the rate of duplicate names. According to a sample survey conducted by the State Language Commission on the third national census data in 1989, the rate of duplicate names for single names was 67.7%, and the rate of duplicate names for double names was 32.4%. Therefore, experts suggest that it is best not to create a single name.
4. Try to avoid common names. If a person is called "Jingsheng", he was probably born in Beijing; if he is called "Shanghaisheng", he was probably born in Shanghai. According to a sample survey conducted by the State Language Commission on the third national census data, among 570,000 people, there were 630 people named "Jianguo" and 610 people named "Jianjun". There are 1,084 people named "Guilan" and 1,336 people named "Guiying". Experts suggest that naming patterns should not be too similar, and highly used names should be avoided as much as possible. At present, in some places, when parents apply for a newborn's household registration, they can first check whether there are duplicate names through a computer. This practice is worth promoting.
5. Don’t have the same tone in your names. "Zhang Xiangjiang", "Feng Qinglan", "Yuan Yunyu", these three-character names with the same tone, do they sound a bit bland when read? Do "Shen Hanzhang" and "Sun Hanqing" sound ups and downs in reading? Expert research found that three-character names with the same tone accounted for only 5.2% of the samples taken, which shows that people follow the rules of tone changes intentionally or unintentionally when choosing names. Experts also suggest that it is best to have a flat tone at the end of your name, because characters with upper tones are less loud.
6. Pay attention to the choice of phonology. If several words with the same initial consonant and the same pronunciation position are placed together, it will be difficult to read; if the final consonants are also the same, it will be even more difficult to pronounce. "Nannilan", "Li Nili", "Sun Cunchun", "Kekehe", do they sound like tongue twisters? Experts remind that it is best not to use all n and l when naming. Z, c, s and zh, ch, sh are the initial consonants with the same pronunciation position. If you want your name to be loud and catchy, the finals of the words you choose are crucial. Experts say that names with nasal finals sound loud when pronounced, especially words with post-nasal finals such as "ang", "liang", "guang", "peng" and "dong"; , the rhyme belly is the main vowel with a large opening, such as "da", "shuai", "yao", and "bao", which have a higher loudness.
7. The font structure has changed. The name is not only often read, but also often written. Experts suggest that the word structure used in the name should not be too single.
Names such as "Guoyuanyuan", "Lin Yanghua" and "Lv Changyan" are a bit monotonous to write, lack the beauty of change, and may also affect people's recognition of signatures.
8. Avoid homophonic meanings. If the homophony is used skillfully when naming, it will make people feel subtle and unconventional. However, namemakers sometimes only pay attention to the meaning of the chosen word itself, but ignore that words or phrases that sound homophonic to the name may be derogatory. Experts pointed out that people like "Fan Wan" (rice bowl), "Hou Yan" (laryngitis), "Hu Lijing" (vixen)...
