The name will accompany a person throughout his life. 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 Application 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 and licenses, 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. Misuse of 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 name the order

.

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. This 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 initials and pronunciations are put together, it will be difficult to read; if the finals 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 louder 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 point out that names with poor homophonic pronunciations such as "Fan Wan" (rice bowl), "Hou Yan" (laryngitis), and "Hu Lijing" (vixen), as well as names such as "Hot Spring" and "Shenyang" that can easily cause ambiguity in the text, should be avoided when naming.

9. Men’s and women’s names should be different. A man was often treated as a female guest when he was on a business trip. What made him so embarrassed was that he had a very feminine name: Wang Lanying. Experts say that with the historical accumulation of culture, the gender difference in names has gradually been recognized by society and has formed a social custom. Parents must consider gender factors when naming names, otherwise they may encounter trouble when using them. Experts also pointed out that gender is an important factor in the aesthetic standards of names.

Just imagine, if a young man goes on a date with a girl for the first time and hears her name, would he rather choose "Zhang Wanyou" or "Liu Shengli" or "Xie Jingshu" or "Chen Wanying"?

10. Chinese people should not use foreign names. "Tanaka Keiko", is this a Japanese friend? No, she is a Chinese girl named Tian. Experts say that in order to give their children a unique name, more and more parents are coming up with four-letter names, which is an attempt. However, names that are easily misleading such as "Tanaka Keiko", "John Lee", and "Peter Zhang" should be used with caution. Chinese names should preferably have Chinese characteristics and reflect Chinese culture.
