What to look for in traditional naming?

Parents are cautious when it comes to naming their children. There are many ways to name your child, from self-testing to hiring a professional. Traditional naming is actually learned and not as convenient and fast as it is now. There are many aspects that need to be taken care of, so what do you need to pay attention to in traditional naming?

Avoid names that are crooked.

Traditionally, there is a saying that "a crooked name is easy to raise a child", which means that when naming a child, you need to use some common names like "crooked gourd and jujube". Although these names are generally used as nicknames for children, but still not quite suitable for the current cultural atmosphere. Names such as "Dog Egg", "Mao Egg", "Wang Cai" and other petty names have been the naming style of the 1970s and 1980s, and can be said to be out of place in today's culture. Such names should never be chosen again.

Linking words to names

Adding an interjection to a single word to form a gentle name is a naming method with Chinese characteristics. Traditional Chinese naming habits can be roughly categorized into two types: using pretty words that show noble aspirations or dummy words that have no real meaning as interludes. In addition to pretty words and imaginary words, other words such as number words, stem and some common verbs and adjectives can also be used as lining words.

Collating the name of the week

This is a special type of naming and can also be seen as a custom. In simple terms, it means that when a child is about to turn one year old, some objects symbolizing different occupations and future developments are taken out and placed next to the child, and then the child is allowed to choose at random, and the name is given according to the result of the choice. For example, if the child chooses a pen at the time of the catch, then their future job will most likely be related to this pen, and you can add words related to it in the naming.
