Below I have compiled ancient naming methods for you. Welcome to read. The ancient method of naming

Named after the place of birth or hometown

This method was once so popular that you and I can always find several friends with such names. . For example, students from Shanghai and Hangzhou were almost always born in the south. This method is relatively simple, but it requires some thinking, otherwise it will be easy to get the same name. The smaller the area name you choose, the less likely it is to crash. You can use small place names. For example, the names of Guanmu Village and Zheng Banqiao used this method; you may also try adding only one of the place names to your baby's name. word, and then match it with another word. For example, some babies are named "Yan Siqi" because the baby's father is from Shandong, so it means "Qilu Earth".

Choose a name based on the superposition of the parents’ surnames

There are roughly three methods of operation for this idea: one is direct superposition; the second is homophonic superposition; the third is to take the last names of the father and mother, with the middle Or add another word after it. For example, Shi Yang, that is, his father's surname is Shi and his mother's surname is Yang. Yang Yang is a homophone, and a little missing, which is a metaphor for his father's regrets. For another example, the father surnamed Wang plus the mother surnamed Chen gave Wang Jiacheng’s name; Zhou Muhe refers to the love child of Zhou’s father and mother Mu’s perfect match. This method of naming, because the mother's surname is added, expresses recognition of her mother's efforts, just like the song sings, "The military medal contains half of me and half of you." Therefore, this method of naming It is quite popular, and at the same time, it is more popular now because it saves time and effort.

Choose a name based on the characteristics of the day of birth

Choose a name based on the date, time, season, weather, events and other factors when the baby was born, that is, make a fuss around the birth of the child. This is also a relatively simple and labor-saving approach.

Liu Yuting, it was still raining heavily when the mother entered the delivery room. After the baby was born, the rain stopped, so the father had an idea and came up with the name "Yuting".

Yang Nannan, it was very difficult for her mother to give birth to her baby, so she named her "Nannan" to commemorate this unforgettable experience of dystocia.

Choose a name based on homophonic sounds

If you can find a good homophonic word for your surname, you might as well choose a name based on homophonic sounds. For example, the young writer Han Han is a typical example of using homophonic names. example. There is also a baby girl named Yao, named "Yao Yi", which means "swaying and colorful" beauty. The surname is Liang Tongliang, and the name is Liang Shi. The surname is Shi, and the name "Shi Zai" is homophonic to "Shi Shi". If the homophonic pronunciation is good, it is often memorable, easy to remember, and good omen. Of course, we must also avoid ambiguous homophonics, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Naming with numerical function words

Numbers have strong expressive power. Adding numbers to names often makes people feel refreshing, such as Li Guyi, Li Shuangjiang, Zhang Daqian, Ma Sanli and others.

Numerals often have traditional meanings, such as ?一? and ?十?, which often express completeness or perfection; ?九? and ?十? can express more; Express more. ?2? and ?4? are often used to express pairs or mutual symmetry; ?5?, ?8?, and ?7? are often used to express various kinds. There is a lot of knowledge about the numerals in names, and as long as they are used skillfully, they can bring out new ideas.

Function words: zhi, yi, yi, ran, paired with content words, have a strong cultural flavor, such as Wu Rangzhi, Ding Yiqi, Qian Zhijiang, Wu Youran, etc. This usage has a tendency to become very popular.

Naming based on idioms

This method is an upgraded version of homophonic naming. It must match the homophony of the surname and be a complimentary idiom before it can be selected as the baby's name. For example, Zhou Erfu, Wu Yulun, Ye Zhiqiu, Zhong Zhicheng and so on.

Of course, it can also be simplified. There is no need to match the homophony of the surname. It is just to express the keywords of the idiom in an outline and clear way. For example, Cheng Siyuan, who thinks of the source when drinking water; Yuan Zhiyong, who applies what he has learned; Tang Liyi, who is unconventional and innovative, are all typical examples of idiom naming.

Citing names based on classics

Allusions refer to meaningful stories and words with provenance that appear in Chinese classics. Allusions can be used for reference, such as Tang poetry, Song poetry, Four Books and Five Classics, and even the Kangxi Dictionary. Reference is applied to the name.

The name of the poet Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty comes from the phrase "I am good at nourishing my awe-inspiring spirit" in "Mencius Gongsun Chou". The name of Zhu Ziqing comes from the phrase "Ning is honest and upright" in "Chu Ci and Divination Opera". Qinghu? Hu Qiaomu, "Qiaomu" comes from "The Book of Songs": "Come from the deep valley, circuitous in the trees". This method can be said to be "the book has its own golden house", you don't want to be dazzled.
