In 2021, the Household Registration Management Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security found that the 50 most commonly used characters in newborn names include Ze, Zi, Zi, Yu, Mu, Yi, Chen, Han, Chen, Yi, etc.
Boys like to name Mu Chen, Haoyu, Muchen, Mingze, Yichen, Yuze, Haoran, Yuxuan, Muyang, etc.
Girls like to name Ruoxi, Yinuo, Yihan, Yinuo, Zihan, Yutong, Xinyi, Yutong, Yuxi, etc.
The number one name for girls is "Ruoxi", with 18,293 parents giving this name to their children.
Some netizens joked that the parents who read novels before have grown up.
Ruoxi actually comes from the novel "Ruoxi": the author hopes that the protagonist's life will be safe and smooth, quiet and indifferent, like the rising and falling tides on the seaside.
Commonly used names like Ruoxi, Yinuo, Zihan, Muchen, Haoyu, and Haoran are still popular with many parents. They feel that they are more poetic and are suitable for many children.
But in fact, such a name also makes the teacher very distressed.

There was a joke on the Internet before:
Zihan and Zihan just entered the classroom, and accidentally knocked down Zihan and Zihan. Zixuan and Zixuan took a few steps back in fright, and Zixuan and Zixuan ran over quickly. He supported Zihan and Zihan. At this time, Kexin and Kexin had a quarrel. Haoyu, Haoyu and Haoyu rushed over to break up the fight, but they bumped into Ruoxi, Ruoxi and Ruoxi again. Chen Xi and Chen Xi quickly asked Haoran to find Xinyi and Xinyi. Xinyi and Xinyi had no choice but to ask Yuhan and Yuhan to notify the head teacher.
I guess not many people understood this joke. Netizens began to feel sorry for the teacher’s roll call. They were really worried to death. There were so many names with the same name that they didn’t know who they were calling.
Parents always like these words when naming, which results in the names always having the same name, which really makes the teacher very tired.
What bothers the teacher is not only the duplicate names, but also the imaginative names that parents now like:
- , which are homophonic and difficult to pronounce:
. I remember that there used to be a classmate in our class named "Yuejin", and every time the teacher called on us All the female students in the class lowered their heads secretly, but the boys were smiling.
This classmate said that when he was in primary school and junior high school, his family taught in vernacular. Monthly gold refers to money earned every month, but when read in Mandarin, it becomes "menstruation".
's parents' surname was "Ma" and they named their child " Ma Tongcai", which is homophonic to "toilet seat".
There is also a parent whose surname is Du, who named his child Ziteng. Every time the teacher called his name, he said "stomachache."
Therefore, when parents name their children, they should try their best to avoid those with ambiguous homophones.
- Uncommon characters that are difficult to type
There is a character "㼆" in a netizen's name, with "王" on the left and "ying" on the right. However, this character is a rare character and it was not used when he was born. It’s a rare word, so there is a household registration book and an ID card .
But later after the font reform, this character became a rare character. It was very troublesome to register for the exam. The name could not be typed. However, could only type the first two characters. When registering for the college entrance examination, the staff used two question marks for that character. It is very troublesome to go to a bank to open an account. Even if I buy a train ticket, I am afraid that I will not be able to get it out.
Every time I introduce myself, someone always asks me if I have this word? Every time during roll call, someone asked me what to read, which was very frustrating.
- Rare words that are difficult to read and write
There are some words that are not rare, but are very rare. When the kindergarten started before
, there were 16 children in the class. Except for one teacher named Ding Yi who could read them out instantly, the teacher had to look up the names of the other 15 children in the dictionary.
It took the teacher more than an hour to learn how to read the child's name, and secretly wrote the pinyin in his notebook.
is not only difficult for teachers to read, these traditional Chinese characters are also difficult to read. Generally, characters are more complicated and have more strokes , which makes children feel too tired during exams.
Before there was a student on the Internet named "禤靐龾" , the total number of strokes was 02 and . The child cried when writing his name in the exam.
Therefore, parents’ imaginative naming methods and really give every teacher a headache. When naming children, they should pay attention to the names that sound good, easy to read, easy to remember, and have no ambiguity and no uncommon words.
