? These names with similar pronunciations are all popular newborns in 2020 Foshan , Quzhou, Ningbo and other places.
Last year, the most popular boys and girls in Foshan were "Zi Rui" and "Zi Qing" respectively. In Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, "Yinuo" ranked first in the list of newborn girls for two years, and the word "Chen (Chen)" ranks the top five on the boy list through the combination of "Yichen", "Yuchen", "Yichen" and "Yichen".
In the 2008 TVB drama "The Detective of the Ancient Spirit", the male protagonist is "Zilang" and his sister is "Ziqing".
China has a population of 1.4 billion, and there are only tens of thousands of Chinese characters. There are more than 8,000 characters in the "General Standard Chinese Character Table". Excluding characters that are not suitable for names such as pots, bowls, pots, and spoons. Then divide them into men and women. Consider the meaning. There are about three or four thousand Chinese characters that can be used for names.
Why do the hot names always appear in the arrangement and combination? Didn’t parents go to the Public Security Bureau to check the severity before they were named?
Find a master to write code. It is not easy to ask for a good name
Every parent wants to give their children a unique name, but they accidentally fall into the naming trend. The more I want to avoid the duplicate name, the more I give my child a hit name. This may be Murphy's law in the naming world.
A reader from the Lifestyle Research Institute said that when I was in high school, there were three "Liu Xinyi" in the same grade, two of whom were classmates. In order to facilitate the distinction between the two "Liu Xinyi" in the same class, everyone added their student IDs to their names and called them "Liu 7yi" and "Liu 8yi". Interestingly, after going to college, this reader met the fourth "Liu Xinyi" in his life. Will you encounter more after joining the job? Not yet known.
The heroine of the drama " Destined to Love You " is Xinyi, and even the screenwriter has two "xin yi".
is the same as an ordinary person, and the degree of embarrassment can only be considered average, but the misunderstanding of the same name as a celebrity is only a matter of minutes. I met a lady who was named a well-known male writer. After accidentally getting the IP, she had to add a prefix "Female XXX" to her WeChat name directly. is a hit name, and every time I meet a stranger, it is a test of emotional intelligence.
Needless to say, the importance of a person’s name. As long as you are fined to copy your name 100 times when you are in school, or have a nickname by your classmates, you will have a deep understanding.
Sociologists have also found that names affect appearance. Experiments from Israel and France show that a person's name will produce the "Doring Gray effect", which will shape the way people are perceived by the outside world, and even affect their personality and face shape. For example, society expects a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a Tim, because the former pronounces a rounder lip. In short, it has a certain scientific basis for people as their name.
Considering the impact of life, giving the child a good name and becoming the top priority for new parents.
In recent years, parents have been popular in searching traditional classics such as Tang poetry and Song lyrics to name their children. The logic is like "Female's Book of Songs, Male's Chu Ci, Literature's Analects of Confucius, Wu Zhouyi".
In the alley outside Yonghe Palace in Beijing, there was once a fortune teller every few meters. Open Taobao and search for "Name". Every store claims to be "Master Zhouyi" and promises to "manually naming, until you are satisfied". The fees range from 30 yuan to 666 yuan.
Finding the child named by Master Bao is about the first time in his life.
New parents in science and engineering are more willing to do it themselves and use technology to solve the naming problem.There are no uncommon jokes about naming programmers, and naming pets is also a very clear idea.
However, reality is always more unexpected than the story. A programmer in a large factory in Shenzhen felt that it was inefficient in turning dictionaries, so he took care of his kids and wrote code to name them.
In order to get a nice and meaningful name, he entered the database of "The Analects of Confucius", Tang poetry, Song Ci, etc., and set rules to exclude uncommon characters and words with many strokes. At the beginning, millions of names were generated, and then filtered and sorted, and more than 80 names were selected. He and his wife, who are also programmers, chose one a day. The last name he chose comes from the Analects of Confucius and contains the expectations of his parents.
Another programmer who gave birth to a second child even took over the work of a fortune teller. In addition to the shape, pronunciation and interpretation of the characters, his name generation rules will also consider whether the name coincides with the famous people of ancient and modern times or popular names, whether it fits the eight characters, whether the "three talents and five characters" are good, and whether it conflicts with the zodiac signs, etc. It took him six months before he gave his child a satisfactory name.
For serious programmers, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one piece of code. If there is, write two pieces.
As long as the trend becomes fast enough, the popular name will not catch up with me
Since ancient times, naming has its own fashion.
During the Three Kingdoms period, adult men called each other "words" among their peers. At that time, the characters usually consisted of two Chinese characters, concentrated in combinations such as "ZiX", "PublicX", and "DeX".
If the full name of the generals of the Three Kingdoms is replaced with a character, then Zhou Yu's call to Huang Gai is Gongjin to overthrow, and Luotong takes over Lingtong , it is Gongxu's troops taking over Gong Ji. In this way, the story of "public" comes and goes, and the story of the Three Kingdoms becomes a game of "finding a difference".
When it was in the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties, elders liked to include religious logos in the naming of their descendants. A family that believes in the Tao of Heavenly Master is used to name the word "zhi" that represents the sect symbol. For example, Wang Xizhi and his seventh son, , Wang Xianzhi . In fact, the Six Dynasties are used to using single names and pay attention to taboos. When naming children, they will try to avoid duplication of names with the elders in the family. Regarding the widespread use of the word "zhi", Chen Yinke believed that the word "zhi" is not a "specially special true name" and is a sign of the identity of Taoists and can be avoided.
various ways to write the word "一".
Buddhists of the same era are not to be outdone and have added Buddhist words such as "monk", "braan", and "mo" to their descendants' names, such as Li Sengjia and Yao Siddha. The recipe of has a very similar flavor to the contemporary Zhang Mary and George Wang.
Many times, The new name that parents thought flashed inspiration might be the echo of a certain era.
Not long after the founding of New China, the people worshipped soldiers, and names such as founding the country, founding the army, liberation, and victory were everywhere. Standing in the unit compound and shouting "Kinship of the People's Republic of China", three or five people must turn back.
naming not only reflects the background of the times, but also is influenced by celebrities at that time. With Jeremy Lin becoming the first Chinese-American player to enter NBA, and Zeng Yani became the first Chinese player to win the golf grand slam, more than 2,000 "Jani" emerged in Taiwan.
Four "Yimings" in a class, is it related to Internet tycoons?
The penetration of popular culture can be better seen by using the words.Taking the ninth grade names in Taiwan as an example, "Chengen", "Yu Ting" and "Pinrui" are popular names among male names, while female names are mostly "Yi Zhen", "Xin Yu" and "Shi Han". "Name Statistical Analysis" released by Taiwan pointed out that the naming of this elegant style was influenced by popular idol dramas.
A mainland primary school teacher observed that when he called out, several children of different heights in the corridor looked back together. After reading the literary names such as Zixuan and Shuhan, some netizens lamented: "The generation who read romance novels has grown up." Some netizens also infer that parents who gave their children a hit name have not very high education level.
The third heroine of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is called " Zixuan ".
However, some mainland netizens expressed dissatisfaction. According to her, the father who named her was a graduate of Tongji University in Shanghai. He had never watched the novel and TV series of Mary Sue. His name was based on his birth time and his parents' expectations. However, her name is still on the list of the hottest newborn names in Ningbo in 2020.
Rather than saying that parents are affected by the social environment, parents of the same generation have the same expectations for their children. Most of them hope that their children will grow up healthily and gain a happy life. Although the name is important to others, the blessings to the next generation are sincere.
With the improvement of the level of mass education and the increasing development of communication, the concentration of popular products is actually declining. In the United States and France, the popularity of names is getting shorter and shorter. While people pursue personality, they also develop the habit of loving the new and getting tired of the old.
Although "Yinuo" can win consecutive titles in Ningbo, the grand ceremony of "Founding England" in the last century will be difficult to reproduce on the same scale. After all, "Xinyi", which is so popular that it is written into a Taiwanese idol drama, has also fallen out of the top ten common names in Taiwan.
Trends get too fast, like a tornado. Those fashionable names may not be fashionable in a few years. Those seemingly rustic names may become unique in a few years.
