Baby Naming —— The Artistic Skills of Girls Naming Babies
As China people, they will naturally be influenced by their own traditions. Up to now, most people are still using the common methods of naming girls in ancient times.
First, skillfully use overlapping words to name.
Jin Yong is a very famous writer. The names of heroines in his novels are often as fresh as their looks, and overlapping words is his usual way, such as Ren Yingying, Yin Susu and Princess Xiangxiang.
The names of overlapping words are simple and easy to remember, naive and lively, because they are generally read softly, which makes people feel relaxed and cordial. This is a very common way of naming.
For example, Jingjing, Manman, Fangfang, Dandan, Lili, Piaopiao, Yingying, Sisi, Feifei and Tingting. The disadvantage is that it is easy to duplicate names.
Second, the common methods of naming traditional girls in China.
In ancient times, girls were named mainly to highlight the beauty of women, full of "feminine taste" and "tender color", giving people a refreshing, gentle, gorgeous and beautiful feeling. It can be roughly divided into several categories:
1, named after the word next to the female word, directly reflects the female color from the font. This is the most basic method. Such as: Chan Juan, Have a graceful demeanour, Miao Mei, Yu Nen and so on.
Due to the cultural exchange between China and foreign countries, some words in foreign women's names that can be easily translated into Chinese have also been handed down, such as Nina, myna, Lena and Eve.
2. In the name of treasures or feminine products. Such as Baochai, Yuhuan, Emerald, Pearl, Coral, Lin Lang, Daiyu, Silver Bottle, etc.
3, in the name of natural phenomena and scenery. Such as: Yunxia, Hong Ying, Caixia, Yushuang, Chun Yan and Qiuyue.
4. In the name of morality, appearance and temperament.
The temperament and morality of men and women advocated and respected by society are not consistent. Compared with men, women are gentle, virtuous, elegant, quiet and clean, which will also be shown in their names. Such as: Wan Zhen, Shu Xian, Huixian, Wen Qing, Zhi Min, and Dignified.
5, in the name of a word that expresses tenderness. Such as: love children, love lotus, cherish weakness, care for kindness, quiet and so on.
Nowadays, the lifestyle and social status of women have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the function of names has also undergone tremendous changes. Therefore, we should not only inherit the tradition, but also dare to break through it. The following are ways to name girls, whether ancient or modern, in order to achieve novel and unique effects.
Traditional naming methods for girls mainly focus on female beauty, aiming at highlighting female characteristics, but sometimes the opposite can also have special effects.
For example, Zhang Wuling, the father of the "four sisters of the Zhang family" who is quite famous in the history of literature, is a Confucian businessman. He is keen to make friends with educational celebrities like Cai Yuanpei and invest in education. At that time, his four talented and beautiful daughters became the favorite objects of many literati. Later, the eldest daughter Zhang Yuanhe married the famous Kunqu artist Gu Chuanjun; Zhang Yunhe, the second daughter, married Zhou Youguang, an accomplished linguist. The third daughter, Zhang Zhaohe, married the famous great writer Shen Congwen; The fourth child, Zhang Chonghe, married German-American sinologist Hans Hermannt Frankel. Interestingly, Zhang Lao named his daughter "two legs", which means he is destined to go with others. He is clever and humorous, and there is no trace of boudoir.
Zhang Yunhe, the second sister, once arranged the marriage of Zhao He and Shen Congwen, the third sister. After the matter was done, she sent a telegram to Shen Congwen, using only one word, half the attitude of her family and half her name. The story of this "half-word telegram" was once a much-told story in the history of literature, and it also made Mr. Zhang's good naming method still talked about by people.
Fourth, make public personality and find another way.
With the development of the times, people are more and more inclined to pursue unique personality. A name full of personality will really leave a deep impression on people. Many famous writers are remembered by the world because of their unique pen names, but their real names are often ignored. For example, Sanmao, a very famous female writer in Taiwan Province Province, her charm comes not only from words and experiences, but also from her pen name full of personality, and her real name is as plain and unknown as the name itself. Wang, a famous hostess of CCTV, is also very fresh and kind, and her name is very personal. There is also the name of Anne Baby, a famous female writer in the net, which is also very different and unique. I believe that with the development of society, the way we name girls will be more free and open.
Fifth, look for inspiration in ancient poetry.
Regarding the naming of children, China has always said that "the songs of the South are written by men, the book of songs by women, the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Changes". Some words in The Book of Songs are used to name girls, but they are still fresh today. If used well, they can add a unique bookish atmosphere to people.
Lin is a talented woman, famous for her beauty, which is also reflected in her name. So how did her name come from? Lin was originally named Lin, after her grandfather Lin Xiaoyaozi, an academician of the Qing Dynasty. From The Book of Songs. Daya. Si Qi ","Si Qi is a great post, the mother of father and the mother of king. Shi Jing's wife Zhou Jiang. If you have a big badge, you will be a hundred men. " "Yin Hui" means fame. Later, she changed her name to Lin to distinguish herself from a person named Lin. This man's reputation is a bit disreputable. Lin leads an honest and clean life and doesn't want people to confuse her personality with his.
Qiong Yao, a female writer in Taiwan Province, was originally named Chen Zhe, whose pen name is Qiong Yao. "Qiong Yao" means beautiful jade, which comes from "Give papaya to Qiong Yao" in the Book of Songs. National style. Papaya ". This is a love poem that describes the giving and answering of men and women. This beautiful name adds a touch of romance to her.
