The daughter's surname 'Zhu' sounds foreign, but was ruined by a cartoon and became the laughing stock of the whole class

A name is a sign that accompanies a child for a lifetime, and it often carries a lot of expectations from parents, so they often spend great effort in naming their children.

After giving birth to his daughter, Zhu's father loved his child very much. He worked hard to name his child, hoping to give his child a nice and foreign name . Finally, with the joint efforts of the family, the girl's name ''Zhu Peiqi'' was decided .

We all know that there is a children's cartoon that is very popular in recent years. The pink piggy "Peppa" with a hair dryer-shaped nose is not only loved by children because of its cute appearance and interesting personality, but also attracted many people. Adults are crazy about it.

However, the popularity of "Little Pig Peppa" is not a happy thing for Zhu's family. No one expected that their daughter's name would be ruined by this Internet celebrity pig . At school, classmates laughed at her daughter's name , nicknamed her, and said she was also a little pig. This makes the daughter very sad every time she goes home, blaming her parents for giving herself such a name.

From this incident, we can see that choosing a name is indeed not an easy task. Zhu's father named his child "Peppa", which is a transliteration of the English name, in order to pursue a foreign style, and such a joke was made when the child grew up.

A good name can impress people with a high degree of memory; on the contrary, if the name is neither fish nor fowl, it may cause misunderstanding.

What should parents pay attention to when naming their children?

1. Avoid using uncommon words

Names are used in too many places in a person's life. If uncommon characters are used for names, the printing systems in many places will not include the uncommon characters when the child needs to register their names on registration forms and online ticket purchases in the future, causing unnecessary trouble. It can only be written by hand, which not only wastes time, but also causes inconvenience.

2. Avoid misunderstanding

Misreading includes two types: phonological mishearing and literal misreading. There are a lot of polyphonic characters in Chinese characters, and some names seem to have no problem, but they will cause misunderstandings to the listeners. At the same time, when choosing a name, parents must look up the dictionary to understand the connotation and meaning of the name they choose, and don't take the word for its meaning. This will also make people feel strange and misunderstood, causing their children to be laughed at in the future.

So, how should parents choose a good name for their children?

• First, using ancient poetry

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the Chinese language has gradually evolved from ancient Chinese to modern vernacular. During the Tang and Song dynasties in China, a large number of excellent poems and songs were produced, with concise language and rich content .

In addition, there are the Book of Songs from the earlier pre-Qin period. Many parents will use the Book of Songs to name, because the language of the Book of Songs is not only beautiful and pleasant, but also has an artistic conception , which makes people have beautiful associations.

• Second, combining family traditions

In early China, some traditional families would have their own characters handed down from generation to generation. It is also a good way for parents to ask the elders in their own family or look up the family tree to find the children's characters that belong to their children.

It is a Chinese tradition to use characters to name names, which not only allows one's family to continue and develop, but also a return and revival of Chinese tradition.

• Finally, highlight the gender characteristics of the child

Although Chinese characters do not have gender, names also contain gender differences. Girls' names should be beautiful and pleasant, while boys' names should be masculine, so as to highlight the child's gender characteristics and not easily misunderstand strangers.

In addition, because the name has a subconscious influence on the child, a name that fits the child's personality can also promote the development of the child's personality traits.

A name is a code name for a person. If most people don't know it clearly, remembering this code name is not something to be proud of. The child's name should be catchy, comfortable to read and easy to remember . In recent years, we often hear names like ''Xiaoming'', ''Junjie'', ''Xiaowei'', etc., because these names are easy to remember. Therefore, parents should not make the name particularly complicated just because they are new and different.
