Recently, many netizens will see the stalk "Teacher, my family Zihan" on the Internet. The origin of this meme is actually a conversation between a child who was bitten by a mosquito in kindergarten and a parent questioned the teacher. This meme sparked discussion and laughter among netizens. However, due to the popularity of the name, many parents are looking for more unique names, and the new trend of naming their children is leaving children feeling overwhelmed. This paper will discuss the phenomenon of the popularity of a new batch of common names after the popularity of **Zihan subsided, as well as the impact on students' psychology.
Once upon a time, the name "Zihan" was very popular throughout the country, and many parents thought the name was very trendy, so they gave their children this name. Names have become so common that there is almost always a student named Zihan in a class. In order to avoid calling the wrong children's names, the teacher also had to add suffixes to them, such as Zihan No. 1, Big Zihan, Little Zihan, and so on. However, this overpopularity of names has led to children feeling like they are different, and parents are looking for more unique names.
Many parents have begun to give their children more unique or even obscure names, such as using unusual characters that are not commonly used, four-character names with pseudo-compound surnames, or even names borrowed from movies, games, etc. These names, while giving parents a certain sense of pride, leave children feeling overwhelmed and unable to hold their heads up. Students find their names difficult to write or ridiculed by their classmates, leading to a series of problems.
Some parents like to give their children obscure words, thinking that this can highlight the uniqueness of their children. However, some rare characters have a lot of strokes, which can cause a lot of trouble for children who are new to writing. When students first learn to Xi and write, they usually learn to Xi relatively simple characters, but they must be able to write their own names. Because of the large number of strokes in the name, students may feel annoyed by it, and may even cry while writing homework, complaining that their parents did not give them a simple name. The students' difficulty in facing such a name undoubtedly affected their enthusiasm for learning to Xi writing.
In order to pursue uniqueness and specialness, some parents give their children some homophonic names, but such names are easy to be joked about by classmates. Although students may not have malicious intentions, the situation of nicknames can make students feel uncomfortable, and even affect the formation of their character and self-confidence.
Some parents decide when it comes to choosing a name for their child based entirely on personal preference. They will put together their favorite words when they like them, but they don't realize that naming their children can be troublesome in their development. Some children are reluctant to introduce themselves to others because of their unique names, which can have a negative impact on their social and communication skills.
We can see that the new wave of popular names after the popularity has subsided has brought a series of problems. Parents give their children names that are too obscure in order to be unique and individual, which causes students to have difficulty in writing, being ridiculed by classmates, and embarrassing personal introductions. Therefore, when choosing a name for a child, parents should consider all aspects comprehensively, not only taking care of personal preferences, but also considering the child's future development and mental health. A child's name should be a sign of their pride, not an obstacle or trouble on their path to growth.
In real life, there are still many parents who will give their children special names in order to pursue individuality and uniqueness. However, we should recognize that a child's name is an integral part of their life and can affect their self-perception and the way they relate to others. Therefore, when naming children, we should take into account their personal wishes and mental health and try to avoid causing them unnecessary distress. A good name is not only about being unique and individual, but more importantly, it is about making children feel proud and confident, so that they can show their charm and talent as they grow.
