As an educator, whenever you welcome a new semester and take over a new class, you will first familiarize yourself with the names of the students in the class, so as to avoid unfamiliar words or words that are easy to be mispronounced during the class roll call, and avoid funny scenes.
Especially nowadays, more and more parents, when naming their children, the pursuit of differentiation, always ingenious when naming their children, the choice of words is either a variety of strokes, or minimalist, this "super complex" and "ultra-simple" name seems to have become a trend.
1. What impact may a "super-complicated" name with a large number of strokes have on children?
There is a first-year freshman whose name is very special, not only is the surname unique, but the name combination is also ingenious, and the paraphrase is quite good, the only problem is that there are too many strokes.
This eye-catching name is "爨懿曦", this surname "爨" is not common, pronounced "cuan", it is conceivable that this student's teachers of various subjects, when they get the roster, will have a strong interest in this surname, and then can't wait to check the correct pronunciation of this word.
This name is classified as a typical "super-complicated" name, with 30 strokes of the surname "爨" alone, and the parents have given their child's name a complex name, which seems to have deliberately chosen the most complex character to highlight this rare, multi-stroke surname.
When many people see this name, they first feel distressed for this child, and they can't help but wonder if this child will be able to complete the task of writing the complete name in a short time when he is in the first grade of elementary school.
What's more, netizens are concerned that this child may take a few minutes just to write a name during the exam, while the other children have already completed several questions, and she is still struggling to write her name.
Speaking of which, I remembered another name that has attracted wide attention on the Internet, similar to the aforementioned "爨懿曦", which is also a rare surname and a variety of strokes, and my parents also chose two words with complex strokes, let's take a look at this name - Xuan Jinglu.
Is this name comparable to the aforementioned "Fu Yixi", and has the same effect?If these two children meet, they may have a lot in common, and they will confide in each other about the embarrassment and helplessness they have experienced since they started school because of their names.
A name is an important identifier for an individual. A proper name can be the icing on the cake for an individual, while a name that is difficult to pronounce or difficult for multiple people to understand can be inconvenient for a child.
When choosing a name for their child, many parents choose obscure words that are easy to make mistakes when reading for the first time, and the characters are complicated. What inconveniences may this choice cause to your child in the future?
First of all, the name is difficult to pronounce and easy to mispronounce, and the teacher will avoid asking questions.
A netizen shared that her name belongs to the category of awkward pronunciation and contains rare words. Since she started school, the teacher has hardly asked her questions, especially in the new environment, and basically few teachers call her name. At first, she thought it was because the teacher didn't like her, but when she grew up, she realized that the teacher was also worried about mispronouncing her name, so she tried to avoid asking questions, which made her feel neglected.
Secondly, children may face difficulties when learning to write names.
As parents, we all understand that children often need to learn to write their own names before elementary school. However, at the kindergarten level, teachers teach children less to write. Therefore, for those children who already have difficulty writing, when they enter primary school and learn to write their own names, if the strokes of the names are relatively simple, the children may be able to grasp them easily. However, if the names are like the two mentioned above, with a lot of strokes, the child may find it very difficult to learn.
A friend chose a name with complex characters and many strokes when naming his child, which caused the child to cry when he first learned to write a name. This not only affects the children themselves, but even affects their tablemates. When my big treasure was young, when he wrote the name of the same table, he found that there was a word "Xi" in the name of the same table, because he had just started to learn to write, he said: "Mom, this word is too difficult to write!."The child wrote it many times before he could barely finish it. What makes the child even more distressed is that during the exam, other students have already done a few questions, and the child is still writing his name, and the name on the test paper needs to be written neatly one stroke at a time, which makes the child feel helpless and anxious.
2. The rise of "ultra-simple" names in the opposite direction Because many parents are worried that the complexity of their children's names will bring them trouble, they begin to use the opposite way to give their children a "super-simple" name, so that children can learn to write names very simple and can quickly grasp it.
Some parents pursue "ultra-simple" naming, and many names have no more than 5 strokes in total, and some have only 2 strokes in total for their surnames and first names. Some parents once named their children "Yiyi", which quickly became popular on the Internet, because the surname "B" is very rare, with only one stroke, and the child's name has only one word "Yi", which is also only one stroke.
This name is very conspicuous on the class roster, and the teacher can remember it at a glance.
Then another "ultra-simple" name appeared, belonging to an elementary school girl. The elementary school girl attracted attention because of her "ultra-simple" name, because there were only 2 names in total, and even the teacher couldn't read it accurately at first.
This name, which is once again circulating on the Internet, is one", plus an "o", which many people will mispronounce at first, and some even think that it is a spelling mistake or just punctuation and a letter.
Actually, ", is also a surname, very rare and unique, it is "ton" in punctuation, while in the surname it is pronounced "zhǔ", which is the same as "lord". The latter name "o" is even more troublesome to most people, because the symbol with the same English alphabet and Hanyu Pinyin is surprisingly pronounced as "líng" in Chinese.
This unique surname and this special combination of glyphs made this elementary school girl difficult to recognize because of the rarity and ultra-simplicity of the name, and it is estimated that she needs to consult the dictionary to pronounce it accurately, and other teachers also remember this girl.
3. Three aspects that parents need to pay attention to when naming their children There are many similar examples around us, and parents often tend to give their children unique names, so that children can immediately attract the attention of others when they go to **, and it is not easy to duplicate names.
However, like those "super-complicated" names, children may struggle to write their own names and expect to complain that their parents have given them an overly complicated name.
Although "ultra-simple" names have their advantages, they make it easier for children to write names, especially during exams, compared to other students who have not yet completed name writing, and have already answered a few questions. However, when choosing a name for your child, it is still recommended to avoid using unfamiliar words as much as possible.
Therefore, parents need to pay attention to the following three aspects when choosing a name for their child to prevent their child from facing embarrassment and unnecessary distress in the future.
First of all, the complexity of the name should be minimized, not too cumbersome, and avoid too many strokes. At the same time, pay attention to the collocation of the surname and the first name, because the surname itself carries history and meaning, and a reasonable surname collocation can make the name more perfect.
Secondly, when choosing a name, you need to pay attention to the seniority and avoid the same name as the elders. In our etiquette-oriented countries, seniority is important, so it's important to be careful when choosing a name for your child.
Finally, pay attention to the homonym when naming your child to avoid bad homophonic effects. There was an example of a parent naming a child "Ma Tong Calcium", which is homophonic to "toilet seat", which may cause the child to be teased by classmates after going to school.
To sum up, parents must carefully consider when choosing a name for their child and double-check whether there is anything wrong with it, so as not to cause inconvenience to the child in the future because of the name.
Have you ever come across a name with a lot of strokes or very simple ones?
