Nowadays, more and more families are choosing to have only one child, and each newborn carries the full expectations of parents and elders, so parents put a lot of effort into choosing a name for them.
It's not that it's too difficult to choose a name per se, it's that parents seek to give their children a meaningful and tasteful name, which makes choosing a name the first challenge they face as parents.
Parents often go to great lengths to make their children unique, but they all have similar ideas, leading to similar aesthetic trends in each generation, so it is quite common for children to have duplicate names.
Zihan" is outdated, and a new batch of popular names have sprung up, making teachers feel helpless. A kindergarten teacher once complained to me that she didn't know what these parents were thinking about why they always named their children "Zihan".
After in-depth understanding, I found that there were several children in the same class who were called "Zihan", but different words were used, such as "Zihan", "Zihan", "Zihan", "Zihan", "Zihan", and there were 4 such examples in our class;
There are several similar situations in adjacent classes, every time they play a game or shout "Zihan" during class, several children will stand up, and they will argue with each other, "The teacher called me", and the teacher felt quite a headache.
At this time, the girlfriends will feel very embarrassed, these children have finally graduated, and are about to enter primary school, thinking that such a situation will not happen again;
However, the era of "Zihan" has passed, and has been replaced by a number of new and common names, such as "cola", "yogurt", "glutinous rice", etc., and food-related names have become new popular choices and are adopted by many parents;
Although these names are indeed cute, there are so many people who use them, especially in kindergartens, when new students enter the kindergarten, whether they are introduced by parents or children, they use these food names as nicknames.
People often use nicknames, partly to be more affectionate, because when a big name is called, the child often feels that he has made a mistake and is afraid to try to do anything
This problem is not only found among kindergarten teachers, but also among elementary school teachers. Nowadays, in order to show the deep affection between husband and wife, many parents often use the combination of the father's surname and the mother's surname when naming their children, forming names like Zhang Yang and Li Chen;
While these names may be creative, not all combinations of surnames are appropriate. For example, if the father's surname is Wei and the mother's surname is Zhu, is the name "Wei Zhu" a bit like "feeding pigs"?
Such homophonic names are likely to cause children to be jokingly called by their classmates when they go to school, causing serious damage to their psyche.
What do parents need to pay attention to when choosing a name for their child?
First and foremost, meaning is crucial. A person's name will stay with them for the rest of their lives, so parents should be clear about the meaning of the name when choosing a name and avoid making hasty decisions on the spur of the moment.
Second, when choosing a name, avoid awkward or obscure words, which are not only difficult to read, but also challenging to write. Especially when a child is just learning to write, if the name is difficult to write, the child may not like or even hate the name.
Also, avoid choosing names that are homophonic or ambiguous. Everyone has the experience of being nicknamed when they go to school, and these nicknames are often not good-sounding, causing harm to the child's psyche, and even leading to reluctance to go to school.
Don't take an overly common name, such as "Zihan", because such a name is too common, lacks recognition, and may bring unnecessary trouble in future life.
Therefore, it is important to be cautious when choosing a name for your child and strive to choose a meaningful and thoughtful name.
Finally, it's important to emphasize: a name is more than just a symbol, it affects personality. For example:
A child who is introverted and doesn't like to communicate can choose a name that is full of enthusiasm. In this way, although he may appear silent on the outside, the name will subtly create a unique image for him and also encourage him to form a positive self-perception.
For example, names with words such as "ice" and "cold" often correspond to a calm and restrained personality, while names containing words such as "laugh" tend to be associated with a lively and outgoing personality.
Therefore, a name is not only a symbol used to distinguish others, but also carries a person's personality traits, such as seeing words and faces, and hearing names like seeing people.
A name is also the first way for others to get to know a person. A good name makes a good impression, so choosing a name carefully can have a profound impact on a child's entire life, while also helping to develop a child's self-confidence.
When it comes to naming your child, parents must be cautious and not rash. If the child minds his name in the future, it will be a pity that the gain outweighs the loss.
