Méi: Méi sounds like "méi" (bad luck), and plum blossoms bloom in winter, giving a feeling of extreme coldness and arrogance, symbolizing a life spent in coldness and hardship.
What Are the Rules and Conventions in Naming?
1. Harmony between sound, shape, and meaningChinese names are Chinese characters, and the structure of Chinese characters contains sound, form, meaning, and social conventions. When choosing a name, all aspects must be considered comprehensively, including sound, form, and meaning. It is also important to consider the Five Elements properties of the structure or meaning.
2. Avoiding repetition with others
When naming, one should try to avoid repeating names, so parents should not choose single-character names, but instead encourage double-character names. Some conventional names that reflect masculinity, such as "Yīng" (hero), "Xióng" (brave), "Háo" (bold), "Jié" (outstanding), "Wěi" (great), "Cái" (talent), "Cái" (wealth), and "Fù" (rich), as well as femininity, such as "Xiāng" (fragrant), "Zhēn" (precious), "Fēn" (perfume), "Fāng" (fragrant), "Huā" (flower), and "Lián" (lotus), should be avoided to make the name more unique and not cliché.
Which Characters in Names Are Considered Extremely Unlucky?
Xióng: This character means something unlucky or unfortunate, symbolizing possible misfortune or danger, such as "omen of disaster" or "dangerous place." If a name includes the character "Xióng," such as "Zhāng Xióng," it may give people the impression that this person has a difficult fate and is prone to encountering bad things.È: This character represents evil, wickedness, and cruelty, such as "malice" or "villain." If someone is named "Lǐ È," it may give people an impression of poor character and difficulty in getting close, and it might also imply that their life will face many ups and downs, as the image of evil is often not accepted by society.
Sǐ: Directly related to death, this character has extremely negative connotations, evoking thoughts of the end of life, misfortune, and disasters. For example, the name "Wáng Sǐ" would create a sense of oppression and ill omen, as if misfortune is about to strike.
Gū: This character means loneliness and solitude, symbolizing being alone without support, implying that one's life may experience loneliness, lack of family ties, and isolation. A name like "Zhào Gū" would make people think that this person is reclusive and may have to face various difficulties alone in life and career.
Qióng: This character means poverty and destitution, representing a lack of material wealth and poor economic conditions. For example, the name "Sūn Qióng" might make people think that this person will struggle for survival all his life, unable to enjoy a wealthy life, and may even face hardship and poverty.
However, it is worth emphasizing again that the so-called "unlucky characters" in names have more to do with traditional concepts and cultural customs rather than any scientific evidence. A name is merely an identifier and a call, and personal destiny is more influenced by factors such as one's own efforts, education, and environment.
