How to Use the I Ching to Choose a Name

1. Avoid complicated or obscure characters, as such names are difficult for people to remember.
2. Pay attention to homophones that may have negative meanings. For example, "Du Ziteng" (杜紫藤) sounds like something embarrassing, even though "ZiTeng" (紫藤) is beautiful.
3. Ensure that the name has cultural value and is inspiring, which is the most important. The ancient Chinese characters were created with specific meanings, each carrying positive or negative energy.
4. Understand the I Ching and combine it with the child's birth elements to determine which five elements (water, metal, etc.) are most suitable for the name. Using the name can balance the child's original birth elements. Every movement of the Earth carries specific energy and information, which is reflected in the birth elements. When an element is strong, it should be restrained; when weak, it should be supported. Balance brings harmony.
