The method of naming based on the I Ching, a list of common and grand names, is as follows. The I Ching, known as the first of all classics, is the general outline of traditional Chinese culture. It can be applied in many aspects of our lives, such as name-giving according to the I Ching. I Ching Name Selection, recommended names for baby girls and boys, are available on Huayi Network.

Method of Naming Based on the I Ching

1. Refer to philosophical sentences
The I Ching is a profound philosophical book of dialectical materialism, and its sentences contain the natural laws and harmonious and dialectical thoughts of nature. Therefore, if you want to give your child a meaningful name, you can refer to these sentences. For example, from the sentence “Labor without glory, achievement without pride, this is the depth of virtue,” we can take the name “Dehou” (virtue and depth).
2. Use powerful words
Some powerful words in the I Ching are very suitable for boys' names, which can reflect the breadth of a boy's mind and his demeanor. So if you are naming a boy, you can use the word “Kun” from the sentence “Kun is soft, but it moves with strength; it is quiet, yet virtuous.” This name carries a sense of power and broad-mindedness.
3. Choose beautiful characters
Using beautiful characters from the I Ching to form a baby’s name is also an excellent way of naming. For instance, the name “Yu” comes from the saying in the "Explanation of the Hexagrams": “Wind disperses, and rain moistens.”
