There is a saying, "A person is like their name," which illustrates that a name represents a person's image. Before meeting someone, the name is the first impression others have of them. A well-chosen name can also make a strong first impression. Then, what names should be given to children with a metal element (金命)?

Name Selection Methods for Babies with Metal Element

1. Five Elements Principle
Babies born with a metal element should follow the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and inhibition to achieve balance. It is advisable to use characters with the metal element, such as 铃 (bell), 钏 (bracelet), 锦 (silk); it is also advisable to use characters with wood or fire elements, such as 创 (create), 钊 (brighten), 乾 (heaven), 锐 (sharp), 伸 (extend). Characters with earth or water elements should be avoided, such as 浩 (vast), 海 (sea), 圣 (saint), 地 (earth), 山 (mountain), 峰 (peak).
2. Choosing Auspicious Characters
When parents name their child, they should not overstate the role of the name. A name cannot change destiny, and its role in fate is only a small part. However, sometimes this small part can have a significant impact, either beneficial or harmful. Therefore, the importance of the name should not be overlooked.
