Chinese Parents: Names to Avoid for your kids

Traditionally, Chinese parents consult a Chinese Astrologer or Geomancer to find a suitable name for their child. Names are chosen based on a child's Eight Characters or commonly called The 4 Discover Your Destiny. This is still done today.

For instance, when my elder brother was born, according to a Geomancer after he had looked at his Eight Characters, found that he lacked the `water' element. To `compensate' for this, my brother was given a name with " Chwee " (in Hokkien) for " Shui " or Water. As for me, I was told I did not lack anything and had a name with " Chong " (in Mandarin) for " Centre or Middle ".

However, there are some who are superstitous of names that have connotations or sounds like.

Here are some samples:- 

Names

Monica Cheng (in Hokkien) - Touching your buttocks (Mo1 Ni3 Ka1 Ceng1)

Michael Tan (in Chinese) - Selling dog eggs (Mai4 gou3 dan4)

Tommy Huang (in Mandarin) - Tang2 Ming2 Huang2 (Ming Dynasty's emperor)

Lucy Liaw (in Hokkien) - You are dead (Le4 See4 Liao4)

Judy Soo (in Malay) - Lost in Gamble

Paul Chan (in Mandarin) - Bankrupt! (po4 chan3)

Nelson Tan (in Mandarin) - Bird laying eggs (niao3 sheng1 dan4)

Jason Tan (in Mandarin) - Thieves laying eggs (zei2 sheng1 dan4)

Nelson Chong (in Mandarin) - Bird giving birth to worms (niao3 sheng1 chong2)

.....congratulate you for your Flying Star... Cecil Lee Cecil Lee support@geomancy.net - Feng Shui at Geomancy.Net "Mr Cecil Lee, Thank you very much for your quick reply.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for your Applying Feng-Shui course and especially the
Flying stars course.

Your courses were easy to understand, clear, precise and very imaging. I will strongly recommend the Flying
Stars course for those who want to have a better knowledge on the Flying stars.

I almost finish my course. I am doing the exercice on the case studies. As soon I finish, I will send you my
home work for your appreciation.

I am interested in having more Feng-Shui courses with your school."

Best regards,
David Tan
