Chapter 2925: Giving A Name (4)
“I’ve thought of so many names, but I just can’t decide on one.”
The art of naming is very profound.
Yun Shishi was extremely picky in this aspect.
A name was more than a simple representation. She believed in the knowledge behind this skill. First of all, the name had to sound smooth and pleasant. One had to pay attention to the tone. A name that didn’t fall comfortably on the ear, even if meaningful, was not favourable.
Attention also had to be paid to homophones.
For example, names like “Du Ziteng” and “Yuling” had good meanings, but the homophones which could be heard as “stomachache” and “drenched by rain” respectively, would make these names a bad joke!
The names should not carry too many strokes, or it would be troublesome to write.
The zodiac and the eight characters also had to be considered. People of the older generation would pay much attention to the five elements, and yin and yang.
“What names have you thought of?” Mu Yazhe couldn’t help being curious.
“For a boy, I thought of a few names—”
Yun Shishi paused for a moment and continued, “Mu Tianyi – it has the meaning of soaring towards the skies and achieving great things. Mu Junhao – meaning a gentleman’s boldness.”
“Not good,” he voiced his opinion.
“There’s more!”
Yun Shishi listed many more.
In fact, the names she had thought of were not only meaningful, they sounded pleasant.
Alas, Mu Yazhe did not like what he heard.
“Have you thought of names for a girl?”
She replied matter-of-factly, “Of course!”
“Oh, really? Such as…?”
“Mu Jinghan, Mu Yiyi, Mu Yueyao…”
“Mu Yueyao?”
He cut her off abruptly.
She raised her brows in surprise and pouted. “What’s wrong?”
He smiled. “Very nice.”
“…Hey, aren’t you being a little too biased?” Yun Shishi said in disdain. “Obviously you prefer girls, that’s why girls’ names sound so pleasing to your ears! This kind of evaluation is not fair at all!”
“Who says so?”
He said in all seriousness, “Yueyao is a really nice name. We’ll select this name.”
Yun Shishi was indignant and said, “What if it’s not a girl?”
“I’m the one who decides if it’s a girl or not, not you. So you don’t have to worry yourself over that.” He tapped her nose confidently. “I think the little guy is definitely a girl.”
“What?! You make it seem as if you and your daughter have telepathy!” Yun Shishi was a little jealous. “If it’s really a girl, there’d be nothing left of my status in this family! You’ll only have your daughter at heart. And wouldn’t my life be tough if father and daughter are united as one?”
“Don’t you already have Youyou and Little Yichen?”
“…”
She was speechless.
“Aren’t the three of you united as one? I’d be united as one with my daughter. What’s wrong with that? Is that not allowed?” He made it seem very reasonable.
“Fine, fine! You’re right! You’re the most logical and reasonable!” Yun Shishi said in a huff.
Terribly amused, he suddenly hugged her tightly and said solemnly, “Don’t worry. In my heart, you will always be the most important! No one can compare to you!”
“That may be the case now, but it might not be the case after our daughter is born!” Her words were harsh but inside, she was feeling all the sweetness. “When our daughter arrives, there won’t be a place for me in this household!”
Mu Yazhe consoled her, “I’m serious! A few thousand daughters can’t compare to you.”
“A few thousand? You have to be able to afford it in the first place.”
