However, in reality, many parents still name their children based on personal emotions.
A true story shared by a social media user with the handle “huongquy….” reveals that her grandmother had three children. For unknown reasons, she named them Hận (Hatred), Thù (Revenge), and Đời (Life).

These names evoke negative feelings, which undoubtedly affect the children’s lives. Fortunately, one of the children’s names was changed by a legal officer.
The child originally named Thù (Revenge) was renamed Thu (Autumn), a beautiful and meaningful name symbolizing peace and tranquility. This name reflects a gentle, kind-hearted girl with a serene life.
Unfortunately, the names Hận (Hatred) and Đời (Life) remained unchanged. However, the child renamed Thu is deeply grateful to the legal officer.

“Huongquy…” shared: “My grandmother, for unknown reasons, gave her children very unusual names.
I was told she had three children named Hận, Thù, and Đời.
Fortunately, my mother’s name, Thù, was changed to Thu. She’s very grateful; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.”
This is not an isolated case. Many parents have named their children based on personal emotions, causing online controversy.
For instance, a mother wanted to name her child Nguyễn Thù Hận (Nguyen Revenge Hatred). Thankfully, legal officers intervened, changing it to a more feminine but beautiful name, helping the child succeed in life.
In another case, parents planned to name their child Dữ Lắm (Very Fierce) due to the child’s frequent crying. Again, legal officers stepped in, changing it to a more poetic name.
Many children live with unfortunate names, causing lifelong embarrassment and self-consciousness.
Parents must be cautious when naming their children.

To avoid naming pitfalls, consider these four taboos:
1. Avoid overly common names
While trendy or common names aren’t inherently bad, excessive repetition lacks uniqueness. Choose carefully to create a positive impression, benefiting your child’s communication and career.
2. Avoid ugly or vulgar names
Some believe ugly names protect children from harm, but this is misguided. Names accompany children throughout life, appearing on important documents. A bad name can hinder success and cause ridicule, leading to self-doubt.
3. Avoid names of senior family members
In Vietnamese culture, naming children after elders is disrespectful. Check family records to avoid this.
4. Avoid overly unique names
While uniqueness is good, extreme names can cause confusion and misspellings. They may also attract negative attention, leading to teasing and self-esteem issues.
