The most useful naming preferences are explicit enough that two family members can apply them in the same way. This page is for traditional-culture learning and practical self-review; it does not guarantee personal outcomes or replace professional advice.
What to review first
Separate hard exclusions from soft preferences and record the reason for each item so disagreements can be discussed rather than remembered differently.
Practical checklist
- List generation and family-name constraints.
- Mark hard exclusions separately from style preferences.
- Test pronunciation in the relevant dialects.
- Set a priority order before comparing candidates.
How to use the result
Use the screening tool after the family has agreed on the shortlist rules. Keep the input, assumptions, and open questions visible when you review the result later.
