Chinese Name Analysis (Xing Ming Xue) = Change Name or New born's Name

I need advice from Geomancer expert. I am from the traditional Chinese character generation but recent years Chinese characters has been change to simplified Chinese. So now I have been puzzling, in my time the Feng Shui name were calculated using traditional Chinese character number of strokes. With simplified Chinese, the characters has reduced the number of character strokes. So would this impact our Chinese name? Should we re-evaluate again our Chinese name based on the new simplified key stroke? Using bazi 5 element calculation, will the name in simplified or traditional be affect? So does our Chinese name follow traditional strokes…

Question: Can you advise what is covered under the naming service and how many names will be given for selection? 1. Thank you for your interest in our service. I will assist you on this portion, since I specialize in this area. 2. Usually, I will work out the best names available from various top name stroke groups (usually 80%-100% name stroke groups). 2.1 Depending on number of strokes of each group, some may have more 5-10, some may have less (1-5). But all in all there should be quite a lot of names available to pick from. 3. The names I normally match will be characters that are meaningful, so it will sound nice and have some meaning (if possible…

Hi, Do you have a book on ?????w to recommend or sell? I am quite interested to read up on this

It is good that Taiwan wants to continue the tradition of making the Traditional Chinese characters alive! Traditional Chinese characters are still used today especially for Chinese Name selection for new borns or those wanting to change their name(s). Nowadays, China and even Singapore uses the simplified mandarin characters.

Dear Fiona, Frankly, with or without ba zi analysis, many people have opted to change their names. In fact, name change (or for that matter) is pretty easy. One only needs to go to a lawyer, ask for a "deed poll" service. And the lawyer will prepare a deed poll for effecting a name change. In Singapore, depending on the law firm, the service charge is around $150 to $200 for this change. One can present this document to the National Registration Office to process a change of IC name. Of-course, bank accounts etc.. should be updated with the name change. Also by presenting the copy of the deed poll to the bank or any institutions of borrowing. It is a legal copy that is …

Hi, Personally, I normally do not advise any one to changea name whereever possible. This is because the overall effort and hassle to effect a name change can sometimes make it not worth the while. Especially, if the name luck isn't going to be that very much better. In order for a name change to be fully effective, you need to have as many people (especially your friend / relative) know about this name change so that they will officially be calling and using your new name. If they still call you by your old name, then you will not be able to benefit from this luck. This is the most important of all. If your new name isn't being used, then you will not be able to benefi…

Hi, Thank you for your forthright reply. I also read that the different characters of our name represent different periods of our lives e.g. our surname represents our childhood period whereas our middle and last name represent our mid and later part of the years, is that true? As I realised that my earlier part of the years seem much better as compared to now and have met with various 'fortune tellers' who have encouraged me to change my name on and off but I have not really heeded their advice until I found out more abt the significance of one's name recently. Thanks!

Name Stroke is one way to determine the luck of the name. But a good name stroke should also go with the name sound and name meaning. No point having a name that you do not like how it sounds.

1. This is not a free service. 2. As you had mentioned that many people felt that your name dows not suit you, you may like to take note that: Usually, names are selected when young i.e. at birth. If u susequently change to a new name, but will not use it, I personally don't see any use, here. For example, if u are in Singapore where the commercial language is English, and if u don't use the new mandarin name, frankly it is not much use changing the name. The most effective is to use one's newly changed name. Further more, if one has a Christian name e.g. Christine, you will be usingthis more often!

1. Please note that it is best to use the new name once it has been chosen or selected. 2. For example, if a person is known as : Richard Lim; but this person had changed his Chinese name to Lim Ah Kow. And if he still uses Richard Lim; comes to nought. Thus, if everyone still calls this person Richard... might as well forget about changing the name. 3. Usually, especially in Singapore; those who are serious would go to the a lawyer (attorney) for a deed poll to change the name.

dear cecil, from my pillars of destiny report,i am a weak metal person and have no wood element at all , predominantly water and metal. i have been advised to introduce a lot of wood elements in my life. can u advise me about my name? a friend of mine had her name changed and her life is mucu improved now especially her health. my name is Li Qian Yun.

Dear Anon, For those who are new to Pillars of Name, let me elaborate by giving an illustration. When my eldest brother was born, my grandfather consulted a Geomancer who did up his Pillars of Destiny. The Geomancer `found' that my brother's Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) has an imbalance as he `lacks' the water element. Here, his three character Chinese name has a Chinese name with `Water' in it. The Chinese character `Shui' (exactly the same Chinese character as the `Shui' of Feng Shui. Pillars of Name has been around for a long time as long as Pillars of Destiny and each Chinese character can be `traced' to it as Yin or Yang and a specific Five element i.e. Water, Wood, F…

Dear Anon, I believe you brought up a very interesting point. In my earlier message or response to a question, I did not elaborate another point that you mentioned. One of the most important reason why Pillars of Name is difficult to be applied to Christian names (for now) is because pronounciation is also taken into consideration under Pillars of Name. The sound of a Chinese character has been categorised into each of the five elements. Another reason why Pillars of Name is diffcult to be analysed for Western names is because, each Chinese characters is based on `the number' of strokes for the word. Here, Yin and Yang is also equated with e.g. Plus or Minus, even or odd…

Dear Anon, In the traditional practice, Five Element has been tagged to only CHINESE CHARACTERS. Thus it has been officially used for Chinese names only. However, in recent years, some modern Feng Shui Practitioner has tried to employ these techniques in English Names. I believe I had also come across reading about this. And even some had converted some English names with Five Elements subsitutes. Well, it is difficult to comment on something which has not be tried or tested or has any traditional implementation techniques. So it may or may not work. But so long as whoever came up with this theory has sufficient understanding of the Five Element and applies them properly.…

Dear Chere, 1. This has to do with beliefs. 2. Usually, a house should be `sufficently large' to place portaits. The portaits should preferable be of a reasonable size. 3. Neutral places to hang portraits are along the stairs leading up to the home. (Some people place them here). Other locations are along e.g. study room or `library' room (if one has one). 4. Like the placement of figurines of deities, one should avoild placing them directly facing the entrance door - " acting like a guard " or letting the portraits face into rooms and especially on the same wall as the toilet bowl. Otherwise, hanging the portraits above `chest' level is acceptable as opposed to leaving …

Dear Clarence, I am not sure, if one is aware of what is a "wealth" name. Let me elaborate:- 1. For the Chinese, often is a child is born, a grand-parent or parent would often find a geomancy to look at a `suitable' name for a child. 2. For example, when my elder brother was born, my grandfather, went to see a geomancer. Under his ba zi, he is found to lack `water' element. Thus, one of his name contains water. Therefore, his `English' name has a Hokkien " Chwee " or water. 3. When my turn came, I was found to have balanced elements in my ba zi. Thus, my Chinese name has a " Tiong " or " middle/centre" which is symbolic of balance. 4. For example, please take a look at th…

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: 1. If we were to change our name, after the change, if we do not use that name often, it would be effective. Meaning to say that if people call myChristian name instead of my Chinese name, it would not be effective. Frankly, a name change isn't recommended especially once you reach a certain age. This is because the hassle involved and the effects you can expect from the name is not a great deal. In addition, if you don't use the name it is even less effective. Usually a name is effective only when it is given from birth. As everyone will know and call you by the name. Thus, it is useful when you choose a good name for a baby. You will find…

Dear Luna, Luna Geomancy wrote: So I read that changing names can have effects on a person's luck. And this applies to people with Chinese names. What about those with English names only? Unfortunately, the name stroke analysis was designed mainly for Chinese Names only. So there isn't analysis system that was converted for English Names. There are however, some analysis that bases on the assignining each english alphabet with a five element. So probably it is still possible to use the number characters in the name in some way. But given, this is not a traditional analysis method, so there is no way anyone can tell if they can replicate an similiar calculation syst…

Dear Anon, Once we (personally)find that a name has a "flaw", we should try to skip using the name unless it was given to us (usually) by our parents/grand parents. Thus, there are so many Chinese characters and it is always easy to find a name that may "suit" us. Quote: Anonymous wrote: What kind of meaning name "sinan" may have? As far as I know Sinan means "missing south" in Chinese.

1. Authentic Chinese name selection is different from what you are doing. 2. What you are simply doing is just to check whether perhaps a name is auspicious especially also under numerlogy. 3. Authentic Chinese name selection goes like this:- 3.1 Child is born. Furnish Date and Time of birth to a geomancer. 3.2 Geomancer calculate child's ba zi. And recommend name(s). Your "method" does not come anywhere close to this. Thus Chinese method is wait for ACTUAL birth of child, then......
