Why Avoid Trendy Names

"Zi Han," "Zi Xuan," "Hao Ran," "Xin Yi," "Yi Nuo," "Yi Chen" — these are the top names for the 2015-2025 generation.

Why It Matters

Too common. In a class of 30 kids, there might be two "Zi Han." The child becomes "Little Zi Han" or "Big Zi Han." By the time they job-hunt, dozens of resumes may read "Zi Xuan."

Alternatives

Want the feel of "Zi"? Try Zi (子) as a standalone but not paired with Han. Want the feel of "Han" (涵)? Try synonyms: Hong (vast), Che (clear), Chun (pure).
