Chapter 2925: Giving A Na (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I’ve thought of so many nas, but I just can’t decide on one.”
The art of naming is very profound.
Yun Shishi was extrely picky in this aspect.
A na was more than a simple representation. She believed in the knowledge behind this skill. First of all, the na had to sound smooth and pleasant. One had to pay attention to the tone. A na that didn’t fall comfortably on the ear, even if aningful, was not favourable.
Attention also had to be paid to homophones.
For example, nas like “Du Ziteng” and “Yuling” had good anings, but the homophones which could be heard as “stomachache” and “drenched by rain” respectively, would make these nas a bad joke!
The nas should not carry too many strokes, or it would be troubleso 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 elents, and yin and yang.
“What nas have you thought of?” Mu Yazhe couldn’t help being curious.
“For a boy, I thought of a few nas—”
Yun Shishi paused for a mont and continued, “Mu Tianyi – it has the aning of soaring towards the skies and achieving great things. Mu Junhao – aning a gentleman’s boldness.”
“Not good,” he voiced his opinion.
“There’s more!”
Yun Shishi listed many more.
In fact, the nas she had thought of were not only aningful, they sounded pleasant.
Alas, Mu Yazhe did not like what he heard.
“Have you thought of nas 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’ nas 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 na. We’ll select this na.”
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 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.”
