Lucky Name

Xiaojun Huang
Lucky Name 
In China, most parents strongly believe names can affect their fate directly. They will try different ways to pick wonderful names for their children, which can bless their whole life. Because of the large population in my hometown, I can always find one person who was the same name as me on the street. 
I like my name because it belongs to me. It is like my organ which I cannot lose. Luckily, I am the only one in my family. I did not inherit it from my family. I know it is popular to have the same name as your family, but it is different in China. Usually, people will not have the same name as the elder member of the family. They think it is disrespectful if the young call their name. 
My name has three characters. The first one is my family name-Huang. The second is Xiao. Usually, people use one character to distinguish the different rank of the family, so my second character represents the seniority in the family. For example, my sisters or my brothers have the same one as the second character. The last one is JunThis one can mean an emperor, a man of honor and a soldier. Moreover, when my father chose this one for me, he wanted me to be strong, healthy and powerful. 

It reminds me to be better in the future when I think about my name. My name will shine me a right direction like the Sun. If I get in trouble, my name seems to tell me I have to keep it and do not give up. I will be successful in the future. I know I cannot be an emperor, but I can get a promotion in my field. That’s the attitude in my life. Everything will be better and better if I try my best.

  2. Hi XiaoJun, I am interested in every Chinese name. Each name has its own meaning and purpose. Is your family name Huang means yellow? My company's name is also Huang that means yellow.

  4. Hi Xiaojun, I like your name. I have many friends who named Jun in China. In China, we use input method of Pinyin to find a right Chinese character that we wanted. parhas, if people only tell me the Pinyin of their name, then I do not know which character they use.

  5. Hi,Xiaojun. I am Heather. Your name really has a special meaning, and your name sounds very good. I understand why your father give you this name because most of the Chinese parents have the same goal for their children's name. I believe you can be how your dad want you to be. Your can be strong and be the king inthe future after you find your own path.
