3 approaches by moms

Feng Shui35% moms chose this path

Consulting a professional to calculate auspicious names based on Bazi.

Suits parents who want traditional assurance that the name brings good luck and balance. You usually get a list of character combinations to choose from after providing the birth details.

PW

Priscilla W.. · First-time mom · 24 weeks pregnant

We paid a master at Fortune Centre to calculate his Bazi. Gave us five combinations, but honestly some sounded quite old-fashioned.

MK

Meiling K.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 2 months

My in-laws insisted on a master for both kids. It saves us the headache of arguing over Chinese characters anyway.

Modern Preference35% moms chose this path

Choosing names based purely on personal liking, sound, and modern meanings.

Suits independent couples who prefer contemporary names over strict cultural or astrological naming rules. You will likely spend hours scrolling through baby name apps and debating with your spouse.

AH

Alicia H.. · First-time mom · 20 weeks pregnant

We just used an app like Tinder for baby names and swiped until we matched. Picked Liam because it sounds nice with our surname.

NF

Nadia F.. · Working mom · 28 weeks pregnant

I wanted an Arabic name that is easy to pronounce globally. We searched online and shortlisted three before deciding on one.

Family Tradition20% moms chose this path

Following generational poems or letting grandparents pick the baby's Chinese name.

Suits families with strong cultural roots or those who want to honor their elders. The grandparents usually consult the family tree to find the correct middle character for that generation.

WT

Wai Ting S.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 4 months

My father-in-law picked the Chinese name using their family generation poem. We only got to choose her English name ourselves.

KN

Kavitha N.. · First-time mom · 26 weeks pregnant

We are naming him after my late grandfather. It means a lot to my dad, even though the name is a bit traditional.

Expert guidance

Choosing a baby name is a personal milestone that shapes their lifelong identity. Parents often select names based on meaningful values, family traditions, or auspicious characters, and HealthHub notes frequent use stimulates early brain development. What matters most is finding a name you love, as babies typically respond to it by 12 months.
