Should parents have their child's fortune told immediately after birth, and then choose a suitable name based on that? The two pages above describe the simplest traditional methods of fortune telling: "Weighing Bones Fortune Telling" and "Four Seasons and Four Emperors Fortune Telling." Between the 1930s and 1970s, many parents would consult the almanac to check their child's destiny after birth, and some would even ask fortune tellers to identify which element was missing in the child's Five Elements, supplementing it in the name. My mother did the same; my grandfather said she lacked the element of metal, so he specifically chose characters related to the metal element for her name. However, it's important to note that there are many different schools of thought in name analysis. Some base their approach on the Five Elements of pronunciation, others on the Five Elements of stroke count, and still others on the Five Elements of the characters themselves. Some schools focus on the Chinese zodiac, some on the Eight Characters (Ba Zi), and others on the number of strokes. Each school has its own theories and methods; there is no absolute right or wrong. The key lies in overall balance and compatibility with the individual's energy field.
