The Strange Case of the Name

Everyone: "……"

On the first day of the new year, seeing this news, the ancestors were still a bit puzzled. Why would their descendants want someone else to help name them when everything was perfectly fine? But then they thought about how nowadays, many people like to ask elders, teachers, or high-ranking officials to help name their children or subordinates, so they were no longer surprised.

In addition, some people wondered if the surname "Ji" actually existed. Others expressed calmly that of course it did, it was just relatively rare.

After discussing the existence of the surname, the ancestors' attention inevitably shifted to the act of naming itself.

"With the surname Ji, it's not easy to give a good name, especially in a situation where both sides are surnamed Ji. One needs to consider the feelings of the groom's family and the bride's family as well." An ancient scholar stroked his beard and shook his head, sinking into his own thoughts.

A crowd of naming talents pondered for a while, first thinking of names like——

"Ji Tian Xiang (meaning a silly bird soaring in the sky, roaming freely in the heights)."

"Ji Xiao (meaning the golden rooster announcing the dawn, dispelling the darkness, bringing vast light)."

…………

There are many names that can be given to the Ji surname, but under the premise that both the man and woman are surnamed Ji and wanting a good name, it is not that easy. There are truly too many aspects and people to consider.

As everyone knows, in ancient China, naming was a very sacred and valued matter. Especially in certain clans and families that emphasized patriarchal rites and laws, it was even more significant.

Not to mention the various taboos regarding elders and monarchs. Just the taboo regarding ancestors alone was enough to make one's head ache for half a day.

While the ancestors were still deep in thought, conducting a brainstorm, they were suddenly left speechless and agape by the new content updated on the heavenly screen.

Hey, hey, hey…… This is too much!!!

First to appear was a naming genius from Guangdong Province. According to this genius's self-description, he had rich experience in naming. He had provided valuable suggestions under 136 naming request topics. This time, as expected, he also gave his valuable opinion under this topic. His message was: "Why not just call him Ji Ji Bao!"

Everyone: "……"

The ancestors were shocked, their mouths hanging open. Good heavens, this is not following the script at all. After such a long introduction, they thought he was some formidable character. In the end, in the end!…… That was it?!

Alright, the ancestors were successfully defeated by the talent displayed by the future naming genius. They expressed that they had nothing left to say, they were utterly impressed～——

After all, there were already two "Ji"s, which took care of the face of both parents and the clans. Since that part was covered, what else could they say? It's just that the child's last character was a bit…… what, what, what——like that?

They felt it didn't really matter. Anyway, it wasn't their descendant……

They finally knew why he was called a naming genius. They had to be impressed; the future netizens were truly…… each one a great talent! There was no comparison, simply no comparison!

Next appeared a naming genius from XX Province. This contestant also had rich naming experience. This time, he said: "Call him Ji Chu Tian!"

Everyone: "……"

Good, good!…… Well named!…… This name has the style of the Overlord of old fighting against nature. Full of domineering aura and deep meaning, it truly came from a genius!

The third naming genius to appear also had rich experience. He said: "The father is called Ji Yi, the mother is called Ji Liu, the son can be called Ji Yi Jian, the daughter can be called Ji Mi Hua, the grandfather can be called……"

Everyone: "……"

Their heads were full of black lines. Future genius, don't go too far! Following this logic, why not just Ji Zhao, Ji Ji Delicious, Ji Da Zhuang…… Fine! Anyway, it's all a Ji Ji Family Bucket, just different ways of cooking chicken.

It must be said, contemporary netizens are indeed each a naming genius, with endless strange and wonderful ideas. Even the KFC Family Bucket was brought out. I have nothing to say, please let the great talents here speak, I shall take my leave. I'm going to eat chicken!

In everyone's mind, a thought suddenly flashed for some reason——Crazy Thursday, give me fifty yuan, you eat chicken!

Everyone: …… Spit, spit, spit, what kind of dirty things are entering my mind!!?

The ancestors shook their heads frantically. This must be the fault of the heavenly screen, showing them unclean things!

"But speaking of so much chicken, it makes We hungry!" An emperor surnamed Zhu awkwardly rubbed his round belly. It couldn't be helped; he had been fat since childhood, and with a leg disability making movement difficult, he had become even fatter.

Ministers who wanted the country to prosper: Your Majesty, why don't we hold court? Don't learn from your Imperial Grandfather!

Ordinary ministers: No, no, no, please don't have a Wan Li Mid-Reign Prosperity! The current situation is quite good, no need for all sorts of strict assessments……
