But not all the people name children in the same way. To name a baby, some parents begin by saying the names of the childs ancestors(祖先). The baby may smile or cry when their parents say an ancestors name. The parents think that the ancestor is reborn(再生) in the baby. So they give the baby that name.Some people change their names.
