可以用月份做英文名嗎?

簡短回答:是又不是!有些月份可以作為英文名使用,有些卻不能。實際上,適合做英文名的月份,可以很好地反映出名字流行趨勢。取英文名最困惑的地方,就是你不知道這個名詞是否被約定成俗為人名。因此,有些月份可以作為名字,有些卻不適合。

The short answer is - Yes and No! There are some months that are acceptable to use as English names and there are others that are not. In fact, this is a great example of how English name trends can occur. English names are confusing because the only thing that makes a name, a name is that the society mostly agrees that it can be considered a name! Therefore, there are some months people respect as names and the others would sound very weird.

讓我們來看一下

Let us break it down for you

年中的那些月份作為名字的話,西方人會怎麼想

Names that sit in the middle, both of the year and of peoples opinions

July(七月)

Augurst(八月)

July-這個名字不太常見,但是July在拼寫和發音上與Julie和Julia都很相近,所以可以作為英文名使用。不過有些西方人還是會覺得這個名字怪怪的,所以要慎重哦!

July - This is not a very common name, but it has a similar look and some similar sounds to names like Julie and Julia, therefore it is a considered a form of those names. However, it might feel a bit strange to some - just as a warning!

August-這個名字很有趣,因為這是Augustus, Augusto等名字的詞根。所以August聽起來並不奇怪。我認為這個名字很適合又酷又強壯的男孩!

August - This name is an interesting one because it is the root of a couple of names - Augustus, Augusto. So August, doesnt feel as strange. I think it could be a cool and strong boys name!

現在來看看哪些有爭議的月份

Now lets look at some other months that are a bit more confusing

resource: Giphy

September(九月)

October(十月)

November(十一月)

你可能在網上說這些月份可以作為名字,但是非常非常少見。名為「October(十月)」的人只佔總人口千分之六,這可以說是少得可憐了。在工作場合里這些名字會貽笑大方,也許藝術家、演員或者設計師可以用一用,但是別人一定會問你為什麼給自己取這樣的名字。

You might find these months online used as names, but they are very, very rare. To put it into perspective the name 「October」 was only used by 6 people out of 1 million people. Thats a little bit too rare. In an office setting these names would feel a bit out of place. For someone who is an artist, actress, or designer they might feel a bit more appropriate, but just be prepared to have some questions asked about your name.

一定要繞行的月份名

Months that definitely should not be used as names

resource: Giphy

December(十二月)

March(三月)

February(二月)

December-十二月是假期和聖誕節的象徵,所以December這個名字聽起來非常詭異。沒人會這麼乾的,因為十二月在西方文化里有太多意義了。

December - this month is dominated by holidays and Christmas and would be a strange choice. It would be hard for people to see the person behind the name, because the month has so much already attached to it.

March-在英文里「to march」是行軍的意思,你要出征嗎兄dier?

March - this month is also an English word 「to march」, so it just feels weird to also use it as a name.

February -這個月份太難發音和拼寫了!不要折磨別人了好么?

February - this month is a bit hard to pronounce and to spell! Its would be very confusing to use it as an English name.

最後-完全可以放心使用的月份名!

FINALLY - Here are the names you can use, with no questions asked!

January(一月)

April(四月)

May(五月)

June(六月)

沒人會向這些名字翻白眼,其中「一月」可能最不常見,但是演員「January Jones」已經給大眾洗腦了,大家都越來越習慣這個名字的存在。

These names wont raise any eyebrows. January is definitely the most unique name out of this list, but thanks to actress January Jones - it is much more accepted these days.
