An Auspicious Name
For A Good Head Start

Name selection is done on the basis of what the BaZi chart needs. A practitioner cannot know which name is suitable unless they can properly decipher the chart and identify what it requires. The name, its strokes, elements, and structure are all calibrated to make up for what the BaZi chart lacks.

The service is an iterative process — a genuine back-and-forth between you and me. It is not a case of presenting a laundry list of names for you to pick from. Each name is customised to the specific requirements of the chart in question.

The most straightforward reason not to worry is that we are in Singapore. I am not about to take your money and disappear — not when I've spent years building a reputation worth protecting.

I conduct services online to keep costs low, to focus on my practice, and to preserve both our time for things that matter. The quality of the work does not change because it isn't face-to-face.

Yes, absolutely. For name selection and date selection clients, you may text me at any time to check on progress — I understand the urgency these occasions carry. I will also reach out proactively to discuss whether you like the initial sound of a proposed name before finalising the characters.

Expect a high degree of interaction and discussion. This is not a transactional service.

Because choosing a genuinely good name is not easy. The strokes must be right, and on top of that I must cater to individual preferences. If I could simply present a few names and call it done, I would charge considerably less — but that is not how I work.

The time I spend selecting a name consistently exceeds what I spend on an individual BaZi consultation. Each name is also tagged to a different BaZi chart with different elemental requirements. If the practitioner is not highly skilled in BaZi, there is a real risk of selecting a name with the wrong element — which defeats the entire purpose.

No. I have changed my approach to this service — there will not be a written report. Proposed names will be communicated through text and other direct channels.

The reason is that name selection is an iterative process with considerable back-and-forth. Parents rarely state their full preferences upfront — and after receiving proposed names, new preferences surface. I will typically propose more than two names as a result. A formal report does not serve this process well.

If you prefer not to use the names I have proposed, or have a particular sound in mind, you can work with the stroke counts I have derived and find characters that carry the same strokes. The structural framework remains valid regardless of the specific characters chosen within it.

Yes — please allow up to 15 business days. If there are exceptional circumstances requiring the name sooner, I will do my best to accommodate, but please understand that other clients are ahead in the queue.

If you require the name within 2 to 3 business days, an additional expedite fee may apply.
