潮不潮?英国父母现在给宝宝取名都用宜家家具名
父母给孩子取的名字寄托了他们对孩子的期望。那么,你会给孩子取家具名吗?英国“宝宝中心”网站为家长们推荐了一些宜家公司家具的名称,这些名字或将引领今年英国婴儿取名的趋势。
The year has already seen baby-name trends galore, with gender-neutral monikers reigning supreme.
今年宝宝的取名趋势各异,其中中性名字成为主流。
And Baby Centre has now earmarked names inspired by Ikea as a potential new trend to sweep the nation.
“宝宝中心”日前发布了受宜家家居名启发的一些宝宝名,据称这种取名方式在英国将成为新的流行趋势。
The furniture manufacturer often chooses traditional Scandinavian names for its products with the Billy bookcase, Malm bed and Tarva wooden range among its most popular lines.
宜家公司通常选择传统的斯堪的纳维亚名字给产品命名,比利书架、马尔姆床和塔尔瓦实木家具系列等等都是非常受欢迎的产品。
Writer Lucy BC suggests: “Naming your baby after IKEA furniture might seem ridiculous at first glance, but don’t dismiss the idea! IKEA is known for the charming Scandinavian names it gives its products and many work surprisingly well as baby names.”
该报告作者露西说:“给孩子取宜家家具名看似有点滑稽,不过也不要对这一想法不屑一顾。众所周知,宜家公司通常用美丽的斯堪的纳维亚名字为产品命名,其中也有很多名字非常适合用做宝宝的名字。”
She goes on to suggest Malm, a name which has been used by Ikea for it's “simple, streamlined design” bedroom range.
她继续向大家推荐“Malm(马尔姆)”这个名字,马尔姆是宜家的一个卧室系列,设计简单大方,总体呈流线型。
She also suggests Ingo, which is the male version to Inga or Inge, as well as Tarva, which also references their untreated solid wood range.
她还向大家推荐了Ingo(英格),对应的女性名字是Inga或者Inge,还有Tarva(塔尔瓦),这些名字对应的产品都是未经处理的实木系列。
However, not all names are completely unusual, with Cilla, Franklin, Tobias and Stefan among the names already more common in the UK.
然而,并非所有的名字都非比寻常。像Cilla(奇拉)、Franklin(富兰克林)、Tobias(托拜厄斯)和Stefan(斯特凡)等名字在英国已经很常见。
In December, Mother and Baby magazine predicted gender neutral names would be huge, as well as predicting that names ending in 'a' such as Amelia and Ella would be popular for little girls.
去年12月,《妈妈和宝宝》杂志预测中性名字将大为流行,以“a”结尾的女宝宝名字也将很受欢迎,比如Amelia和Ella。
And the year's trend of Royal-inspired names looks set to continue, with Meghan and Harry top contenders ahead of the royal wedding next month.
今年给宝宝取英国王室成员名字的趋势仍将继续,下个月梅根和哈里大婚之际,他俩的名字也会在家长中非常受欢迎。
