在中国古代，名是留着自称的，对人称自己的名，是一种谦虚与礼貌；称谓对方时，便以称字而为礼貌。现在似乎不再讲究这些了。自称也只是“我”“俺”，粗鄙不堪。

名-字关系

　　同义互训.诸葛亮字孔明,屈原名平字原,亮与明,平与原,都是同义词,可以互相注释.   
　　反义相对.韩愈字退之,黄损字益之,愈与退,损与益,都是反义词.   
　　联义推想.关羽字云长,是由羽毛推想到云的.赵家驹字千里,由驹而及千里.   
　　联义指实.赵云字子龙,陆云字士龙,由云联想而指出实物龙.   
　　辨物统类.如范泰横字宗山,周鼎字伯器,泰衡为山类,鼎为器类.   
　　原名加辞.如杜牧字攸之.   
　　干支五行.秦白丙字乙,纯属天干相配.楚公子午字子庚,天干地支相配.   
　　形体离合.如宋玫字文玉,尤侗字同人.   
　　形体增省.如秦桧字会之,顾媚字媚生.   
　　成语贯穿.如魏哲字知人,出自"知人之哲",钱谦益字受之,取自"谦受益".   
　　表白思慕.顾祖禹字景龙,雷渊字希颜,名直取仰慕者之名,字作注释.   

笑话一则

A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk."
What to write? He sighed, and began to scribble whatever came into his head, hoping for the best:

1. No need to boil.
2. Never goes sour.
3. Available whenever necessary.

So far so good - maybe. But the exam demanded a fourth answer. Again, what to write? Once more, he sighed. He frowned. He scowled, then sighed again. Suddenly, he brightened. He grabbed his pen, and triumphantly, he scribbled his definitive answer:

4. Available in attractive containers of varying sizes.

He received an A.
