Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.
In Chinese tradition, a child is often first given an affectionate, informal pet name ('xiao ming' or 'ru ming') for family use. Later, a formal official name ('da ming' or 'xue ming') must be designated for household registration or school enrollment. Naming a child's formal name is regarded as a solemn and significant family event.
