주요 성명학의 작명법 비판적 고찰

Abstract

To draw the best naming method, this thesis examined jaui-nameology, jawon-ohaeng-nameology, 81-suli-nameology, suli-ohaeng-nameology, pronunciation-ohaeng-nameology, myeongli-nameology and hangeul-sibseong-nameology by focusing on problems and improvement directions from a critical point of view.
 The problems of major nameologies are as following: First, it emphasizes gaeun, but we cannot know whether it is possible to have gaeun. The influence of name on human beings is acknowledged but we cannot escape criticism and fortune-telling if we only insist on positive gaeunlon, so theories of destiny should be reconsidered. Second, each nameology has different foundation of gaeun. As for suli or jupasu, there are criticisms but no counterevidence, and only self-acknowledge and disparagement for others, so it is required the study on foundation of gaeun which has little previous studies. Third, the analysis of good or bad names is also problematic. 81yeongdongsu is difficult to accept and ohaeng-nameology needs verification to settle the problems and different opinions. Fourth, since each nameology has many problems deduced from each type, these should be solved, too.
 In conclusion, it is difficult to say which nameologiy is best because every nameology has its own problems and criticisms. If we verify and improve not only the examined seven nameologies , but also others, it can become the best naming method, so we must establish a system of nameology, with an active attitude.
