It is a traditional belief that changing a person’s name will help to change his luck in his life. Today, apart from believing in luck and Feng Shui, many people also place great importance in their names. They mostly believe that having a good or bad name would affect their luck in their lifetime. Even so, many believe that picking or changing their name would cause great changes in their lives.
Indeed, many famous people in the world today changed their name. For example, Deng Xiao Ping was once known as Deng Xi Xian, and Andy Lau changed his name from Liu Fu Rong to Liu De Hua today. People these days are actually willing to pay a lot of money to get a good name. Moreover, many enterprises today also underwent the process of being renamed to cater to the Eight Characters of its owner. This helps to ensure greater success for the company by increasing its publicity and level of competitiveness.
However, Master Koh still firmly believes that the study of names varies from person to person and should be viewed more objectively.
