Confucianism -> Liji -> Qu Li I -> 44

In giving a name to a son, it should not be that of a state,
nor of a day or a month,
nor of any hidden ailment,
nor of a hill or river.
Sons and daughters should have their (relative) ages distinguished.
A son at twenty is capped, and receives his appellation.
Before his father a son should be called by his name,
and before his ruler a minister.
When a daughter is promised in marriage, she assumes the hair-pin, and receives her appellation.
