小学男孩“嘉豪”希望改名:总被嘲笑,晚上睡不着觉;妈妈:这个名字原本有很美好的寓意
“妈妈,能不能把我的名字改掉?”说出这句话的,是一个还在上小学、名叫嘉豪的男孩。
11月10日,据广州日报报道,“妈妈,能不能把我的名字改掉?”这句话,一个叫嘉豪的小朋友已经跟妈妈重复讲过很多次了。一个还在上小学的男孩,用他有限的词汇量,努力向妈妈解释为什么“嘉豪”这个名字不好,“总是有人嘲笑我,然后喊我的名字:“嘉豪!嘉豪!”
A primary school boy named Jiahao has repeatedly asked his mother to change his name because after "Jiahao" became an internet meme, he is constantly mocked over it.
这位小男孩的母亲刘女士(化名)告诉记者,一开始孩子说在学校被同学嘲笑,她很是不解。这个名字原本有很美好的寓意,“嘉是美好良善,也承了家里的字;豪寄托了我的心愿,希望他一生平安健康,品行美好,长成让我骄傲的小孩。”刘女士想不通,一个好好的名字,怎么会变成一个“骂人调侃”的梗。
His mother surnamed Liu (pseudonym) said she initially could not understand why a name she had chosen with care had become a source of distress. She had explained that jia denotes goodness and beauty, while hao reflects her wish for a safe, healthy life and good character.

她曾认真地给孩子解释过这些寓意。但伤害还是实实在在地造成了。总有同学嘲笑他,晚上也经常睡不着觉。“只是因为他名字里有嘉豪,就要承受这些负面影响,我觉得太不公平了。”
“我个人觉得呼吁起不了多大的作用,普通人的力量太小了。”刘女士说,而且这是个网络梗,别人就会说,“我只是开玩笑而已,谁知道他心里这么脆弱。”在她看来,唯一的解决办法就只能是改名字。但老家离得太远,来回路途对一个小孩来说太奔波,“只能等他再长大一些,才能去改。”
The explanation did not stop the teasing. The boy was often laughed at by classmates and frequently lay awake at night, his mother said. People often dismissed the issue by saying they were "only joking" and implying that the child was too fragile, she added.
She saw legal name change as the only practical remedy, but the family's hometown is far away, and the trip would be exhausting for a young child, so she plans to wait until he is older.
当“嘉豪”这个名字成为一个“梗”
2026年被叫得最多的名字之一,不是明星,不是网红,而是一个你可能经常遇到的名字,嘉豪。一个原本寄托着美好期许的普通名字,滑向泛指一切“装腔作势、用力过猛”的梗。

据广州日报介绍,“嘉豪”梗最早来自2024年某短视频平台上一个视频。
有人在教室里模仿知名音乐人Alan Walker,伴着音乐做“虚空打碟”的动作,视频意外火了。上传时,他的名字被误打成了“嘉豪”——他本名并不叫这个。于是,网友就开始拿这个词自嘲青春期那种“装酷”的劲儿,慢慢玩成了一个圈子里的暗号。
到2026年夏天,这个梗再次爆火出圈。传播一扩大,传出了原本的圈子。词义也跟着跑了偏,从自嘲变成嘲讽他人,泛指一切“装腔作势、用力过猛”,变成具有贬义色彩的形容词。
The term first appeared in a 2024 short-video post. Users initially adopted it to mock the awkward "cool" phase of adolescence, and it spread as an in-group code. By summer 2026, it had broken out of that circle, shifting from self-deprecation to a derogatory term for affectation or trying too hard.

名字为何会让孩子介意?
“从社会心理学的角度看,名字从来不只是一个称呼。它是人进入社会时最先递出去的一张‘文化标签’:别人还没认识你,先从名字里读取性别、族群、性格预设,再决定怎么和你打交道。”中国科学院心理研究所副研究员任孝鹏说。
“名字是你自我的一部分。”一个被梗覆盖的名字,短期伤的是“别人怎么看我”,如果反复发生,最终可能会碰到“我怎么看自己”那一层。这或许才是嘉豪小朋友想改名、嘉欣删评论背后,更值得认真对待的东西。
Ren Xiaopeng, an associate researcher at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said a name is not merely a form of address but a cultural label people carry before they are known; others read gender, ethnicity and personality assumptions from it and decide how to engage.
A name is also part of the self, he said. When it is overlaid by a joke, the short-term harm is "how others see me"; if repeated, it can reach "how I see myself".
对于受到困扰的人,他建议:
①现实中被嘲笑,可以正式表达不适,让对方知道边界在哪里;
②网络上则在热点期主动减少接触相关词条,先把负面刺激降下来。
但他强调,更长远的解法最终要回到自己身上。“自己也要给名字赋予积极的意义。”
