“Sheng” as a male given name












1















Apparently there are quite a lot of characters that are pronounced as "sheng". (According to Pleco: 生、声、省、升、胜、圣、剩，盛、牲、绳、笙、甥、嵊、眚、乘、昇、晟、渑、㗂，呏，曻、泩、陞、鼪)



Which of these could plausibly be used as a (single character) male given name?

          [省] as in 自省 (introspection) it is very meaningful as a name, but 省 can also mean province, may cause confusion




          The following are very common single character names:




          [盛] as in 強盛 (powerful and prosperous)



          [胜] as in 胜利 (victory)



          [昇] as in 高昇 (rise high)



          升 and 陞 also mean rise, but as a name, 昇 is the most standard one




          The following are questionable:




          牲 as in 牲口 (livestock) - very bad as a name



          剩 as in 剩余 (left-over; surplus; remaining) - not suitable as a name



          生 as in 生存(alive) 生命(life) - rare used in name because 生 is also a verb for give birth



          声 as in 声音(sound) - not very meaningful as a name



          圣 as in 神圣(holy) - too arrogant as a name



          甥 (nephew) - not suitable as a name



          乘 (ride)- not very meaningful as a name

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
