This phenomenon of casually choosing names for boys and girls only started to improve in the years after Taiwan's return to Chinese rule when people's educational levels started to gradually rise. The next thing was the emergence of popular names that not only sounded good but had warm associations, or what was popularly known as "vegetable-market names."
這種隨便為子女取名的怪現象，直到台灣光復後民眾教育水準逐漸提高才慢慢改善；接著是一些又好聽又有親切感，俗稱「菜市仔名」的大眾化名字出現了。
