The origin of the name Li Bai

There are two versions of the origin of Li Bai's name:

The first version:

When Li Bai was seven years old, his father wanted to give his son a formal name. Li Bai's parents love reading, and they want to train their son to be an elegant and refined person. Father usually likes to teach his children to read books and write poems. When he was brewing a name, he discussed with his mother and tested his son's ability to write poems when he was walking in the courtyard.

my father looked at the lush trees and flowers in the courtyard in spring, and began to recite poems: "Spring brings warmth and flowers, and it comes first in spring." Mother went on to say, "The burning leaves and the red clouds fall." Li Bai knew that his parents had recited the first three sentences of the poem and deliberately left the last sentence, hoping to continue it himself. He walked to the front of the blooming plum tree flower, thought for a moment and said, "Plum flowers are in full bloom."

"white"-doesn't it say the holiness and elegance of plum flowers? The father had a brainwave and decided to choose the words "Li" and "Bai" at the beginning and end of the wonderful sentence as the child's name, so he named his seven-year-old son "Li Bai".

The second statement:

Li Bai's name was given to Li Bai, who was born later, after his father returned to Shu to restore his surname. Li's mother became pregnant after dreaming of Taibai Venus, and Li Bai was born in unbearable pain. Li Bai's name was derived from this dream.
