appellation, praise, admire, name, title, fame
称 centers on giving a name or title to someone or something, and by extension, praising or admiring them. The ideas of appellation, fame, and praise all flow from the act of calling someone by an honored name.
称 is the modern simplified form of 稱. The older form combines 禾 (grain) with 爯, which likely contributed the sound and the idea of lifting or weighing, later extended to naming and praising. The modern right-side 尔 is a simplification.
The left side 禾 (grain) and right side 尔 (a simplified shape suggesting a person) can be remembered as a person weighing grain and calling out its name or praising its quality.
For ショウ, imagine a show where someone is praised and given a title: show -> ショウ, and the applause is for their fame.
