New Members Cain Posted May 25, 2019 at 07:12 PM New Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 at 07:12 PM Hello, I would like some help determining if these names are good/appropriate/authentic for characters in an ancient Chinese story? 从霜 千秋 兰韵 清绝 飞流 花箨 飞瑶 I would also like to ask for some good sources to find authentic ancient Chinese names.

陳德聰 Posted May 25, 2019 at 11:32 PM Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 at 11:32 PM Is the story going to be written in Modern or Classical Chinese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Cain Posted May 26, 2019 at 04:42 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 at 04:42 AM @陳德聰 it’s going to be in English, to start with, but I prefer modern Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganbei Posted May 28, 2019 at 08:40 AM Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 at 08:40 AM Here's an article with a bunch of good names for male characters in ancient chinese stories, the top is mainly explanation but if you scroll down you will find lots of 2, 3 and 4 character names. The article is entirely in traditional Chinese, so I have listed out some of them in simplified chinese below. Hope this helps and looking forward to reading the novel!

Lu Posted May 28, 2019 at 01:19 PM Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 at 01:19 PM Those are good names from ancient Chinese stories. Don't call your character Xuande or worse, Dong Zhuo unless you really know what you're doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
