May I ask everyone, how can I come up with some more elegant and not tacky ancient names?

May I ask everyone, how can I come up with some more elegant and not tacky ancient names? For writing novels. Previously, when I read the South Smoke Temple's records, names like Lu Mansheng and An Erxing were not bad, but I found it hard to think of them. Can anyone give me some suggestions or recommend a few ancient names? thanks

Answer 1

If you want to come up with some more elegant and not tacky ancient names, you can refer to the following suggestions:
1. Use ancient poems and classical Chinese as inspiration, such as the names in the Book of Songs, the names of Tang Dynasty poets, etc.
2. Use the beauty of rhyme, such as choosing pleasant syllables, combining meaningful words, etc.
3. Consider the meaning of the name, such as a beautiful meaning, a rich cultural heritage, etc.
4. Use the combination of surnames, such as combining two surnames into a meaningful name or using the phonological features of surnames.
Pay attention to the pronunciation and writing of the name, such as avoiding words that are too strange or easy to misspell.
Elegant and not tacky ancient names required a certain degree of cultural attainment and imagination to come up with a name that suited one's personal preferences and cultural background.
