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.

Is the story going to be written in Modern or Classical Chinese?

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! XD

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.
