BerriApplepi
meiren is weird
the xui in bai xui ying is not chinese aka there's no chinese character that is spelled like that in pinyin form
I'm not a fan of long ji personally
sinian looks weird even tho if you want to get technical it works
otherwise they're pretty much fine!
yaoyueyi I just thought that since Meiren means beauty, i decided to make it a name xD
Oh, it's actually supposed to be xiu hahaha anyways, thank you so much for checking it out. ≧∇≦
BerriApplepi nah meiren is generally used as a title in the imperial palace for concubines HAHA
ohh then xiu ying is fine!
can I ask if Meilin can be used as a female name? 
Xia Meilin
BerriApplepi yep, it is definitely a female name!
yaoyueyi truth is I forgot to edit it in for Yu Chang, then I decided to just let the doctor be unique. For Ang Li "dirty pear" actually fits his character completely though that again was unintentional. He's a bit lecherous and chubby. I'm going for a slightly more comedic approach. Ma Xiong was specifically named that for a single joke. I haven't really given much thought to character names in general outside of Ma Xiong since I specifically wanted to make a joke. However, since they mostly fit what I'm going for with the characters I would still disagree with you.
Like in all honesty, there are several characters who I haven't even revealed their given birth names at all, one of which is the female lead of the story. Most of the characters associated with her haven't had birth names revealed.
yaoyueyi No... I don’t think so, and it’s really depressing. Like, I can’t read the story without alarms going off in my brain, so I dropped it. I’m pretty sure that the author just went, “Hmm... Q’s are very Chinese sounding... let’s add some vowels... what common Chinese words have I heard... Qing... Que... I know! Qai! But yeah, 菜 would be pretty funny. Also, when you consider that one of the characters was named Kongxu, and I quote, “Me and Qinlun have long decided on his name- hoping that he will bring us great fortune,” Y’know, I could be wrong here, but I hear Kongxu and think of 空虚 a.k.a emptiness, void, blankness, etc... and flatulence in some cases. Is that right? Cause I died when I read that.
MishaK I looked at those... 
some of them aren’t even Chinese.
RoachTheRoach Ya! I don't refer to that site anymore!
And this is why I don't read original novels...
MyLifeIsAFurnace Well, there are quite a few quality original novels out there. Reborn: Evolving from Nothing and Realm of Myths and Legends are AMAZING, and Chrysalis is pretty good too. Mainly it’s just hard to read when the author tries to make “Chinese names” for their cultivation world while they have no background in Chinese.
yaoyueyi Hi, Do check the names in my novel too:) Here's the link: https://www.webnovel.com/book/12757649906124705/Two-Contracts---My-Lover-is-a-CEO

Hello! I was roaming around the forum and found your post. I'm not currently working on a novel, but I have been doing a bit of research on Chinese names since I found it interesting. I found that some Chinese authors name their characters from lines in poetry.
I was wondering if you can answer a question of mine about two character given names. Does it matter how you write it in English? I found how some names are written together and sometimes separately. Is there a reason for this? Is it a middle name when written separately? For example, my username Bai Qiuyue. 秋 for autumn and 月 for moon. From what I looked up it is written as Qiuyue, but can it be written as Qiu Yue, with Bai still as the surname?
BaiQiuyue yes, depending on the style of the person who's writing/translating, they can choose to separate them or not. accurately, in chinese pinyin (which is the alphabetic way of spelling out chinese characters), the letters would be separated, so separating would be the most correct if you want to get technical. however, I personally prefer to keep the first name put together into one word because that's easier to read for non-chinese speaking individuals.
but either way, both of them make bai (in your example) the surname. it's just a stylistic choice and doesn't impact the actual contents of the name very much!
yaoyueyi I see! So the correct way is to separate the two character given names, but either way it doesn't change the structure or meaning. Thank you for clarifying that for me! :)
I actually like when it's written separated. I think it has a nice presence that way. I just wasn't sure if it changed anything. :p
I'm sorry for asking again, what do you think about 明善?
Great Expert, can you check this one for This Fish?
Wind Great Night; Feng Daye/Feng Da Ye.
The literal translation "Wind Big Night" seems kinda bad in This Fish opinion.
DaddyFishGotBigPp that's lowkey weird. I would avoid using the character "da" in any names, haha
