It's me, I'm the one going "does classical Chinese work like that?"

(I'm starting to suspect that 之 works differently in Mandarin than it does in literary Chinese)

We got to the name 安之 Anzhi in LoF, and now the crew is wondering how to parse names with 之 in that second position in names.

Other examples:
引之 Yinzhi
青之 Qingzhi
儒之 Ruzhi

But we're not sure how to describe these names. Would they translate like Peaceful, Leaderlike, Youthful, Scholarly?
