 * A French man in an alternate dimension that have elements of Japan/Japanese fantasy. Note taken.
 * At this point, I believe that "盗まれた剣" works just fine. You would have to describe the details of its background though.
 * 我 here is used as "ware" instead of what I assume is "waga" which is used by Hakumen interchangeably.
 * I would believe that "精神" works just fine, but if you want to go for entity over the mind, "霊" should work. Using it twice in a single title would be... not as desirable.
 * Got it. I'll list out which names are under the given categories.
 * Good:
 * 凛 (Rin): You are correct about the family names only belonging to the higher class pre-Meiji.
 * 純一 (Jun'ichi)
 * 法昭 (Noriaki)
 * 八輔 (Yasuke): So likely the eight son? Hmmm...
 * 宗二/宗次 (Souji)
 * Understandable yet Acceptable:
 * 善意 (Yoi/Zen'i)
 * 旭 (Kyoku): Usually read as "Asahi," so I believe it could work as "Kyoku," another name I have heard of (rarely) before.
 * 優運 (Yu'un): The apostrophe is important only when you are distinguishing which part of the term belongs to which character, and when you have an "n" (ん) before a vowel, since there is a difference between "Ken'i" and "ke'ni". As for shortening it to "Yun," I'm not fond of doing that as it means you remove an extra "u" or "o" just because one wants to simplify the writing.
 * 痛 (Itami): Not using the "okurigana" (送りがな; not called "kana") is acceptable. If it's a codename, more so forgivable as a name.
 * 明日香 (Asuka): I do agree that in some cases, this name sounds more contemporary, but I believe it's acceptable to be used.
 * 咲希/咲 (Saki): Can go with adding the extra character, but can be a standalone.
 * 二意 (Nii): Unusual, but I believe it can pass.
 * 寿魔 (Juuma): He's lawless, so who cares about my thoughts?
 * 映/昭 (Akira): There are many ways this name can be written in characters...
 * 直二/直治 (Naoji): This name can also go many ways with the "ji" part...
 * 発火 (Hakka): For sure can work as a codename. It's a possible surname, but maybe not in the Meiji era?
 * Needs a change; otherwise not good:
 * 幻海 (Genkai): Try something similar, as this name for sure is abnormal. Changing it to simply "Genki" (元気) may work, but your choice.
 * 李彩 (Risa): For sure very modern; the characters are rather medieval, but Risa as a name is influenced by foreign names (Lisa).
 * 男三 (Osan): Needs a change; when using numbers, they usually are the prefix and indicate birth order. There are many suffixes to company such names. Plus, his name sounds similar to "おっさん" (old man).
 * 雲里 (Kumori): This starts to enter the anime-zone (if the other names haven't already)as I too am a bit confused if this is acceptable or not. My intuition leans towards the latter, so think about changing it to something else.
 * 八界 (Yakai): doesn't sound like a plausible name, but changing it around may make it sound better.
 * 五欄輔 (Goransuke): My expression when I saw this: =m=). This name needs a bit of a change to be viable, such as "Gonsuke" (権助) or "Gorosuke" (語路助).
 * Into the scrap-bucket you go:
 * 士日 (Shini)
 * 望木 (Bouki): Especially for a female character, I do not believe this is much of a suitable name.
 * 樹里 (Juri): you already have one contemporary name. Let's not get used to using them.
 * Ryouma (両馬； 龍馬 is another reading) is supposed to be an example of names using archaic characters. 阿倍野小路 (abenokouji) is a family name.
 * As mentioned before, it may sound clumsy to you, but to me, it sounds alright.
 * It's either "Zen'i" or "Yoshii" (forgot to say that it is a plausible name). I will say "Zen'i" sounds more profound for someone who may be a protagonist.

I will only treat you as a person, like I would myself. I would never think of treating you like a vagabond.
