best way to come up with character names?

[Club_Soda]

I'd try babynames.com or babynameguide.com. I always use these sites to find character names. Nameberry.com might work as well.

I like that method. You can see the meaning of the name and try to match the name's meaning to the character's personality.

Similar to the above: look up most popular girl/boy names by appropriate year of birth and country. Pick the ones that jump at you.
