There is a great great great resource for naming characters. It is a [random name generator](http://www.behindthename.com/random/) you can choose the influences and the origin of the name and each name has a meaning when it is generated. A real meaning. All names come from most of the cultures that inhabit our dear planet. On the same page you can search for names according to meaning and/or sex. Another technique for inventing names is just cutting a word you see in half, example: I just saw the word **community** so I cut it to the piece I like the most like Munity or ity. Then I take another word I see, for instance **answer** , and cut it, ans or wer or we. Then I produce the name, result: **Itywé** you can always put an accent to make it fancy. But as everything don't abuse it.
