Character Name Resources
While neck-deep in what is proving to be a difficult name search for a couple of new characters, I came across some new-to-me naming resources. Since I can't possibly be the only person who sucks at naming characters via imagination alone, I thought I'd share.


French Surnames - You might be able to find lists here for other nationalities, but I have no clue how since I found this through Google.
Baby Names World - Use the page linked to find various nationalities/origins. For more options, click the "browse by category" tab.
Onomastikon - Provides plenty of given names and a few surnames for different regions and countries.
Baby Name Train - When you choose a category, it automatically takes you to the boy names. Browse those or click "Baby Girl Names" (toward the top).
Think Baby Names (Girl) - Female names by origin.
Think Baby Names (Boy) - Male names by origin.
Baby Names and Stuff - Plenty of names, divided by categories such as origin, gender, and popularity.

Note that I used all of these sites with Firefox and NoScript. None of them required script permissions in order to function decently (though a couple appeared rather ugly as a result). Therefore, I have no clue whether invasive or unwanted advertising and/or scripts may be on these sites.
