Listen to the man, after playing my ranger for 2 years, i decided that the name wasnt me at all, and so i deleted it. So make sure the name is something you like, and not "I pew pew bad guyz"

Here's two for you:

I is stupidz

Wammo with no Brain

Honestly, you can find SOMETHING by yourself, pick a theme for all your characters, then stick with that, that's what I do. (My theme is fallen angels/Kthulhu Methos gods)

I'm with the op here I can never easily decide on a name for a character, sadly cannot give you names not already in the game as you can never tell till you try to pick it.

So I use either my favourite fantasy fiction - prob is other fans do the same or a name generator.

Here are a few try them out and see what you get.

http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index-name.php

http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/

http://lowchensaustralia.com/names/fantasylinks.htm

Want more just search for Fantasy name generators.

You can also find Japanese and Chinese name generators and probably others.
I have used these and name lists to get Tibetan and Norse names

this. Most of my character names are inspired by other games and movies i enjoy.

Like Star Trek? call yourself Picard Swordswinger or Kirk Ironhelm
Like Greek mythology? how about Pandora the Hopeful or Cronus the Mighty?

Be creative, its not really that hard. It's fun trying to find a name that pays homage to Star Wars but sounds like what a Dervish would be called (hence my Derv's name of Bralor Scythemaster)

i'd take a name and then an adjective after it
like my ele Alastor The Undead
so take something like *** The Noble or something
or William The Brave cuz it reminds me of Braveheart (William is the real man that Braveheart is based on)

Those names are all looking for a ban.

Imo translate something cool from another language.

My warrior Calach Shaltek is a battle cry from my favourite TV show meaning Victory or Death.

What I usually do is pick a theme and a nationality for my character. If you're picking the white Prophecies warrior, consider British, German, or Scandiavian. If you're making a Nightfall character, consider Egyptian, Arabic, or African.

Once you have a nationality, googling "______ male/female names", ____ being your nationality. More often than not there's going to be a list of names for that nationality. For example, "German male names" gets you:

http://www.20000-names.com/male_german_names.htm

Once you pick a name (either based on sound or meaning), you can google the same for a surname.

This is, of course, only one approach. However, I like my characters to have names that are actual names in other nationalities; whether you do as well is up to you.

Avatar of Wu Di ---> Wu Di is an ancient Chinese emperor title meaning Warlord Emperor

I Defy Pain(add Xx _____ Xx if name already taken)

Mending Frenzy Heal Sig (this has GOT to be taken haha...)

Napoleon Bonaparte II

Hope this is more helpful than the rather sarcastic other posts...unless you want to get banned for names like Rumple Foreskin

Some good ideas there and I used some of them myself.

From fiction came 3 characters
Lobsang Dibbler
Vorbis Secundus
Havelock Vetinari

Called my Dervish muerte encarnado "Death Incarnate" well maybe its correct I don't speak spanish.

Female Paragon name came from Norse Mythology named after a Valkyrie.
Sigrun Elonadis "Sigrun priestess/goddess of Elona" loose translation.

Used baby name lists for 2 more, Tibetan names for my Monk and Japanese for my Assassin.

Inspiration for names is easy to find.
