Another idea for character names (since this seems to be a "hot topic" lately) is to name them after stars. ("Twinkle Twinkle", not "Hollywood"). Here are some star names you may want to use for some characters:
Betelgeuse
Rigel
Mintaka
Alpheratz
Sirius
Mira
Capella
Procyon
Castor
Pollux
Canopus
Algol
Regulus
Denebola
Pleiades
Polaris
Arcturus
Spica
Centauri
Antares
Vega
Altair
Fomalhaut
Deneb
Aldebaron
Saiph
Zubenelgenubi
Adhara
Achernar
Vindemiatrix
Unukalhai
Thuban
Tarazed
Shedir
Shaula
Markab
Dubhe
Hadar
Cor Caroli
Bellatrix
Albireo
Rasalhague
Sadalmelik
Becrux
Grafias
Pleione
Sterope
Gomeisa
Nusaka
Arrakis
Auva
Murzim
Zosma
Zuben Elakrab (sounds like a good Wizard name!)
Talitha
Lesath
Izar
Alula
Maia
A lot of these sound Arabic, because it was the ancient Arabian and Saracen astrologers who named them; others are Graeco-Roman. However, it should give you a start to think about some names if you're having trouble naming characters.
-Sazerac (which almost sounds like one of those stars!)
