I always end up using names from old video games like FF6 and such.

I'm still pondering about playing a gnomish barbarian named Dubya, btw.

I make up all my role playing names myself. i just think of the class, and race, and portrait, and just figure out a cool sounding name that fits it. Hell, i even thought of Arundel before i had even seen IWD (of course, my Arundel was a warrior, not a archdruid)

Edit: My friend uses the name Fippy Darkpaws (LOL) as a halfling thief, he got it from another character in dark age of camelot

Intelligification of three, right?

Jatelka: Female monk, just thought it sounded vaguely oriental and fit with the
paper doll.

Tethys: Female ranger, after the primordial ocean.

Malinde: Female fighter mage, vaguely tolkienesque (although none of those
little dotty things over the "e" sadly)!

My characters have been called
Meerkin Sirk (Warrior)
Natalie Quickspell (A mage who uses a lot of haste spells, and sequencers to make spell casting quicker)
Nathaniel Firefingers (A bard who used a lot of Burning Hands Spells)
Pellor of the Light (Neutral Good drow sorceror)
Eldori of the Dark (Neutral Evil drow sorceror, he and Pelor agrued a lot)
Elistrae Loremaster ( Lorekeeper of Oghma on IWD2. I'm quite proud of that one)
Natalie Strongbough (Ranger)
Matthias Fleetstride (Monk)
Archibald Flapjack (Don't ask)
Chris Stringpluck (Bard)

To make up your own I'd suggest one of two methods;
1. Think about the character. Any aspects that jump out at you about how you intend to play him/her. If there is any spell that they tend to use over another consistently try bring that in, eg Sessifelts the Wilter (Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting). Or a weapon; if a character starts out hghly proficient in bows, try Fletcher
as a surname. Fletcher is a name that tends to belong to families that have been involved with the construction of arrows for many generations.

2. Take an existing name or word and change the letters around, or extend it in some way. eg Alex becomes Alexander, becomes xelander. Seven becomes Sevan, Sever or Vesen.
