Oh awesome. Nice one. I pick them pretty much at random (sometimes use a phonebook or pick from listed film crewmembers on IMDB). But I do try for there to be some meaning behind.
I will be trying these in future.

behindthename.com is organized a little better, but first site has a wider array of "non-traditional" names.

I've been using behindthename.com for years! I think it's very good. I'm frequently found scavenging Iranian, Indian, Arabic and Slavic names there!

This doesn't quite fit into the same category, but if you've got a title and want to know if it will help your future book become a bestseller then give it a shot: Lulu TitlescorerIt claims to be "scientific", but I doubt that. I apparently pick some really crappy titles (save for one, "Twitch") though.

A friend of mine gave me this idea for names, and it's incredibly simple.
You know how your spam box gets filled with unusual names? Yeah, take a good look in there the next time you get stumped for names and see if you can't find any worth "borrowing" for a good cause. Those Nigerian scammers come up with some darn good ones!
Spam: it's not just a scary wannabe meat product anymore.

Sacrilege, you have found a practical use for spam. Everyone knows that spam is useful only as fallout shelter "food" and giving a purpose to the delete key on your keyboard.
