Answer 1

Jessica, Craig, George, Sarah. IDK!!! maybe you can choose like scotland or england

Answer 2

why don't you try the name generator....you just need to type the name and click the genre and generate it...you will get the names you want  

Answer 3

http://www.behindthename.com/ You could try that site. It has quite a bit to choose from.  

Answer 4

Do research...look online.  Read mythology and folktales thats a great way to get inspiration for unique sounding names and places.  

Answer 5

Mythology is a good place to start.

Sometimes it works to take a real work like, say, "friendship" for example (maybe something that you want the name to mean) and go to the thesuarus.  A synonym is "accord."  You can play with the spelling and sound of that name, or combine it with another word, to create a completely original name.

So, let's say your character is small and happy.  A synonym for small is tiny and a synonym for happy (well, carefree) is halcyon.  You could make a whole new name by combining those words to something like Tincyon.  

Answer 6

book or web site devoted to baby names- get one.  an atlas, a world map, a world atlas, historical world map.  invaluable reference.  after you choose a place, a baby name book will tell you where each name originated and what it means there.
