Don't know if anyone has done this yet, but here's a place for people to dump names? Just put a list of your favourite names, I guess it doesn't matter what kind (e.g. fantasy, modern, etc.) Mostly doing this because I have a hard time sometimes finding random names for background characters.
Edit: if you have a specific genre of names, it would be helpful to name them as such just at the top before you start listing names.
Umm so one of my character's was a drow bard/gunslinger traveling above ground called Landion Fregius he was raised above ground so he doesn't really have a "drowy" name
I have some female names; Skylar, Merideth, amy (the most wonderful woman in the world), Hazel, Grace, Melody, Amber, Willow, Jade, etc.
Oooh boy I got a lot
(most of these are just people I know lol)
More 'Modern' Names:
A- Alyssa, Addyson, Avery, Ashton, Ace, Alex. G- Gaten, Gavin, Grant, Gracie, Gage

Am I the only one who uses two words for a last name like Clawfighter or Hellforge for fantasy?
@Your-Humerus, I do sometimes (e.g. Oathbreaker, hammerjaw, and Mournhame) but in large doses it all just sounds the same to me.
Jennica is a personal favorite, and Simon. Also names with roots in mythology. Names of characters or historical figures I also use

(@FantaPop I see your Ymir and Yuri and I bless you. Also, "Yayoi" I'm cackling.) Also, I come across a TON of names that I really like, but have no use for them, so if you all don't mind, I'll share a few here! ^-^ (I'll probably keep adding on to this later, this is all I have for now.)
