I sat down one day, MANY years ago (we're talking almost 10 years), and wrote up all of the names of all of my friends, with their first names in one column and their last names in a second column. Mix and match and you've got some reasonable names.
Of course, that goes right out the window if you're writing something that you need less-than-everyday names for, but hey, it's at least a process.
Speaking of less-than-everyday, I've found that sitting in my room and writing the words for all of the objects I see and then combining syllables can be a good start.

A lot of times I try to make the name kind of reflect the character. For Raiken, I had to think of a whole lot of things, his name had to be spacey and had to reflect part of his character, so I ended up with Harmond Raiken.

i dont know this is a little late in reply but making a femal carictor has allways seemed to be a easy. there have been some times i've chatted as a femal to some of my freinds online but they never had the slightist hint of how i weas its rather simplistick actuly just think of some 1 if ur a guy. just trie to move some of ur emotional side of yourself and trie to see it from there prospective. i might just make a storie for you to let you see how it can be with the main carictor in it........ hope to write soon.
