If this is an issue I would choose names of fictional characters from works
that are in the public domain. I sometimes use characters from George
Eliot's "Silas Marner," my revenge upon the most boring book I ever had to
read in school.
If there aren't enough names in that book, I can also recommend Thomas
Hardy's "The Return of the Native," which has an even larger cast of wholly
uninspiring characters.
