Billions and Billions of Names: Generated for You

"The Name Generator"

The site claims: "Our name generator can spit out over 463 billion different first and last name combinations."

"How It Works" gives you a 404 error message, which wasn't too promising.
("Not Found
"The requested URL /howItWorks.php was not found on this server.
"Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.")

The tags are a bit fun, and the generator works. Not, perhaps, humanity's greatest achievement: but I can think of worse ways to spend a couple of minutes.

With a little patience, and quite a lot of luck, this could be a resource for writers seeking character names.
