How do you make up names for characters

>>9528399
i visit cemeteries and copy the names of the dead

>>9528399
use common names from real life

or if you want fantasy/sci-fi names, type random keys and work from what you got
or take words form some foreign language

Look up the lists of most common first and last names and combine then at random.
