A great site for names is language is a virus. There's a huge database of names and a generator. I almost always go there when I need names for my characters.
for a boy? is he formal-like or maybe rough and edgy?
for a more breathtaking sort of boy you'd want something very formal, like William or Phillip.
If your going for something more... kinda rough like the guy who gets into trouble, go with something shorter, blunt like the character, like matt or jake.
for girls, well girls are a tough one. you dont want to use one to normal that everyone always hears, cause someone will ultimately put the book down a lot of the time if the name is too overused. i know thats sounds weird but its really a subconcious thing.
like maybe use something pretty like Miya, or Reina. If your going to use one the everyone would know, try something classic, like emily (my personal favourite) or elizabeth. maybe even carrie.
it also depends on your preference. the name has to suit the character. think of it like naming your children. you would give them no other name but that and im sure you'll soon realize what you'll like.
Suppose for a moment that the heart has two heads, that the heart has been chained and dunked in a glass booth filled with river water. The heart is monologuing about hesitation and fulfillment while behind the red brocade the heart is drowning. - R.S
