A name should fit the character and I have two methods - one is to remember my school friend names and switch first and last names around and the second is to look in a telephone directory. You are right when it comes to looking at names that were popular when your character was born - that is so important and it refreshing to find someone who realises that. I went to school during the war years so most of my names stem from the 1940's as many of them are still popular today. Good luck with your writing.
