When it comes to names, I either make up names or take japanese words. Two examples are: In one story I made up I named the main character Vereni Stycul. It doesn't mean anything; It's like a random word. And then in another story, Many of my characters were named after the color they were based on, like how the Red character was named "Akai," which is japanese for "Red."
As for last names, I do the same; either make it up or go to japanese words. I always make some connection to the character when choosing the name, such as the colors I mentioned, what the character likes, what position they play in the story, etc. (You can choose another language, like french or spanish)
You can also mix up the letters of a word and remove or add letters to make it into a name. Like let's suppose the character likes flowers:
Flower
Rewol F.
(Okay, so it's just "Flower" backwards...)
Hope I helped.
