I found a million great ideas for names in my SAT prep book. They put some very curious words in there:
maudlin -- which could easily, and probably will be, converted into Maudelyn
scintilla -- an word which sounds like some sort of evil vegetation to me
legerdemain -- since many of my characters are court jesters, and this word means "sleight of hand," I may very well make it a last name, LeGerdemain.
I also came across the name Quigley in there, which I immediately loved, so much so that I had to create a character for it. He's a little juggler who's very mischievous.
