5. Mom Junction: Baby Names
I particular search for names that have a specific meanings that fit the role/ purpose behind a character.
There are many other websites like this and I encourage everyone to look around! It's also best to do a general google search of a name's meaning to ensure it is accurate. It is also important to recognize that a names have cultural implications/nuances, so do your research using credible sources!
