What's in a name?

Often tempted to give difficult to pronounce names with deep meaning providing a name for my characters is time-consuming to veer from Character 1/A and so on. To this point I start this point to discuss names -- male versus female, historical, biblical, non-western cultural, or just made up using Scrabble pieces.

Here's an Ask.com question about character names, the 'conversation' is interesting since many of the names seem to bring up emotions and can be based upon looks.

I've created a google.doc spreadsheet for us to add names, meanings, even preferred intended sex of character.

I figured we could add links to websites for name generating, meanings, and so on and so forth -- here and in the document.
