Are you stuck trying to figure out characters’ names? Trying to make your characters’ names stand out just a little bit?
Look no further than referencing a book full of baby names or websites dedicated to names!
For those who are based in the U.S., the U.S. Social Security Administration has a website dedicated to baby names (https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/). You can look up names by popularity, popularity by year, by U.S. region, by birth year, and by decade.
If the country you or your story is based in has a government or dedicated websites to baby names, that can work as well. (I can’t help in this arena because I’m terrible with Google searches for foreign websites 
)
If anybody knows of government or dedicated websites to international names, please post it in the thread so others can look it up for research.
