I often use names, I used before in pen & paper games.
My first character, a halfling lore bard, was called Mirabelle Layne, after my gnome artificer.
My first Durge, a Seldarine drow rogue/sword bard, is called Suri Mena, after a Star Wars character of mine, who was a rogue and smuggler and became a jedi later (I found it fitting, since Suri is resisting and already had her great moment in act 3 and can now basically become a jedi)
My gith mage Tav is called Liral - there I researched a bit, since I'm not familiar with gith and Liral was a name, I found somewhere online and I liked it.
My tiefling Durge, a storm sorceress, is called Eleni, which is greek and means sun ray. I thought, that she tries to cling to her sanity with positive thoughts and found that name kind of fitting.
And my gnome Durge, a rogue/dragonborn sorceress, is called Lavinia Foxglove - she is a forest gnome and I like that name for a forest gnome - and then I remembered the background of the Durge and thought, that someone had a sense of humour naming her that, because
she probably has never lived in a gnome settlement. As I understand, Durge was born into the Bhaal 'community' , being a Bhaal essence
(people, who haven't finished Durge playthrough - don't read)

And then I made another DnD character of mine, I'm currently playing in a campaign: Liya Tana, a wood half elf lore bard/archfey warlock (pact of the Chain - I will need the pseudodragon mod for that, since she has a pseudodragon as familiar, her patron is also a good entity)

Inspiration fo my names, I often get online, from books or just making them up on the go.
