How to come up with character names + 100 names

it can be very hard to come up with names for your book characters, i spend hours per name trying to find the right name on baby name sites and generators. so i have come up with a quick list of ways to come up with character names as well as well as listed 50 female and 50 male names (and names that can be used for both) remember you can always mix names together to make new names altogether 

1. try to avoid using names starting with the same letter to ease confusion
2. look through baby name websites 
3. search for a name relating to your characters traits and country of origin
4. consider the era your character lives in. you wouldn't find the name apple over in France in the 1600s but you might have found someone with the name Nicolas

now that you have that to consider i will go onto my list of 50 female names and 50 males names, some can be used for both genders.
