So, fellow writers, one of the major aspects of writing fiction are the characters, and one of the major elements of a character is (or can be) his/her name. I propose we use this thread to link to sites that can help writers decide on names for our characters.
P.S. Can this be stickied, please? I'm hoping this will serve a great deal of help for writers, and it would kind of suck if they can't find it.
EDIT: After Fisk posted her thread with that link to the Mary Sue Test, I decided to devote this thread to links to websites that could help writers with their writing.

Okay, sure. I'll sticky it. Nice find! ;)
Meanwhile, I should probably be specifying that this thread is for writers in the name. ;)
That's actually where I got my pseudoname, Fisk Meuniere. It's got a so much better ring than Haley Van ****.
Well, it's not actually a name site, but it would help writers.
RhymeZone (http://www.rhymezone.com/)
To help this get noticed (not that I'm sure who all are serious writers here), this thread is now devoted to links to any site that would help a writer with their writing.
