Writers agonise over a first name for an hour and then hit the surname and go blank, which is how half of fiction ends up populated by people called Smith and Jones. Draw one and commit before you have time to overthink it. The name will fit within two chapters because names mostly fit whatever they are attached to. Fifty surnames of varied origin and register, from the plain to the faintly grand. Worldbuilders can draw two and use the pairing as a family feud.
