A list of every name ever used in anime would be tens of thousands of names long. No one can give you such a list because no such list exists. And yes, of course there have been many names that have been used twice, three times, four times...a dozen times. There are thousands of anime and tens of thousands of characters. Obliviously there have been many repeated names!
There are not special "anime names." 95% of anime characters have ordinary Japanese names, so it sounds like you're basically just looking for Japanese names. Your best bet would be to simply look at Japanese names and pick ones you like the sound of, or ones that have meaning that suit your characters. Just search "Japanese names" or Japanese baby names" on any search engine, and you'll come up with dozens of pages like these:
One of my favorite anime character names: Mugen from Samurai Champloo Favorite Japanese name:Susumu Hirasawa! He's my favorite techno musician (artist, singer, I don't know what exactly to call him) I'm not Japanese so I'm not very familiar with many Japanese names.
