Names for my story characters? Male and Female...?
I'm writing a murder mystery and I need names (I'm not very creative when it comes to names).
A list of characters:
Main officer (male)
Officers partner (female)
Victim 1
Victim 2
Victim 3
Victim 4
False Suspect 1
False Suspect 2
Actual Killer
Victim's Families
Other Officers (Male and Female)
Witnesses (maybe 10 different names?)
People That Worked With The Victims
I really suck at making up names, whenever I make up my own names, I find they all sound the same.
(I want them to be realistic names because this is a realistic story.)
Thanks :)
Ok I forgot to add a description of the story.
It is set in present day New York (I think, I might change the city but it is set in the present) The first victim is found in a subway station pinned in one of the turnstiles. That is all I have so far basically. But the baseline of the story is the main officer is trying to find a killer who kidnaps and mutilates his victims (who are all women who represent a woman who used to be in his life, I am not sure if it is going to be an ex-wife or what by the way). The main officers assistant is a very feminist type who can't stand to see women be abused.

Well, a few off the top of my head: Hank, Selena, Matt, Aireanna, John, Katelyn, Vic, Marilyn, Justin, Greg, Taylor, Dakota, Mariah, Lisa, Melissa, Claire, Nathan, Stephen, Alicia, Miranda, Kimberly, Stephenie, Tara, Lindsey, Bridget, Beth, Scott, Meera, Madisyn. What helps me to differentiate is to work on a bit of character development. As cheesy as it sounds, I write questions and answer them as one of my characters would. Sometimes I sketch how I imagine them and make a few tweaks. I also list personality traits. They are surprisingly helpful to look back on when I get stuck :)

... Some of the names should be original and some common. It doesn;t make sense if they are all rare or common.
