Also, here is a site with lists of names male and female from 1800-1920, taken from the census, which is where I got the names above. It's really useful! :)

A good fantasy name might be Honey or Peppi. If you think of objects around you that might make a good fantasy name or surname than use them. It's loads of fun creating fantasy names like these.
