Writing a crime novel - Choosing characters names

Getting the right name for characters in a novel can be a tricky
business. Sometimes they come to me completely out of the blue as I am
creating a character, other times I will struggle to find the name that
best suits the character.



I have always had this thing that people should look like their names.
When someone is introduced to me I will think yes, you are a Jacqueline
or a Malcolm. Other times I will think, oh no, you're definitely a Karen
or a Wayne. And so it is with the characters I am creating. The name
has to fit. If it's not right then the character isn't right. The name
also needs to fit with the age and nationality although you can have
exceptions.



So where do I get names from?
