Names names names!
I HATE coming up with names. HATE it. I don't know why, but I have the damndest time doing it. And when you're working on a fic with about a MILLION incidental OCs, it's a full-fledged pain in the ass.
To that end:
A big damn list of English surnames put together by Chris Laning.
A big damn list of English given names. also put together by Chris Laning.
Wikipedia's entry on generic forms in British placenames. Take a surname, add one of these prefixes or suffixes, and TA-DAAAH! InstaPlacename.
