Good sites to look for names for anyone:
All sorts of names here! Most of them are ones you've probably never heard of.
Despite the name of the site, there are some pretty good names here for all ages.

Very nice! Another website I'd suggest adding to the recommended sites list is the baby name section on Babble.com. I use it to name literally all my characters (heck, I got the name "Celeste" from the site!).

Edit: Added a punctuation mark to change the mood of the sentence

Thank you.

well
her full name is Solar Stardust Cipherina Sunshine, but that's besides the point

I copy pasted these. I guess the sun is a masculine object in other languages (which explains why it has an o) which is what makes it a male name.
Not all male names have o's. Some havr a's. It's...confusing.
