If people want to start gathering names for incidental characters, but can't think of enough middle class American/ancient greek/sixteenth century irish/whatever names, they can post here for suggestions.

For example, if anyone would like to help my extreme name-related incompetence, what is the most classic ninteenth-century-esque English uppercrust name you can think of? (first, last, both, whatever) I'd be immensely grateful for anything you can think up, as I try to pick names to really fit certain characters.
