What are some good names for characters in a children's fantasy story??

I'm really creative at everything BUT names!!! And I only need serious answers, please.

What are some good names for characters in a children's fantasy story??
You should choose names based on the culture of the story, or of the culture of the character's parents.





For example, if this is a "Harry Potter" clone, you would want names that sound British.





If sourced on Greek mythology, you might want characters with Greek sounding names.





If modern American, you will want to create backgrounds for all the characters and choose names for them based on this.





Names can be added *last*. They are one of the least important aspects of your story, and should not delay your writing at all.
