I use these three online resources whenever I'm hard up for names (which is usually):
27,000 Baby Names, Meanings and Origins at Baby Names World
Baby Names by Category
Search Baby Names - Baby Names Advanced Search | BabyNames.com
If you have a Yahoo signin then it takes no time at all to sign in to Yahoo Answers. Just don't go to theatre or creative writing or literature or your play will be doomed!
If you go to family:parenting: baby names you can ask for suggestions and as it is a very well attended category, you will get many, many suggestions there from people on the cusp of naming their own new human (or dog or parrot or Sims persona) and you can find in other questions all kinds of names from ethnic to pretty to supremely outlandish.
I've thought of taking up the habit of outlandish names for one's children as a topic in a play and what that may imply for the child in the future.
Elizabeth, Henry, Jack, Christine, Ella, Anne, Rebecca, Jacob, Andrew, Michael, Richard, Patrick, Steven, Marilyn, Caroline, Carol, Kim, Kenneth, Marion, Ellen, Sarah, Susanne, Timothy, Robert, Anna, Kelly, Michelle, Jason, Rachel, Lisa, Laura.

you mean like Sue, Dave, Joe, Claire? Not bland (!) but pretty normal?
