Finding a proper name can be difficult but it's important to choose one that fits the time period. Here is a portal to various sites that list names fit for a Renaissance Character (listed by ethnicity):
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember that middle names had not yet come into fashion yet with the small exception of some French nobility. The average member should not apply with a middle name.
What are all of these numbers listed next to the names?: Some of the sites listed have "frequency" numbers, to show how many times that name was mentioned in their source. It generally helps to show how common the name was. Obviously common names are more realistic but any name on those lists will be accepted.
