Where do you find names for your characters?

Does anyone else really struggle to come up with the names for their characters? I often find that I have stories in my head ready to write but spend hours trying to find the right names for the characters. I can imagine everything about them but names just escape me. Does anyone have tips on how to come up with names?

Just use my imagination. Like for the past two novels, I took the names of my two best friends and combined them.

But some sites are cool too........ :D

Don't confuse the reader by using names that look or sound similar.
