Most of the time I name my characters according to something that defines them. Of course, that's mostly because of what kind of characters I have:

-Ponies are always named after their unique abilities and traits (sees Blue Ocean) Well, almost always...

-Superpowered Teens are usually named after the kind of power they have, such as Electra, Scorch, Blade, etc...

-Sea Creatures... I almost always name them according to their species: Gary Guppy, Blowy, Starry, Coconut Crab, Captain Red Shell, King Squidmir, etc.

One method of naming I've always liked is basically using google translator. Think of some kind of language you'd like your character's name to be in, such as french, italian, latin, japanese or any other language you can think of. Then simply choose a word that has something to do with your character, and see what the translation is in that language. You can find some really interesting names this way. For example, Huoshan is a fire ninja character I made. His name literally means "Fire Mountain" in chinese.
