Name Generation?

As I continue to write my campaign, I seem to stumble a lot of the little details, such as NPC names. So far, I've just googled things when I needed a name generated "Gnome name generator" "halfling name generator" ect, but this has been cumbersome and in most cases yielded poor results.
Any suggestions from the experienced DM's out there as the best way to generate names? Do you keep a list of random names at the table? Any useful programs out there, or articles to read?

This thread is a good place to start.
