I tend to use the names of historical astronemers/mathmeticians/scientists/inventors, the association of the name with someone who in our own past was recognized as brilliant seems to give the character an air of being as smart as that 18+ on the character sheet would indicate. I also use math/science terms. With that in mind here are a few I have used
Avogadgro
Bezier
Cantor
Cassini
Coulomb
Foucault
Kepler
Landau
Mandelbrot
Mobius
Tesla - but only if none of the players know who the band is
Tesserac
Venn

The Kalevala is a great reference for names. The names are all a bit exotic, yet beautiful (if you're not a native Suomi speaker, then they're less exotic).
Or you can also pull names out of the Finnish version of the Kalevala.

Adopted names are good. Exalted style naming is one such way to go for wizards - depends on the style of your cultures, but all have appropriate naming conventions for the powerful that are not actually common names. You can plunder the Enclave setting for the names of Ammander sages - who are, more or less, maybe, somewhat the wizards in residence there. Some examples:
The Awl
The Cursed
The Denier
The Ebon
The Eel
The Expected Smile
The Furrow
The Locked Heart
The Marked
The Silent
The Sunlit
The Twice-Folded Scroll
