Making a manga and I can't come up with any good awesome Japanese names, there are 4 guys and 8 girls that are main characters here.

You can combine different Japanese words to create a name. That's how you can make great unique names. The name could be based on the characteristics of that character or what the character is associated with. For example, if the person worked as a fisherman, his/her name could have something to do with the water or creatures of the sea

Ex: Mizu = Water
Suna = Sand
Tako = Octopus
Shima = Island

Name: Mizusuna Takoshima

Hope this helps!
