Also, as temeraire mentioned, Iain [M] Banks has some pretty good names, especially for spaceships in his Culture novels. Examples include Very Little Gravitas Indeed and Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement.

I like that the older beings in Malazan have varying names (e.g. Anomandaris Purake). *NM*

A Song of Ice and Fire tends to have good names. Grounded, but just exotic enough. *NM*

I don't know who has the best names overall, but I'll always love the name Bellatrix Lestrange.
