What I've been doing lately is finding words with prefixes that match some of my toon's powers.
For example, if you are making a fire blaster you can search for words that start with "pyro" or "thermo." Then you just pick one you like or tweak some of the words so they sound more like a name.

This has been a "problem" for a while.
Runs from 1:20 to 1:55 in Your Superpowers and You (broadband version).

Yes.

Picked up the name Incorruptible yesterday, which is pretty decent in my opinion.

As someone with a bit of alt-itis I am making new toons fairly often. Rarely have I had issues coming up with a name, but that's typically if I'm not thinking outside the box.
Recent names for me:
Archemede's Law (SD/ELM)
Tonnage (SD/DM)
Project Questor (WP/ELM)
Comrade Polar Bear (INV/DM)
Names within the last year or so include: Murphie's Law (AR/Devices blaster) Frostikins (ice/kin troller), and Ko Tsuraro(ice/ice blaster), Lil Green Apples (rad/rad corruptor), Poignant (Archer/Dev. blaster) Sledgehammer Sal (WM/WP Brute), and Deep Gouge (Ice/WM tank)
If I'm making a controller the name is usually based off my global and original controller, Rangle M. Down(grav/storm) but not always.
Examples: Taek M. Down(ill/ff), Rock M. Down II(earth/rad), B'low M. Down(Ice/Storm) and Dr. Phylum Down (Plant/Thermal) None of these are recent characters, but give an example of how I leveraged my global into more character names.
My main tank is Ko Oni II (Fire/fire) as the original Ko Oni is a fire/fire blaster on a different server. Even though I could have used the name Ko Oni on both servers I opted for the "II" appellation to keep them separate in my mind.
So yes, there are names left, but I'm working on taking as many as I can... er uhm. nvm.

Just made a toon named "the Lady in Mourning" on Freedom yesterday.
Pretty sure it will be available somewhere else, other than Virtue (it's an RPers dream name)
There seem to be a few decent names left laying about 
I think, to answer the OP's question... nope, no names left at ALL. Every name from AAAAAAAAAAAA to Z.Z9999Z is taken.
Sorry, you can't make any more characters.
Altitis struck again. Made myself a new Arachnos Soldier: His name is Hanansi. It's an acceptable variation of the name Anansi, who is an important character in West African and Caribbean Mythology. The name Anansi comes from the Akan language and means "spider".
(and yes, Anansi was taken but I'd expected it to have been already grabbed)
