What makes a good D&D character name?

A great D&D character name is easy to say at the table, fits your race and class, and feels at home in a fantasy world (Aeldric, Lyra, Theowyn, Coranthil). For humans and half-elves, a flowing-but-grounded name works for almost any background. The name should sound good when the DM calls on you and when it's written on a character sheet for the next year of play.
