Probably where I got the name from. Most of my character names are derived from matching up first and last names in current Indian newspapers.

That's a good thing to do. I think that there are quite a few names available from Indian sport teams which you can use for characters for Wesworld India.

I have to come up with completely fictional names! The Horror!!!

You could try look for some fantasy name generator for the odd names on the internet...
