I find much easier to first imagine the character, see it wading through the planned story-line, get emotionally involved with its (mis)adventures, then I can think a name that matches that stronger image of the character I've built.

If you don't really feel your character alive, it really doesn't call for a proper name (yet).
Also it may be easier, for supporting or eventual characters to just give any name, and rename it later, when it gains truer life in your imagination.
