How to choose a name for a character in a book?

How do you choose a name for a character in a novel? It might sound like a trivial decision, but it really isn’t at all. Each name usually shouldn’t be similar to another character in that book (or to a well-known character in another book), and it often can’t be too long (and confusing). At the same time, a book can’t have too many characters who all have short names, either. With all these restrictions and limitations, where can you go hunting for a list of names?
