I use these when I come up with names for characters I play in the RPG section of this site. Here ya go:

A huge list of names. They're divided alphabetically by gender. This is basically just a huge compilation of names.

A much smaller list of girl's names. The names here are names commonly found throughout Japan today. Read the first couple of paragraphs, it explains all of it.

A much smaller list of boy's names. This is also a list of the names commonly found throughout Japan today.

So if its school... I dont really have any idea.
Maybe for the main girl- Kae, Kaiya, Maiko or takako
For friend girl- Aiko, Keiko, or Shina
is the other girl mean-ish??
boyfriend of main character's friend- Hiroshi, Yasashiku, Kazuo

Thats all i can come up with right now..

Oh ok... lemme think.

Leiko- means arrogant... which might be fitting. Or yumi maybe... I dunno.. I'm just suggesting stuff.
