Names can also make or break the flow of a script. When selecting multiple character names, vary the cadence. Don't have all one-syllable names: Sue, Ann, and Kim. Also, don't confuse your audience by using multiple names that start with the same sound: Joe, John, and Jeff. Each of your characters is unique and should have names that reflect that. The one exception is when you have characters that are meant to be similar..."This is my brother Darryl, and my other brother Darryl..."
A woman born in 1950 might be named Barbara, Donna or Shirley, but certainly not Taylor, Madison, or Brooklyn. When naming characters, I like to do a little research. A character's name should reflect the decade in which they were born. Google baby name websites to get inspired. They will typically list the top names for that year and may even be able to break it down geographically to show trends for certain areas. Common names on the East Coast may differ from common names in the South.
When naming screen characters, forget Juliet. The chick doesn't know what she's talking about.

In one book I read, the two female characters were Jane and Joan. It was confusing as we often skim a bit when we read.
