Even better than Phone Books is http://www.20000-names.com .  It has names seperated by origin and sex.  All you could really dream of, and unlike some of the custom names people make up, all of these sound like real names because they are!

Boy and I thought my way was good. When I need a name I just flip my European History book open to a random page and run my finger along till I find a name I like. The only real problem is ending up with dwarves named Wilhelm...

Or you can use my old favorite method of random name generation. Supplies are a d20 and a d6... d20 is for consonants and d6 for vowels (count 'Y' as a vowel for this). Decide if you want to start with a vowel or a consonant or a vowel, roll the appropriate die and go from there.

Methods like this result in fun characters like Munvasp Iwwe, my old half-orc cleric/assassin... ahh, the memories....

That must have been what happened when they went looking for names of Dwarves in Warhammer

My method did come up with one great name, one of my favorite characters was an elf by the name of Julian Siyanodel. I grabbed the last name from the PHB, but the first, obviously, came from the chapter on the Roman Empire.
