Who could possibly forget surnames. (Apart from me.) I'm gonna say that only main characters need surnames so it is less of an issue that I forgot people had more than one name.
I might just try to ignore the fact that seeing all the placeholder names makes me go crazy and try to finish the story first.
Biblical names can be a good choice, since a lot of them are old-fashioned and arent really used much anymore. For surnames there are certain words that always sound good - you could have them rooted in nature - birds, seasons, types of tree, that sort of thing.
Otherwise, find variations of common names based on meanings - not Alice as Alys, but consider the variations on the name Mary (sea of bitterness): Mariam, Miriam, Marion, Marianne... etc. Use Behind the Name to find common names and then trace their names back to their root for something archaic e.g. my name is Alice and the root to my name is Adalheidis, Rose's is Hrododeis etc.
