I usually just go to Nameberry and look at random lists. There are a ton there, and I always find a few names that I like. I also like to check out the forums there, for some inspiration from other users.

Mostly through TV and movies honestly.
Piper, Juno, Lux, Willa, Americus, Toula, Cassidy, Arizona, Peter, Wyatt, Potter (but not Harry Potter), Constantine, Gideon, Jonas (also a book), Horatio, etc are all names I've got from movies or TV.
There's a couple I've got through youtube or books (reading, not name books) or people I've come across/interacted with in person or through instagram.

Sometimes playing the games on here helps. Sometimes the lists make things limited and names start to grow on me.

I have old baby name books from when my mom was pregnant with my sister (who is 12) so I've gone through those a couple times for new inspiration.

Other than this site, nameberry or behindthename is what I use.

Yes, looking through name lists on various sites and watching YouTube videos--there are lots of those with mom's or girls sharing names they love.
