i'm christian. can i answer anyway? i always liked the names of old norse gods/ heroes. gunther, freija, wodan... they just sound tough. LOL. then again, i'm probably a bit biased, since i come from a very very german american family. try looking at a book of names for babies. if the description doesn't specifically say that the name came from one of the abrahamic faiths, it most likely came from paganism. celtic, bretonic, and germanic names in particular are usually pagan in origin. a lot of christians around the world have pagan names and aren't even aware of it.
best wishes,
andrew (a hebrew name, meaning ''strong and manly'' LOL)

Try your actual name. I know Pagans named Sarah, Suzanne, Ted, Benjamin, Mike, Ann, Zoe, Victory, and Dennis (just to name a few)
You don't need to have a "special" name to be a Pagan although some people do have "religious" names, this is not a solely Pagan tradition..... Just look at the Popes for an example of that. The late Pope John Paul II was originally named Carol (Polish for Charles).....

As stated before, your birth name is a good start. However, if you are intent on finding a new spiritual name you could start with a vision quest/meditation. Basically, go to your patron deity or pantheon and ask them to tell you what they'd like to call you or what they call your soul. Another way is to find a name that suits you on a baby naming site or book. Or you could come up with one and use Numerology to make it more suitable to your purposes.
BTW, you didn't say if it was for you, your child, or your pet.

My pagan friends are named Mark, Michelle, Jim, and Chris.
What are you trying for? Hippie names? Goddess names? Nature names?

I have to agree with what everyone else has stated - stick with your own name, you were given it for a Divine reason, I assure you.
However, Pagan names can be useful and inspiring in private practice. I myself have one, but only use it in ritual and have never told anyone else of it.
This website may be useful in selecting one. http://www.pythorium.com/?q=node/383

What's wrong with your OWN name? I find "pagan" names largely laughable. No wonder paganism can't get any respect.

For what? Yourself, a child, an animal?
My cats are Artemis and Demeter.
Isis, Cybele and Ceridewn are all nice.
