I see three kinds of names in GW:
1. Names that are used to show how 1337 the users are (and generally are letterspaced and one word)
2. Names that are ripoffs/soundalikes (including rude words, short quotes, and Legolas/Drizzzzt/Aragorn/whatever)
3. Names that are roleplay and apparently have some further meaning with the user.
I usually go with #3 and use a combination of Google/babelfish and www.20000-names.com to make mine.
In your case, I'd look up "shadow" in other languages, see what you like, then pick a first name from 20k names that matches the feel. You might be pleased with the results.
Here's an example:
Shadow in Portugese is "sombra"
A decent boy's name in Portugese is Justino (meaning upright; righteous - perfect for a R/Mo).
Justino Sombra
Don't like it? Rinse, repeat. At least it will be unique.

Not all non-serious names are meant to be 1337 or deragitory/plagorized (if you can apply plagorism here)

In terms of finding a name I always find the latin names for animals useful e.g. my new ele Tobianus Carr comes from Ammodytes tobianus, the small sandeel which I have just finished my MSc research project on. Finding names that are good for you can come anywhere and any part of your life, you dont need good imagination, just use something that sounds cool to you

Thinking about names is very hard. I haven't been thinking about names for years though, I've had Maxiemonster since I was about 6 (Yep, even in Diablo 1 I had this name), and even though I think it's childish now (which it is, it's actually from a book called 'Max and the Maximonsters', which is a book ful of pictures), it's more likely tradition, and it's pretty cool to get messages like 'Hey, didn't you play Diablo 2?' (yep, happend 2 times already, damn I'm famous!).

I keep going back to latin... then pick a name which would be appropriate for the profession of the char... needless to say, calling your warrior Nex Violentus has created an interesting problem when you translate Nex as 'violent death' and Violentus as 'violent' and then realise a warrior doesn't exactly do that much damage....
But yeah, for names, latin is great because no-one actually speaks it

I wasn't serious about the Legolas thing...
And I just found out there already is someone with the name "Mimi"... And I thought I was original... And yet Mimi is the best name ever! To bad there is no cat race... Well I'll just go play WoW then .
Back on topic: Don't take latin words. I hate Latin. It's sooo boring. Use ancient Greece (spelling). It sounds better and noone speaks that to.
