I've also done the Latin thing (Latin names just sound good, IMO), and worked with some other name lists for other cultures; Wikipedia actually has some pretty good articles on names that include sample names from a given culture.

Now you mention it ref: Latin Names. Maybe they are just "sound good" think thats why I went for it.
I like your idea: 'I'll take the list of attendees and start rearranging letters and syllables' - might try that, I always seem to come up with names begining with the same letter which always seems to b 'J'
