naming challenge

Working on a newish story and I'm stuck on what to name a principal character. He's a doctor, a scientist, but also seen as a romantic rival for our narrator. We never can quite pin down whether he's a good guy or not.

I'm thrown because most of my characters are so concrete to me that I know  their names.  Even if the names change over the course of drafts, they are the right and only names at the time.

So, what to name him?
Suggestions?
How do you name your characters?
