You can use a name generated like this one to get ideas

That one appears to be a re-release of the Daggerfall one that generated NPC names. They don't resemble the ones used in Skyrim.

Use endings of names of Bretons and add your own prefixes and vice versa. Works for me with every race.

I've had Thandril, Sydal, Randriad, Erena, Lannis, and a few others I can't remember.

I am a horrible snob and insist on using real Breton (or, at a push, Welsh) names such as these http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/breton so my new character is called Yannic. (This is actually, I suppose, fairly lore-unfriendly, because Bethesda have for some reason chosen to give their Bretons French and Irish names, but whatever. That said, if you want to be lore-friendly, there are LOADS of cool French and Irish names - I think the Irish names tend to be used by Reachmen while the French names tend to be Bretons from High Rock).

I did come across a (real) Breton name, Tanguy, which means fire-warrior, which would be pretty cool for a Destruction-focused Battlemage.

Because there are real Breton names. If you don't like them, then perhaps you're not looking for Breton names at all.

Agrane. Or Uthywyr. Seriously though, the names in that generator look like mixture of the TESI-II English derived, III-V French derived and V Gaelic derived names from across the whole series, resulting in something unlike all three. If that's not creative enough for you, then you must want a name outside of TES Breton traditions. Which could be anything else. Like Dmitchiro Giotequilescu.

I used Roderic for mine. I got it from a list of Bretons in Oblivion.
