Orc:

- Orc names tend start with constants such "M" "K" etc. - Mankrik, Thrall etc.

Tauren:

- For Tauren look at American Indian names, in particular Plains tribes like the Cheyenne, Lakota, etc.

Troll:
Gajam
Gajabular
Kaba'zua

- Names that start with G, and Z are popular for Trolls: Zul'jin, Zalazane

Undead:
Sekrados
Desmoras
Norinas

-Undead can use Human type names as they were once human (or some cases High Elven names)

Draenei:
Apolon

Human:
Lechdan

Easy way to generate human names is take a standard English name and add an addtional Letter or change a lettter (Marcus -> Markus)

Gnome:
Fizzlemazzjigglecogwheel

Dwarf:
Aggranor

- Hard constants in groups "Kh" are common in Dwarf names -

Night Elf:
Illirath
Dylvania

- Night Elf names commonly start with vowels or soft constants like "M" -

Take a run around the world or read the background story and note the naming patterns for races. You can get a lot of solid ideas. There used be a wonderful HOWTO name your character on the US WoW forums, but that seems to have been lost.
