Seeder's Poison Interaction: What's in a Name? (Credit Given!)

Hey guys! Those of you who read my blog regularly (bless you, I love and appreciate every one of you!) would have seen the tiny excerpt to the new dystopian book I'm writing. As discussed in another blog post of mine, I have real issues with naming things/people. I am just not good at it. Which for an author is pretty lame I know.
       But I was thinking, since you guys are so great and have helped me out immensely before, I could throw the floor open to you and ask for your ideas on naming a few minor characters for me!
       First, a little background. Seeder's is set in a world divided into three classes: The Seeders (or those who have all the power and control), merchants (upper class citizen's who deal in the trades and are spared from manual labour) and farmers (pretty self explanatory I think). Vague descriptions ey? It's because I haven't figured all the bugs out yet.
       My MC (Her name is Rory) must set out on a doomed quest with characters from each of these classes and I want you guys to help me name them. Keeping in mind that my dystopia will be hundreds of years from now, I need names for:

1 Farmer
1 Merchant
2 Seeders

If you could give me reasons why you chose your names (even if it IS that you looked up babynames.com. I know I did!) Successful names will be used in my book and will receive full credit if *when Lan when, you must always think in positive terms* my book is published/self published!

*Disclaimer: Yes, I know this is technically cheating and that I have reached a new level of laziness, but to be fair, I have been sick :( Also, no guarantees that your character lives past this book, it is dystopia after all.

Over and out.

PS. Tried to create FB page. It wasn't pretty. Will attempt again....watch this space.
