Name them all Bob. So Bob the first, Bob the second etc. Much more simpler than trying to remember hard names. Steve is a good one too.

Call them "Everybody "Anybody" "Nobody" "Someone" etc
Hilarity will ensue
Captain: Who's covering our flank?
Marine: Nobody is Sir
Captain: What! Send Someone over there quick!
Marine: Nobody is close to that area
Captain: Dear Emperor's spirit, send Everybody!
Marine: Everybody's dead Sir
Captain: We haven't got Anybody!?!?
Marine: If Anybody was around I doubt Anybody would be of help
Captain: So Nobody can save us?
Marine: No Sir, Nobody's covering our flank, don't you listen?!
Sorry, couldn't resist
I actually think Exarch_Nektel list of names very apt, for some reason Roman names just seem to match the Blood Angels style

I use baby name websites (no, really). most of them let you search for names by meaing and/or origin. So you could, for example, look up Norse name that mean "warrior".
Not sure the of the name origins for BAs btu it coudl prove useful.

My Wolf Lord is named Bob... says it right on his fancy scroll work. People always get this kind of "let down" look on their faces when they pick him up to read it.

Step one: select manly concept
Step two: translate into latin
step three: repeat
Remember, when all else fails you can just call him the latin name for the chapter. In the same way that the Primarch of the Iron Hands is Ferrus Manus, you could probably name one of them Angelo Sanguis or something. Repeat Ad Nausium.

Every Space Marine army needs at least one Brother Maynard. Make sure he's the model holding the meltabomb.
Since it's the Blood Angels I'd go for the most pretenious name you can think of. Combine multiple roman names like Titus Flavius Vespasianus.

Wooa  , quite a few there, I notice Borris near the top, 'and Borris Johnson just battered you with his power axe after you didn't pay the c-charge' The numbers are for the normal marines. Starting to get ideas now, howz about: Morgan Daxiel Sepharius Raxis Magnus Victor Xavier Maximillion Bob must be there somewhere, just for you guys Whoops, forgot that I narrowed the Dread down to Ajax or Phaeton. What your opinions?

I like all of those names you picked because I think they fit in the lexicon of the creative space marine mythos as plausible. Important to me for theme, opinions will vary. Good luck.
