Ehhh...I'm not sure how to give an "evil" name without it sounding horribly cliché, frankly. No name is really evil, actually, just associated with an evil person, and any example I think of just does sound cliché. Plus, I'd avoid giving your character what you think sounds like an "evil" name; think about it, the parents of your character didn't intentionally give their baby an evil name (er, I assume)! Any name could work; Marcus Wade, Delora Marquez, Simone Rutiger, Arabella Manette, Joel King, Benjamin Freeman, etc. could all conceivably be villains, and their names have nothing to do with it.
Perhaps I could better suggest names if I knew a bit more about your character(s). Background? Gender? Motive? Personality?

I have 4 characters, they are all evil, born evil
Character one-gray hair, picky, wears polka dots, Loves archery, destroys by hunting down things and taizing...
Character two-chocolate colored hair, likes and plays sports, likes to be tickled even when in a bad mood, but won't admit it, Destroys anything with light
Character three- a prickly liar, bleached hair, ponytail, Likes to destroy things by water
Character four-fairly stylished, has abouts of snobbery, loves to destroy things by fire
Background-evil creates evil and evil destroys itself?
I thought about doing a story with all good characters too but not in the same story. it will be a challenge for me...

I agreed with the previous poster about the only thing that makes a name seem evil is the cliche.
I personally would just go with some that fit the personality.
So, my suggestions are:
Character 1 -
Thea, Dosia, Doria (all linked to Dorothy, which was inspired by nickname Dot)
Yumi (technically means archery bow)
Farran and Lloyd would be male names related to grey.
Griselda and Liadan would be the female grey names.
Theron was a Greek hunter (male)
Charlize (her last name is Theron ;) )
Character 2 -
Zohar, Elnur (male) and Keren, Lucasta, Natela (female) etc all relate to light.
Tawny - light brown and kinda kidish... could see a tickle-lover in this.
Character 3 -
Bronwen
Nuala / Noola
Gwen
Livna
Whitney
Zuri / Zurine
Beyla
*all related to white... like her hair and frothy water.
Character 4 -
Imani (only because I have a friend named this who sounds similar ;))
Garnet, Ruby, Shani, Kamala, Sienna (standard red names)
Chanda means hot/passionate
OR, just pick 4 stylish names like Edie, Greta, Molly and Wynn.
