Is it just me, or do the names for Avatar seem to be something you've never heard before? Aang? Zuko? Katara? Sokka? They sound like almost perfectly normal names, but is anyone in the world actually named this? Even toph sounds normal. Who comes up with these names?

Well actually Aang isn't an original name. Aang was the name of one of the very first recorded cases of conjoined twins, his brother's name was Chang.

Actually, the conjoined twins were Eng and Chang Bunker, Chinese brothers born in Siam, now Thailand. These guys were coined the Siamese Twins.
So there is similarity between the names when romanized, but its not 100% Aang.

Toph doesn't even sound like a normal name. I don't recall any Chinese/Japanese/"other commonly used Asian language in A:TLA" word that uses "ph". Maybe "f" but not "ph". confused Her last name IS a normal Chinese name though.
All of them sound normal to me except Sokka.
