Finding a good project name always seem a complex task.
It's often the first thing you have to do, before you can write any code, so it's frustrating to waste time on this.
Generally, you try to brainstorm with several people until you get to a name that satisfies everyone, and then you still have to make sure the name is not taken by something else.
It can be:
It's a known fact that people are bad at naming things. It's often said that it's one of the hardest parts of computer science. There are tons of literature already about this on the web. Just type "naming things" in a search engine to see what I mean.

Cheers!
