Do you have a pile of projects lying around with good names? Coming up with a good one is hard and getting harder every day.

There is no such thing as a good name. A name is good or not only in relation to the reasons why you want that name. Different teams, orgs, etc have different reasons to name systems. Traditionally, tech names have been in English or English sounding bisyllabic mostly (Game Boy, Windows, Office, Adobe, XBox) with PlayStation being unusually long for a name competing in the anglosphere. But examples like the Bard to Gemini change, Veo (Spanish), Claude (French) break the pattern, even then you still have DeepSeek, Lyria and ChatGPT.
Oh I see. When you said:
> Why do programmers have so little imagination when it comes to names?
I assumed that you had a better than average method that you could share. But I guess you answered your own question:
> There is no such thing as a good name.
