Try something completely unrelated but thought provoking, like Kama Sutra for example. :)

Don't do that everywhere, like you dont have kids because you cannot come up with the name :doh: :-D No start the project with some generic name, until you find the product name. like if you working on a Project Management website, call it 'ProjectManagement', once you are done with it. spend some time looking for a product name. and if it is website, first look for a domain name, because product name without available domain name is useless.
Do you mean the wife would let me choose something like that?! Don't think so... :-D

I name all my projects after my favorite super-heroes and I make sure that my project names have nothing to do with what I am actually developing.

Give it a name that has absolutely nothing to do with its purpose, then give a different (but similarly inappropriate) name to its executable. Then you have to name the installation program "setup.exe", and include a readme file that only states system requirements, and does not give a clue as to what the program is or does. And make sure that the installer installs the program in a subdirectory of PF that is named after what you might name a company if you owned one (or after a favourite uncle; something like that), and that any Start menu shortcuts are also placed in a subdirectory with a name that says nothing whatsoever about the program itself. Once you have implemented all of these points, you may freely enter the realm of professional shareware developers.

Taking the same steps, and then just adding a "G" or "K" to the front of the name will grant you access to the Freetard Slave Foundation (FSF) and be suitable for distribution on systems like Gnome and KDE.

I think it must be known in some circles that thinking of a name is a large stumbling block for a project, as you well know. And this must be why Microsoft gives its projects code names. I like to follow the same principle in my own work. The code is what's really important, I'll think of the name later!
You still have to think of a name, sooner or later...

Usually something generic, like "ReportGenerator" or "TradeUploader"... But when I'm starting something that will become a major system, I get creative. Then I like to take words apart, or even go to acronyms. The old portfolio management system I wrote at my previous job was called "___Sheets", where the ___ part was the first syllable of our group name... Not that creative, but it was a start. The current one I'm working on is "Raptor"... "Risk Analysis, Portfolio Tracking, Order Routing system"... Never thought I'd get away with that, but my boss loved it... Even wanted it to "roar" when it started up :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
