How to find project names? (lemm.ee)

I am currently searching for a name that I can use for a software project. Id like to have a short one that has no real meaning associated with it. I already asked some ai's. All names that I found sound terrible or have some meaning attached to it. . Like the name is already used for some medication or so.

How do you guys come up with names?

  1. What does my project do?
  2. Can I express that in a concise way?
  3. Can I make it cutesy and memorable? Maybe with a fun acronym or alliteration?

If I can't come up with anything I like, this is one of the only few areas in my life where I am comfortable asking AI. I am also very bad at names. But you already did that step, so sorry that that is not too helpful!
