I larelt agree. I wrote a while back about how to make good names[1]

Choosing whimsical names is a pretty good way to satisfy my two most important requirements. They are often unique and don't mislead people.

Of course my ideal name would also give some hint about what it does (I think Google's BigTable may be one of the best named products) but I think this is far less important than the other two requirements.
