Yeah, that is the Enterprice method of doing it.
The community method is to name it something that references its purpose from a cultural piece. I.E. It edit images, Smeargle; it increments relational data, 1UP; it connects servers or data, Jack-in Rockman.EXU!.
And the troll method is to only one cultural piece, and bash altogether. >>2-san has a good example.

Use an acronym of a description of what it does. If it's similar to a real word or name, add in extra words to the description so that the acronym becomes something that makes sense.
If the acronym is just a garbled mess of characters, consider appending j to it so everyone knows it's a Java project. Or tack ``Open'' to the front.

I just choose a cool name then make up an abbreviation that fits afterwards.
I thought of ``TIARA'', ``TIARA Is ARecursive Acronym'', off the top of my head. Then I googled it and it turned out everyone already thought of that decades ago.
>>26 Now, Python itself is named after Monty Python's Flying Circus, and along with the Cheese Shop hints that the community has a wry sense of humor and is cool with the wacky names. There has been a steady increase on software packages having herp-a-derp names, just for the lulz of it all.
What a painful paragraph.

I should have read the whole thing first before reacting.
