This has to be one of the most difficult tasks that I face. I often think that the names I come up with are stupid, makes no sense ETC. Look at YouTube and Facebook, if these platforms didn't exist, no one would care about these names, in fact, they sound a little silly if not stupid.
Think of "tailwind," a word which has nothing to do with web development but we have a CSS framework. Blackberry and Apple, meh. Shopify? I absolutely hate nothing more then people post-fixing things with "ify". I understand that there are philosophies and meaning behind these names but my point is that don't sweat it.
Use words from your own native language that are meaningful to you. Choose words from other languages. People DON'T have to understand the names. However, keep in mind that bad names do exist.
For instance, an Asian restaurant that was named, "Fuk Mi." A website named and had the same domain of, "Choose Spain" (Sounds like choose pain, lmao) and a Swedish toilet paper company that named their toilet papers in Swedish called "Krap."

Thank you so much for this, I didn't know those brand names existed :D
Absolutely valuable advice that it does not has to make sense
Or the ikea children’s bed „Gutvik“ which sounds like „good f**k“ in german ...
yeah as a german myself I already saw some crazy Ikea names too :D
