I am boring; I just name projects like I'm naming a variable.

DailySpreadsheetUpdateScript, KoboldCardGame, TestTeamListUpdate... I am not fun at parties, either.

Usually, I name it quite literally, or whatever my superior has already planned to name it. If I'm working on a team, I cede to someone else. If I can't think of a name, it gets a ambiguous name and a date. This goes for my programming projects and not programming projects alike.

I tend to think of synonyms and combine them, and follow loose conceptual connections. Might end up cheesy, or super fitting. My most recent project is a webui for the openai api, and I called it Mindloom.

AI - smart, think -> Mind!
API - create requests, chain them, chain, weave, fabric, threads -> Loom!
