OT, but: I'm jealous of some people's abilities to come up with such clever names.

Full-derail: anyone seen any pointers to thinking up such names? Perhaps an Emacs command or mode? Or am I looking for a shortcut to a hard problem? Whatever it is, I'd appreciate it in pill-form (capsule please; none of that nasty tablet stuff).



I always pick my names from obscure fictional characters: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/hus94/the_ruby_...

Just read lots of fiction and keep a scratch pad next to you while you do.
