pick something like "iAmurioBugFoneStickr2 Solutions" (the 2 is supposed to be pronounced "squared")
It always helps to add a lowercase "e" or an "i" before something as an indicator of internet-enabled technology
Having a meaningless Latin-root-derived phrase (e.g. Verizon, Altria, Experian, Lucent) sounds articulate and intellectual
Always try to use CamelCase or something typographically difficult. It makes someone stop and notice it, like someone who notices their shoes are squeaky.
Combining words together is a great way to handle mergers. (like GlaxoSmithKline formerly known as Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham, or PricewaterhouseCoopers fka Price-Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand)
Creative misspellings give you bonus points for trademark protection. (Flickr, Cingular, NetFlix, Paychex)
You can always add a tone of seriousness by adding a noncommittal qualifying noun at the end like "Group" or "International" or "Network".
What the heck, just stick a bunch of slangy words together! (SmugMug)
I found the name for my portfolio and blog using the hardest method possible today, trying to find a good, available domain name.
My reasoning is that if you're looking to create an online business then you'll want your name as the domain name. It's hard to come up with a good name for your business, but it's even harder to come up with one that's actually available.
Come up with a list of relevant words involving your business or objects you would like to have in the business name, then try a domain name suggestion tool like NameTumbler, MakeWords or any other one you can find..
The best advice I can give is to make sure it's google-unique. If you pick a common noun you'll never be an early hit for your own name. String two common nouns together and you avoid that. seems to be a popular arrangement.
对于一家小公司来说，客户的满意度远比您是否拥有伟大的名字更能推动品牌认知度。 您甚至可以没有名字，如果您的声誉领先于您，人们就会知道您的公司是“乔纳森·康威的商店”，并对此感到高兴。 如果你花时间思考名字而不是实际生产，人们就不会记住或关心你，即使你有一个伟大的名字，如 37signals 或 Fog Creek。
For a small company, the satisfaction of your customers drives brand recognition far more than whether you have a great name. You could even have no name, and if your reputation precedes you people will know your company as "Jonathan Conway's shop" and be happy with that. If you burn time thinking about names instead of actually producing, people won't remember or care even if you have a great name like 37signals or Fog Creek.
1) when you tell it to someone they should be able to spell it - it should not be like playing telephone ( you don't want them going to dig.com or boynboyn.com or boxy.com )
2) it should express something about the spirit of your company, without needing too much explanation
3) it shouldn't sound generic ( avoid gobusiness.com or mywebflights.com or bestcomputing.com )
Jot down a few words describing what idea inspired you make the sort of software you make instead of some other kind of software, or what differentiates the way you want to do things from your competition... then plug the words into wikipedia, google or look them up in a thesaurus.
I go to places like here for software names. There are lot of sites out there like this one but I find this one to have the better names. Just adding this for anyone looking for one in the future.
I used a web site (can't remember the URL) that allows you to search for available domain names. I set max length to 6 characters and eventually found eneset.com that became a name of a company.
I agree that you should take google searchability into account as well as something like 'phoneticity'. You want people to be able to point a browser to your site after having heard the name.
One way of arriving at a name would be to gather together a group of people together who are stakeholders, or maybe who are just interested, in a room with a whiteboard. Now execute a brainstorm.
Try visiting marketplaces with brandable domains such as BrandStarters so that you can find available names rather than brainstorming only to find out the name is taken. There are other similar sites with a large inventory of domains.

我今天使用最困难的方法为我的投资组合和博客找到了名称，试图找到一个好的可用域名。
我的理由是，如果您想创建在线业务，那么您会希望将您的名字作为域名。 为您的企业想出一个好名字很难，但想出一个实际可用的名字就更难了。
列出涉及您的业务或您希望在公司名称中包含的对象的相关单词列表，然后尝试使用域名建议工具，例如 NameTumbler、MakeWords 或任何其他您能找到的..

我能给出的最好建议是确保它在谷歌中是唯一的。 如果你选择一个普通名词，你的名字永远不会成为早期热门。 将两个普通名词串在一起就可以避免这种情况。 似乎是一种流行的安排。

“很酷很时髦”这个名字怎么样？
您可以接听电话，“嗨：这很酷，有什么可以帮忙的吗？”
How about "cool and funky" as a name?
You could answer the phone, "Hi: this is cool, how can I help?"

按重要性排序：
1）当您告诉某人时，他们应该能够拼写它 - 它不应该像玩电话一样（您不希望他们去 dig.com 或 boynboyn.com 或 boxy.com ）
2 ) 它应该表达一些关于您公司的精神，而不需要太多解释
3) 它不应该听起来很笼统（避免 gobusiness.com 或 mywebflights.com 或 bestcomputing.com ）
记下几句话来描述您的想法的灵感来源您制作的软件而不是其他类型的软件，或者您想做事的方式与竞争对手有何不同……然后将这些单词插入维基百科、谷歌或在同义词库中查找它们。
In order of importance:
1) when you tell it to someone they should be able to spell it - it should not be like playing telephone ( you don't want them going to dig.com or boynboyn.com or boxy.com )
2) it should express something about the spirit of your company, without needing too much explanation
3) it shouldn't sound generic ( avoid gobusiness.com or mywebflights.com or bestcomputing.com )

许多人花费太多时间搜索真实、有意义的单词，却发现 .com 域名已被占用。
选择一个非常短、无意义的 .com 名称，长度为 4-6 个字母。
您可能会发现它非常独特。
Many people spend too much time searching for real, meaningful words, only to find the .com domain is already taken.
Go for a very short meaningless dot com name, 4-6 letters long.
You may find it's surprisingly distinctive.
无论您想出什么办法，请确保“.com”域可用。 人们记住这个名字，并假设为“.com”。
Whatever you come up with, make sure the ".com" domain is available. People remember the name, and assume the ".com".
你写什么类型的软件？ 什么市场？ 你想填补什么空白？ 您将如何在竞争中脱颖而出？
这些是我想回答的问题……名字应该由此而来。
例如，Cerberus Capital - 又名希腊神话中的三头狗......而Cerberus以吞噬其他公司而闻名......
what kind of software do you write? what market? what niche are you trying to fill? how will you stand out against your competition?
those are the kind of questions i'd want to answer... the names should flow from that.
for example, cerberus capital - aka the 3 headed dog from greek mythology.... and cerberus is known for gobbling up other companies....
我会到此处等地方查找软件名称。 有很多类似的网站，但我发现这个网站的名字更好。 只是为将来寻找的人添加这个。
I go to places like here for software names. There are lot of sites out there like this one but I find this one to have the better names. Just adding this for anyone looking for one in the future.
我使用了一个网站（不记得 URL），它允许您搜索可用的域名。 我将最大长度设置为 6 个字符，最终发现 eneset.com 成为了一家公司的名称。
I used a web site (can't remember the URL) that allows you to search for available domain names. I set max length to 6 characters and eventually found eneset.com that became a name of a company.
我们使用了代表我们理念的名称：ThinkBottomUp
We used a name that represents our philosophy: ThinkBottomUp
我同意你也应该考虑谷歌的可搜索性
就像“语音”之类的东西。 你希望人们能够指出
听到名字后，浏览器会访问您的网站。
获得名称的一种方法是将一群人聚集在一起
人们在一起，他们是利益相关者，或者也许只是
有兴趣，在一个有白板的房间。 现在进行一次头脑风暴。
I agree that you should take google searchability into account as well
as something like 'phoneticity'. You want people to be able to point
a browser to your site after having heard the name.

people together who are stakeholders, or maybe who are just
interested, in a room with a whiteboard. Now execute a brainstorm.
尝试访问具有品牌域名的市场，例如 BrandStarters，这样您就可以找到可用的名称，而不仅仅是集思广益找出名字被占用。 还有其他类似的网站拥有大量域名。
