I have too many ideas and too many names but no time to implement all of them. Currently Im working at one of them. And sometimes I have too many names for the same idea, and its tragic because I cant have two domains for the same app, or cant write a book and give it two titles.
My head is a fountain, sometimes I get up from bed by 11pm or 1am to write down that name, and I filled two pages of a notebook with such names and ideas. Not to mention that in the last ten years I bought many domain names but at that time I didnt have advanced skills.
So I told you how I come up with ideas, they come to me at any time. I think its part of personality, just like some others dont have the skills to program. I can help you if you need with names, I dont steal ideas, and ideas are hard to sell.
And to give you some choices: you can either give it a common name or something unique. I think the latter one is for really creative types. You d like to be a Spotify, not a HackerNewsify.
