This seems like a walled garden approach, a better strategy may be a community where people can vote on names publicly. There's potential here, but more if it's public. Good start.

Well it's currently configured to use Amazon Mechanical Turk to get the name suggestions and vote on the best.

The plan is over time to build up a community of people interested in suggesting names/voting on the best in exchange for early beta access, but this seemed like an easier way to start due to no need for network effects.
