By setting aside the availability, it should be rememberable (for me it is either an animal or an object/person that represents the product/project). Lately, I chose the name Sandglass for a message queue (https://github.com/celrenheit/sandglass). The reason is that this project depends on an ID generator that I named sandflake (in reference to twitter's snowflake). So I chose the name sandglass because it is kind of like a glass with a lot of sandflakes flowing through it (like a message queue).

Another name I used was Lion for an http router but for no particular reasons :)
