How Do You Name Projects?
A commonly quoted joke about programming:
There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors
And that is talking more about naming variable and functions - not to mention naming a project!
I am curious what everyones strategy is when it comes to naming a new library, or website, or app?
My personal blog was just a silly observation of my cat, who I wanted to make the mascot so I called it CatStache!

I guess it depends on my audience. When building some sort of library, I'll generally stick to something properly descriptive.
For an app, it depends if it's public or not. I get much more creative if no one else has to care.
At my work there's been a history of some very obtuse backend service names, so the pendulum has swung hard in the other direction for many teams. I prefer a little bit of fun, but still making it fairly easy to associate service with function. For example the mileage tracking service we named "trippy", and the marketplace backend "bazaar".
