Getting a name

**I see so many topic dedicated to finding a name.
Like: "I NEED A NAME" or "Can somebody find me a name for my game?"

The upside to this is:
You don't have to get of your lazy butt and think of a name.

The downside is:
You have to give credit to the person who thought of it, and you game is now 95% YOU than it would be 100% YOU.

Here is my Tutorial on how to make a name for your game.
Read on if you have lousy imagination and can't be bothered thinking of a name:**

Step 1: Go here:
http://watchout4snakes.com/creativitytools/RandomWord/RandomWordPlus.aspx
It usually give me ideas.
Step 2: Then take the word, and enter it here:
http://thesaurus.reference.com/

For example:
I found the word "Spirit" in the random word generator. Then I entered it into the thesaurus and got this:

air, animation, ardor, backbone*, boldness, breath, character, complexion, courage, dauntlessness, disposition, earnestness, energy, enterprise, enthusiasm, essence, fire, force, frame of mind, gameness, grit*, guts*, heart, humor, jazz*, life, life force, liveliness, mettle, mood, morale, motivation, nerve, oomph*, outlook, psyche, quality, resolution, resolve, sparkle, spunk*, stoutheartedness, substance, temper, temperament, tenor, vigor, vital spark, vitality, warmth, will, willpower, zest

Step 3: Then I took some words out of it:
Life Force: The Essence of Energy

You don't have to use all the main words from the same synonym.
You could go back, get another word and enter it again. This will make your name more interesting.

Hope I helped!

Yours Truly,
