I like the way the Grateful Dead came up with their name (one of my bands did this too). Which is to take a book and just randomly leaf through and pick a word or phrase. The randomness of this can lead to word combinations you just wouldn't think to come up with.

I was just going to say, we would open up a dictionary to random pages to make up band names. We had some pretty fun ones.

Grab a couple old books/dictionaries/thesaurus and throw darts, see what you get.

Or pick favorite phrases from books, songs, or film.
