"YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS APP CAN DO FOR YOU, CLICK HERE TO INSTALL AND FIND OUT!!!", should be catchy enough, idk about the length tough...

I generally use a name that tries to submit my idea and the reasoning for my application. For example, I am currently reworking my self written music player (I hate iTunes, laggy as hell and so much unnecessary stuff in it) using electron and gave it the name "The Classic" because that is what it does, just being a minimal classic music player. No online store for buying songs books or movies. Just a player with a powerful search engine (based on "tags") allowing you to search everything (lyrics, composers, names, titles). It can be extended using plugins but ye. No one is using it so I just write those 2/3 plugins that I need and call it a day ;)
For example casting to a chromecast... -
Just take a word that describes you app, like 'crappy thing that no one will use and doesn't help anyone,' shorten it to 'crap' and see if it rhymes with something... like... 'app' or 'application' and then smash them together. 'Craplacation' should be perfect. Or take any word and remove the last vowel like 'crapper' and then make it 'crappr.' GOLD!

@BassClefBuddha Nice! He did a pretty good job! Definitely due for an update though.

leny4528yWhen I need to find a name, I like to go to Google Translate, then type a list of words related to my project, then look for funny translations in "exotic" langages.
Many of npm libs are named from Haitian Creole, which is a great, funny looking langage. -
sirjofri5198yTake a few random consonants and fill them with some nice vowels. Voila! You can generate random consonants with randomly hacking on your keyboard and deleting every vowel (or just write a generator).
hibivodogk is a random name I generated that way.
You can also limit the sound of the name by limiting the consonants (and vowels) to specific ones only.

Any tips to find a good and catchy name for an app?
Thanks ^^
