Life’s more fun with nicknames. That’s why we name our wireless networks “Julia Louis-Wifus” or “23cm tops come to Apt. 3B”. But say you need to name a whole set of things, like software versions, conference rooms, or just placeholders in an example. At that point you can’t just make up random names one by one. You need a system.
So pick one from the wiki site Naming Schemes. Name your cocktails after Hawaiian islands. Name your secret work projects after Bond villains. Name your web site’s servers after philosophers. Name your kittens after pro wrestlers. Name your fists.
If you don’t know where to start, get inspiration from the Random page link. Like Wikipedia or TV Tropes, the site has a rabbit-hole effect.
You might find yourself checking every category you can think of, to make sure it’s covered. If it’s not, you can add your own — the site is a wiki that anyone can edit.

I always run out of things to call planets and creatures in No mans sky so thank you 🙂
I use gods’ and godesses’ names from greek mythology (and The Odyssey).
