This list is good if you want to know what not to name your game. But, some of them are actually pretty interesting due to their weirdness. For example, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together was named after a Queen song (not mentioned there) Cheesy

I don't know, "Wild Woody" is kind of catchy (though I was expecting it to be a much different game than it apparently is...)

EDIT: Found this rpg name generator which might produce some interesting ones. For example:

Bronze Core
Eris' Gear
Good Holiness
Necro Ocean
Neptune's Cavern: Coral Core
Simon's Divinity: Dark Core
Skies Space
Star of Heaven: The Sky of Space
Tidus' Magical
Copper Amethyst
Dancing Star IX
Gate of Eternity: The Portal of Blitz
Infinity of Eternity: The Ruby of Machine
Locke's Monster
Mystic of Infinite: The Planet of Star
Quest Wizard
Silver Magical Omega
South Peace
Spring Sky
Battle of Arcadia

This is an awesome trend, and should be continued.
Therefore, your game is named Fat Bottom Girls.  Now don't fuck it up  Gentleman

cheers!

In that case, I'm pretty sure I'd rather not play a game named "Hooker with a Penis" (which is the name of a song by Tool).

if you really want to use this, get one that sticks to you, and change most of the words. you want to keep your own creative spark. Wink

Game names these days don't have to be good, they have to be easy to google. Therefore, I suggest you name your game Fbrzrxk. Optionally, you can invent some kind of fake meaning. Something like "I got it from Schopenhauer" works well because no one actually reads philosophy (even though everyone claims to). It'll also have the added bonus of making you appear "intellectual".  Hand Thumbs Up Left

Really, though, being easy to Google is important. If your game's name is one generic noun, it's not going to be nearly as easy to find as a phrase.

Silver Magical Omega sounds pretty neat too. Like an old Treasure game.

"Kid's Magical: Hard Peace" Big Laff

I love random name/word/sentence generators. Either they give you something cool or they give you a laugh. These ones were actually pretty cool:

Cerulian Heaven Reborn
Sabin's Ocean: Necro Planet
Planet of Eternity: The Space of Chaos
Dark War Unlimited
Fantasia: Battle of the Radiant Blitz
Portal of Arcadia: The Diamond of Evolution
Steel Force Omega
Interstellar Chaos IV
Ethereal Blitz
Time of Atlantis: The Nexus of Doom

...and for some reason, my favorite:
"Celestial Machine"
I may have to use it...

"Quest Wizard" and "Spring Sky" sound pretty sweet to me. The first could be a really cheesy retro-styled hack'n'slash. Spring Sky sounds like... a JRPG that takes place around a floating castle a la Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
