Here is a simple list of:

how to be creative and innovative when choosing your ideal name.

The first step towards being creative is to allow yourself to be creative
Do not censor your self; just let your imagination run wild
Come up with a list of names, make it as long as possible and restrain your self from judging whichever name you come up with.
Now remember that most creative and innovative ideas are random so always carry a note pad or an electronic device so that you can always be ready to jot those ideas as they come by.
Ask questions, all kind of questions either foolish or intelligent. You know it's amazing simple how some of us are afraid to ask questions thinking that they might look foolish. Ask your friends, family members and if you are bold enough-strangers to suggest a name for you.
Be a voracious reader. In order to be creative, you must first of all gather all that you need to know regarding that subject. For instance read all articles written about domain names, check the list of the top 500 web sites on Alexa and try to see what they have in common.
Engange your self in an imaginary dialogue. I know this is going to sound crazy but believe me it's a method that very successful people have used to succeed. Talk to yourself! visualize that which you want and then have an imaginary conversation about it with your self.
Speak out the domain names you come up with. Find a nice place and start speaking them all loud. Try to see which amongst them sounds better,is easy to pronounce and just catches your attention.

Once you have a list of all the possible names,

move on to the next stage of problem solving.
