Finding a good company name

One of the things that I always think is interesting is the names people choose for their companies.  What’s the story behind “Fog Creek”?  Where’s the “fog” and who’s “creek” was it?  I often find that the most random names are the ones I find interesting.  Shouldn’t the names that describe the company be the ones I remember? 

What do you think makes a good company name?  What are the brands that you remember, what is it about them that makes them “memorable”?
