I find the easiest way to find new names is just to look at historical events, like wars, discoveries or old gods. Wikipedia's good for that, but just any search engine **COUGH COUGH *google* COUGH** would be just as good.

I'm a biologist, so I use Latin species/family names a lot (actually, Alisma would be one of those). :-D
