Either I create a character for the name (if I think of the name first, such as the dragoness Nephy in my oneshots and Lay the Dragon novels), or I use fantasynamegenerators(dot)com.
Though with spells, items, and rarely characters, I make them something to laugh at. Like in my novel Two Faces, I have a spell that generates hot water. the spell's words are literally just a google translate of "Hot water to wash", then swapped back and forth between english and latin, with a few minor alterations, until it roughly means "try to wash". because it's a fun little joke for me, the author. and if any of my readers know enough latin to get that, then cool.
