Damn, mighty jealous of that one.
Speaking of thersaurs-y options, I love this site: http://onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml
Sometimes it pulls some weird options out of its hat, such as terribly archaic words, words that were never all that popular and who's time has already passed or something, but loving words, it can be a joy to discover rarities such as "pawky" and then use them for your names (the bonus there being no one else has ever used it before). And if the presented words have nothing to do with your concept, they still might trigger some other idea for you.
