Spoiler: You are right.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED ...

It's like a fifth grader named this. Jellies, nightmares, the Staff of Blue, the Soft Blade...

Or spamming a generic fictional name generator ad nauseum, or blindly pointing random words in a dictionary book until it sounds cool.

I know, as a very poor attempt to write novels/short stories by myself, it is hard to come up with names, whatever it is fictional or factual names. From my experience, it doesn't be necessary to sound cool or awesome. It as to make sense into the world it comes from and interesting enough to pick anybody's curiosity.

The best example I have (and use as an inspiration source while worldbuilding my universes), are the Stoneburners, from Dune. A stoneburner is basically a futuristic nuclear bomb. There's my curiosity have kicked in : how to burn stones ? How's that possible ?

He could've named it the Unmaker, the ASHI - Alien Staff of High Interest, the Obscura, the Starmaker

I kinda like the word 'Unmaker', though. I wish I could use this word for one of my WIPs I'm working on the side. I have found other words that makes more senses for my universe, but the Unmaker ... I dunno ...
