I go with history, mythology or chemistry/physics a lot. A WIP "OS" I were working on is called Helium, I got a new project called Argon Luna (Argon is another element, Luna because it's written in Moonscript), which is composed of stuff like "BigBang" (a semi-configurable TLCO, and is executed first, just like the big bang in many theories) and "Themis" (which is a coroutine manager which handles all the different processes running, which is named after a greek goddess of law/justice).
Uhh, that is a pretty nice idea. I think a program with such a name gets its own touch or ambiente. Thanks!

I think it is called atom because the editor out of box is really bare bones, and only contains the essentials (like an atom) but you can build on it, add packages and make it your own, (creating a molecule). Idk, thats my take on it.
Idk if Atom has really bare bones, because I can remember many bugs and glitches, but maybe it's just a delusion.

In my opinion, one must choose a name that can be easily remembered by your target audience. It should be unique ( eye catching) too and has its own identity. Lastly, it should be related to your project.
In addition: If the name starts with one of the first letters in the alphabet, then it will be appear at the top of alphabetic sorted lists, but I think it's less important than eye catching names and names, which are related to your project.
