I could say something pretty arrogant right now...
If I called my server Whahghaghagah, people would play it.
You'll figure why...
A name makes only a small percentage of the server, it is supposed to represent though, but it isn't the server itself.
There's a saying that fits to this I think
Never judge a book by its cover

I'm not saying judge a book by it's cover. I never said a name MAKES a server. Also, you're views on how a server name is remembered is rather, well, flawed, though holds some grains of truth.
Let's take some examples of names of some pretty successful games/game-series:
- DOOM - One word, very easy to pronounce. So simple, it just sticks. Even so, it fits the atmosphere of the game. I remember when I was a child and I played DOOM, there was always a sense of incoming doom, around every corner, through every door.
- Final Fantasy - Use of alliteration, so it makes it stand out and stick. Also, isn't Final Fantasy a, hrm, fantasy themed game?
Either way, if the server was perfect in every way, we'd remember the name anyway. However, wouldn't it just be the icing on the cake to have a really cool name as well?
