Here are some...
Thesaurus.com + lame 'd' naming scheme, remove D for a unique name...
* d-construct
* d-raise
* d-rear
* d-synth
* d-velop (DeeVelop aka develop)
* d-wax
* d-amass
* d-chunk
* d-horde
* d-heap
* d-annex
* d-beef
* d-sweet
Microsoft Naming Scheme...
* Xbuild
* Xdevelop
* xena
* xbuild3.14 (hey, it worked for xbox360, substitute any number that is 'cool' and 'hip')
* xotus (exodus)
* xdbuild #
Unique names...
* snowball
* avalanche
* gather
* bigbang
* ehorizon (event horizon)
That's all I can think of for now.
