Some of those words are quite funny when said aloud.

Ah man, I really wish that name would fit...
I don't have problems with names. I just do names that either don't make sense, or in rare cases, no-one has ever thought of.
ANother good strategy is to take the one word that best describes the character (or powersets) and then change a letter or two. Like "laser" turns into "Phazor." "Fire" can be changed into "Phyer" (overused, but you get the idea.)
Or, go the DC route and just slap man, woman, lad, lass, or dog at the end of the name. Superman, Batman. Superhorse. Underdog. Etc.
These are overused concepts I know, but it is tried in true in the comics all through history.
Just try on Liberty, you can still get almost any name you want.

Or even combine to comical effect! Strike fear into the hearts of evildoers everywhere with Man-Lass! and his(?) trusty sidekick, Boy-Dog!

Nice dictionary! I usually have no problem getting a decent name, mostly through using just a little originality, adding a first name, or some other little trick like that, but I'm all for increasing the playerbase's verbositude!

Funny you should say that, because I have been amazed by some of the names I've managed to get on Liberty.

It IS a strategy. Readers of '90s comics would likely dispute the "good" part, though. 
Dec out.

Both of those are cheesy.

Or

As any devoted tyrophile can elucidate, tyromancer is an entirely redundant term.
