One thing I do when I can't immediately think of a domain-appropriate name is to give an obviously wrong one, like "new_function_01". During a complex refactoring, I may have dozens of such methods or variables. Eventually the variations are all smoothed out and I can replace 20 different method calls with one method call with perhaps an additional argument. That method is way easier to name. Naming seem to be the last step of refactoring. Refactoring is the process of manipulating / identifying the semantics of an application, names are human-readable tags that ease the mental task of understanding semantics.
