Swahili is a great language for finding good-sounding project names. Most words are easily pronounceable with a 'pleasant' balance between vowels and consonants, they just 'sound good'.
Take a word like 'rafiki', Swahili for 'friend'. That's a perfect name for some social platform. Or 'nena' - which means 'speak' - for a chat app. Just get a Swahili-whatever dictionary and you'll soon have more project names than you can shake a fimbo at. Fimbo is Swahili for 'stick', by the way.
