Lend me your creative mind.


Alrighty then...

Every few weeks myself and a group of friends come together to play some pen & paper RPG. Now, one of those friends and myself are the resident GM's or DM's (whichever term you prefer) and we tend to play all kinds of setting, fantasy, sci-fi whatever the group feels like playing.

I'm currently working on a Cyberpunk campaign and I hit a snag. I'm a huge Cyberpunk fan and I want to make it feel as authentic as possible. I'm in need of names that can be used for various Megacorp.

I have most names but there are still a few I need.
The ones I'm still looking for are:
- Finance/Banking.
This corp will be responsible for management of public and to a certain extend corporate finance, they will often be used as a middle man between various Megacorp.
- Genetic engineering.
People that are against cybernetic enhancements will turn to this company. Cloned or Vat grown replacement limbs, genetic enhancements, to a lesser extend stims etc...
- Computer systems/gadgets.
This corp will be offering consumer computer systems, means and tools to access the information network (legal and illegal), and they would also provide or assist certain corp with their data network.

I would like to find original names so here I am, looking for some input of my peeps

Some examples are: Eurocorp (from Syndicate) or Intex Systems (from Alien Breed) and so on...
All ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just have three fast ones before I head home from work

For the gentic corp maybe something like Anu-U Corp derived from "A new you"

Banking corp - M.O.N.E. Corp - derived from monitary & money (you can have fun making up words for the letters like (Money Online Networking Enterprises)

Computer/tech style corp - Invasix derived from inovations or invasion.. why the six at the end? I just like the way it sounds
or another quick one of the same line Inova

Solution:
http://www.rxlist.com/drugs/alpha_a.htm

Use the name of a drug for your future company. They're normally strange enough that they fit right on in. For example, just on that first page we have Epzicom, Abstral, and Zovirax.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Was hoping for more input but it seems I received quality instead of quantity /win

- Computer systems/gadgets.
Inova Data Systems.
Invasix sounds cool as a brand name for hacking equipment, so that one's in as well.

- Genetic engineering.
Genera Geneticare or simply Geneticare, still undecided as of this writing. the word Geneticare

And the clever link provided by Captain1nsaneo http://www.rxlist.com/drugs/alpha_a.htm has been bookmarked

I'm still taking cool names seeing this campaign or parts of it might be used to create a cyberpunk universe that will be featured in a roleplay rulebook the other GM and myself are writing.

It's important that the names don't have real world equivalents which could be directly linked to eachother.
