Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Well, I have introduced a new set of characters into my Katia story and need some help with names. They are about a foot tall, fly, and live in the woods on Malok's home world. So far Malok's race have just considered them to be about the equivalent of mosquitos but have not engaged in an eradication campaign on them, rather choosing to stay away from them.
Now Katia has encountered one of them and has opened up communication with them after one of them painfully slashed her finger tip in what it thought was self defense. I plan to make these faery looking characters their allies in their fight against the Djinarians.
I tried a faery name generator but decided that "Braken Windflower" was not what I wanted. Would anyone care to name my six little allies?

Buzzy names
If you want to get away from terrestial fairy lore, with recognizeably English words in them, maybe names in keeping with the mosquito-like sounds you say these creatures make. Chitinous and/or buzzy. (In Gulliver's Travels Swift gave the names and terms used in each land he visited a unique unifying sound to them, each new place seeming to have a whole new language, somehow connected to the physical properties of the people or the land, and I think it worked well...) Off the top of my head: Zyzyryx, Vludderud, Burzz, Kitititik, Rrrzla.

In one of my RPG games when
In one of my RPG games when I was MUCH younger, I would think about an attribute of each character, then roll a pair of dice. For each letter of the attribute, you roll the dice, then go up or down the alphabet the number of pips showing on the dice. It woud produce often unpronouncible names, that would also let you come up with a nickname for your human character to call them. One of the characters was from a watery world, with lots of slack water, sorta swampy areas, and it's diet was mainly based on sucking up algae. I considered the attribute to be scumsucker, and rolled the dice. His species was the Luepeirden, and I just nicknamed him Slurp. He turned out to be a pretty successful non-player character.

Unpronounceable names
So your character decides to name them after the Seven Dwarfs, or Santa's reindeers.
Being aliens think of Ford Prefect from HHGG
IE aliens will likely misunderstand our culture and pick names of popular cars, fast food chains and so on as if they were popular human names.
Or take common Earth names and spell them oddly.
IE swap Y for I ... Mike = Myke. Jill = Jyll and so on.
