You can also just say something random that sounds cool.
There are also other methods to name your god. , And don't be afraid to borrow traits from existing gods.

Just make sure you aren't ripping off any gods. , The appearance should match the god's personality though.
If you have a god of fire, you can give him spiky orange hair, (even flaming!) and give him eyes with attitude! But let's say you have a goddess of beauty.
