Hi Ray ...

Well, interesting question you've brought up. I've discussed
the very same with several successful marketers and here's their
take on it.

If you want it tailored towards search engines, etc. ... then definitely
go with the descriptive web site name that contains the keywords. This
was mentioned by others already.

However, if you want this to be a 'word of mouth' advertised site and
think your customers will share your site based on what you offer ...
then a jazzy name might be in order. FuzzyDuck, PurpleToothpick, etc.
Something others would share word of mouth .. ODD .. but rememberable.

So, it really depends on what you want to accomplish.
