One of my favorite for a pickaxe is Achoo! because it is like you sneeze the blocks out of existence... Or if you play on a server you could have (instert someones name here) stompers for booots.
When I have a diamond sword w/ flaming enchantment, I like to call it "Igneous" or "Scorcher". Otherwise "Ravenous Hydra"
A diamond pickaxe with good enchantments I call, "The Underminer".
Diamond shovel = "Excavator"
Diamond axe = "Super Woodcutter"
And if it's one thing Minecraft taught me, it's that you don't waste your diamonds on hoes.
I named my Fortune III pick •••Fortuner••• just for kicks. I usually don't name diamond tools unless there is a REALLY dope enchant on them. Like my Sharpness V, Looting III, Unbreaking III diamond sword I named "The Epic Blade" because, well, it's epic. And it was one of the first diamond swords I ever made, and its still the best diamond sword I've ever had. When I name a diamond tool, I think of words that describe it, then I play around with synonyms and other words to create a cool name.
i.e.
A diamond axe I might call "Lumberjackson" (play-on of Lumberjack)
A diamond shovel I might call "Excavate-or" (because shovels excavate dirt)
Naming tools jokingly affectionate names also works. "Farmer Brown" diamond hoe, "Betty" diamond axe (BajanCanadian/ASFJerome's invention), "Sushi Knife" diamond sword. I don't know. Its just fun to make the names! Throw out random words until you find one you like!

Lol I know not to use hoes and I like the shovel name
You are obliged to name your tools and armor if you want to keep them repaired. So I always have to come up with something new.
Shovel: "Digger", "Earth Mover"
Pick: "Rock Biter", "Fortunato", "4Ever"
Sword: "Edge", "Razor", "Hawksbill"
Bow: "Harper"
I'm proud of that last one. Yes, I pluck a song of death for you, dear skeleton.

Lol, nice! I don't repair my tools because I think it's a waste of diamonds. I have a mob farm so I can get to level 30 in like 3-4 minutes that half a double chest of gunpowder might come in handy some day. You never know... *laughs evilly*
One tip I've been using (can't remember who said it, it might have been Etho, but it wasn't original to me anyway) is to use descriptive names for the different enchants for your pick-axe.
For example, I have a silk-touch pick-axe and a fortune III one. They each have different uses but they look the same in your hotbar. If you name them with something that describes the enchant, you can scroll over it in your hotbar and it shows you the name so you don't accidentally use your "efficiency only" pick on a diamond ore block instead of your fortune III...
I'm a CCR fan so my fortune pick is called "Fortunate One" (play on fortunate son).
Silk touch is just "sliky smooth". not very cool, but I always know which one is active.

Yeah I thought about that on my own. I stole a name from MonkeyFarm from youtube and I name my silk touch pickaxes Silky
Some armor names:
Head: "Brain Jar", "Nut Case"
Chest: "Carapace" "Life Holder"
Pants: (Never think of a good one, so it's "Leggings" or such.)
Boots (with Feather Falling): "Snuggle Foots"
Hey, I have a "Rockbiter" pick, too :). And a "Stonebreaker," both are everyday work picks with Eff V and Unb III. My Silk Touch pick is "Smooth Operator" and my Looting (III, and Sharp V) sword is "Harvester of Sorrow." I've got two shovels, "Dig Dug" with Eff II for everyday digging, and "Dozer" with Eff V for just mowing down entire hills in mere seconds. My bow is called "Breau" (pronounced like "Bro") and my axe is just "The Woodsman." For armor, I've got "Pimp Hat," "Hawaiian Silk Shirt," "Fancy Pants" (yes, Fancy Pants) and "Air Jordans." I haven't used my Fortune pick enough to need repair yet, so I haven't given that one a name, but when the time comes I think I might go with "Ebenezer," as in Ebenezer Scrooge.
I can't remember many that i've had, but off the top of my head..
"Excavating" - Diamond shovel
"Aegis", "BOOM! Headshot", - Bows
"Massacre", "Unsheathed" "Temnota"(means darkness) - Diamond Swords
"Pantaloons" - most leg armour
"Hobnails" - boots
"Fishbowl" - aqua affinity + respiration diamond helm
"Mountainbane" - Diamond pick(eff 5)
They all sound pretty lame now, but eh... goodluck finding a name.
I've always used these names; not exactly that creative, especially for armor:
Sword: "Monster Slayer" (Sharpness V, Knockback II, Unbreaking III; does a pretty good job of living up to its name)
Bow: "Super Bow" (Power V, Infinity I, Unbreaking III; though my current one also has Flame, Punch is also accepted as long as it isn't Punch II or both as it becomes unrepairable)
Main pickaxe "Super Pickaxe" (Efficiency V, Fortune III, Unbreaking III; by far my most used/valuable item, over 150,000 uses in my current world)
Ender chest pickaxe: "Ender Pickaxe" (Efficiency V, Silk Touch I; Unbreaking is optional since I only use it perhaps a dozen times a day, only for Ender chests; my current one still has around 80% durability and was never repaired)
Chestplate and leggings: I just removed the space in the name (Protection IV)
Boots: Fall Boots (Feather Falling IV)
Helmet: Aqua Helmet (Respiration III, Aqua Affinity I; although I didn't even bother naming it this time, a gold helmet (plus Protection IV) from mob drops with half durability left, which is no issue as I only used to to mine sand underwater with no durability lost)
Baseball, then Minecraft.
"Hmm... no diamonds here. Maybe I should look underground?"
A diamond pickaxe with good enchantments I call, "The Underminer".

Unless they incredibly bangin' yo.
and i call my pick "Nosepicker"
but i cant really think of anything else.
i.e.
A diamond axe I might call "Lumberjackson" (play-on of Lumberjack)
A diamond shovel I might call "Excavate-or" (because shovels excavate dirt)

This one's my favourite name for a pick. I might just have to use it! XD
I like this name I think I'll use this for my pickaxe
Lol I know not to use hoes and I like the shovel name
I thought about it.
I will use that for my axe thanks everyone!

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.

Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
