There's the Word Salad Title, and then there's this. This isn't so much of a salad as the diced carrots on top of the salad. This trope comes into play when the creators deconstruct words, rearrange letters, or create new terms to name their works. This usually takes one of three forms:
A bunch of syllables tossed together
Two or more words combined in an unusual way.
A common term that's been altered or rearranged.
This is usually justified by the Rule of Cool, and related to As Long as It Sounds Foreign. Sometimes the title is random due to ease of trademarking a non-generic word. See also The Unpronounceable. The proper noun version of Perfectly Cromulent Word.

The title of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL might be a case of this; the "Xyz Summoning" mechanic ("ek-seez" according to the original Japanese; "ik-seez" according to the English version) it introduces definitely is. Eventually followed up by Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS (an acronym for "Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence Network System").

Good Kid has "Nomu". When the song was being written, Nick used to sing "Nomu nomu nomu good time" as placeholder lyrics in the chorus. These were misheard lyrics from "Mogu Mogu" by Dopeness, which says "Mogu Mogu Mogu good time". Thus, the title ends up being a Development Gag — it's also fitting for a song that's about miscommunication.

The Goonies: "Goonies" isn't a pre-existing word and doesn't offer any clues as to what it means. In the film, it's a term used by the main characters to refer to themselves, residents of the Goon Docks neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon.

In RWBY, all four-person Huntsman and Huntress teams are referred to by borderline-nonsensical acronyms formed from their initials which are always pronounced like real words but never even come close to the proper spelling. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang form Team RWBY, which is pronounced "ruby," causing confusion between the team and the character. Even weirder examples include Team CFVY, which is pronounced "coffee," Team SSSN, which is somehow pronounced "sun" (and for good measure, the team leader is also named Sun), team CRDL, which is pronounced "cardinal," and Team STRQ, which is pronounced "stark."

Beck uses several madeup words for album and song titles. Most are Portmantitles of actual random words ("Sissyneck", "Whiskeyclone Hotel City 1997", "Readymade"), but "Odelay" is effectively made up (variously claimed as a corruption of the Spanish interjection "Órale" or a pun on "oh, delay").

Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel has two actual words out of seven, and one of them is rather obscure. The other five words are specific to the franchise, so while It Makes Sense in Contextcontext Ar Ciel is the name of the planet the games take place on; the "knell" refers to the fact that the planet is on the verge of death at the time of the game, and the protagonists are out to prevent that. "Ar tonelico" refers to the three towers used to power song magic used in the game's setting, and "Qoga" is the in-universe language's word for "end", signifying the end of the trilogy., it's so nonsensical otherwise that NIS America had to put out a press release simply to explain what the blithering hell the "jumble of seemingly random letters" they named the game means. (Of note is that the original Japanese title was Ar tonelico III: The Trigger of the World's Demise Pulled by a Girl's Song, which at least has the decency to tell you that it's the third game in a franchise and gives you a brief synopsis of what it's about. NISA changed the III to "Qoga" hoping that it would prevent turning off people who thought the first and second games would be required reading, but ironically it seemed to have made the title more unapproachable. It should also be noted that a good part of the fandom agrees that "Qoga" is a poor choice of a word to signify "end" due to the heavy implications that the word belongs to a dialect spoken solely in the region where the second game takes place, and which has zero speakers or ways to be learnt in the region the third game is set in.)

xkcd mentions in its FAQ that it doesn't stand for or really mean anything, and was chosen due to being an unusual sequence of letters which is easy to search for. note To clear up some of the UNIX-heads out there, no, it's not the CD player program. That one's KSCD.

Kamen Rider OOO (pronounced "ohs") is explained in-show as an infinity symbol with a third loop in it to represent "beyond-infinite power", and it also puns on "oh" being the Japanese word for "king". The series also does this to lampshade the ongoing Kamen Rider gimmick of multiple mix-and-match forms for the hero - each form has three modular parts, head, arms and legs, and interchanging them means adding together the names and sometimes parts of the names of all three parts to provide a way of referencing each form. Just to confuse things further, body part names can come in either Gratuitous English or regular Japanese. For starters:
The default TaToBa form refers to the Taka (hawk) head, Tora (tiger) arms and Bata (grasshopper) legs.
Tora arms can also be part of RaToraTah form, made up of Raion (lion) head, Tora arms and Cheetah legs.
Another form, SaGoZou, refers to Sai (rhinoceros), Gorilla and Zou (elephant). And so on.
Kuwagata (stag beetle), Kamakiri (mantis) and Batta = Gatakiriba, the green, insect themed form.

While the game itself does not have a Word Purée Title, despite Thracia being incredibly game-specific, one early translator for Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 misinterpreted an error in Chapter 11x's original Japanese title, マーダーホレス (MÄ�dÄ�horesu)note ãƒžãƒ¼ãƒ€ãƒ¼ãƒ›ãƒ­ã‚º (MÄ�dÄ�horozu), or even the direct translation of the intended meaning, "Murder Holes", 殺人ã�®ç©´ (Satsujin no ana), would have been more appropriate, as the name of a medieval siege warfare Taking You with Me tactic, resulting in the utterly absurd "Blind Idiot" Translation title "Murder Hollace".

Endro~!, short for "End Roll," itself short for "It's too soon for the end roll." The show starts where a normal swords-and-sorcerers fantasy series would end, plays fake credits ("end roll"), then launches into a comedy reboot of itself. But good luck figuring all that out from "Endro."

Rock N Rolla is spelled like a stylized version of "rock and roller." It's a fictional underworld term used in the film, and is juxtaposed with one of the main characters, who is a literal rock and roll musician.

Usually the Ultra Series is straightforward, naming their series and the title characters Ultraman [noun]. Not so with Ultraman Geed, as "Geed" requires some explaining. It's originally derived from the character's motto, "Jīttoshite temo d�nimo naranē!" (roughly translated, "Sitting around doing nothing will get us nowhere!") Later in the series, Riku also claims that it stands for "Gene Destiny"; with the "De" reversed to symbolize how he is saying Screw Destiny in regards to his family history (though the context suggests that he might have made up "Gene Destiny" on the spot because he was too embarrassed to admit to the motto explanation at that moment).

R100's title is a play on Japanese film ratings. A rating of "R100" would be a film that is unsuitable for audiences under 100 years of age. Within the film, its own supposed director states that no one under 100 will like the film.

Since the early 2000s, Super Sentai has often shortened its team names from "[Theme]ranger" to just "[Theme]ger". Sometimes this is a legitimate pun: "Hurricaneger" and "Abaranger" are portmanteaus of "Hurricane Ranger" and "Abare Ranger", "Goseiger" is a punny respelling of "Goseija", "Ninninger" and "Ryusoulger" sound like "ninja" and "soldier", "Kiramager" combines "Kiramei Ranger" with "mage", etc.; but other times there's no real reason for it (and still other times, they stick with the longer "ranger" suffix anyway).

COGASM were a supergroup consisting of Robert Smith, Jason Cooper, and Reeves Gabrels. They got their name by mashing together the first two letters of each member's last name... But it's probably not coincidence that it also sounds like a portmanteau for "collective orgasm", especially since the only song they produced ("A Sign From God") was written for the soundtrack to Orgazmo.

The Genesis album Abacab, along with the title song from said album. As for where the title came from, it came about when they were recording the title song; they had three different musical sections (sections A, B, and C) and would arrange them in different ways. At one point, the way the sections were arranged spelled out "Abacab", so they decided to use that for the title. (The finished song ended up having a very different arrangement of sections.)

The manga/anime as a whole is technically called "�プテピピック"/"Poputepipikku," a meaningless jumble of phonemes that only achieves Word Salad Title levels of coherency through Gratuitous English.
The Stylistic Suck skits in the anime (animated by AC部) have the equally nonsensical title of "ボブ�ミミッミ"/"Bobunemimimmi", which is translated as "Bob Epic Team" in the English dub.

Metroid is this, though there is some disagreement as to what exactly the constituent words actually are. Some say it is partly derived from "meteoroid" or "asteroid" to evoke the outer space settings, some say it is partly derived from "android" to evoke Samus Aran's Powered Armor, some say it is partly derived from "metro" to evoke the artificial and/or subterranean settings with "-oid" being used as a suffix meaning "similar to" (i.e. similar to a metro).

FLCL, pronounced 'fooly cooly', is a meaningless phrase that "sounded English" in the creators' opinion. Many people falsely interpret it as a slang term (or onomatopoeia) for groping a woman's breasts (probably from how Naota's father was going on an insane rant about the name while his grandpa was making the hand motions of kneading bread, and Naota responds by saying he's too young to know that). The in-series explanation is that it's short for "FLictonic CLipper-Weber Syndrome", which is apparently the name of the disease that causes things to teleport out of Naota's head (which Haruko just made up on the spot).
