(...) I had been under the impression (as in just assumed) that LEGO made up cool-sounding names from scratch.

(...) They shouldn't be to far away... I bought all six sets at the start of the month. I am not particularly impressed with them though. Grahame (25 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.nz, lugnet.loc.au)
