Make a procedure that randomly combines some text of your choosing, then sets the display name of the item to whatever it comes up with. (There's tools for this in the 'text' tab, you'll want to create a local string variable for the combined text, then set the item's name to that variable.) You may also want to check if the item is named so that the name doesn't constantly reset, or just make sure this only triggers once.

If you wanted to be really fancy, you could add custom localization entries and reference those for your item name, so the mod could be translated, but it's not strictly necessary.
