How about these:
- The Pernicious Serpents that Prosper in the Putrefaction
- The Pitiless Judge of Crimes Forgotten
- The Egg of Dazzling Darkness

Me and my friend are writing a cosmic horror setting, so I've got some experience with EA names. Most of these are the consciousness of a planet, that's kind of one of the setting's gimmicks. Any planet with sapient life has its own consciousness.
Some of them have no known names, such as the Mother (a Deity of Alien Origin) and the Stranger(the implied God of the setting, with passive reality warping). Some are anagrams or derived words, such as Cyluna (the parent of a race of Humanoid Abominations) and Jiryu(the most different dragon out there). Others are based on fiction or mythology, such as Gaia (Earth, duh), Yggdrasil (ruler of the galaxy, a World Tree) and Balrog (keeper of the setting's Library Of Babel). Some names are completely invented, such as Gandael (the story's Disc-One Final Boss and an Omnicidal Maniac).
And when in doubt, go for The Adjectival Man, or an improper noun. The Stranger has the most innocuous name out of these, and it is by far the most powerful.

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.
