I think of a cool word in English, look up its Dwarf equivalent in the language file, and use it as a nickname.

Alternatively, when I want to name a dwarf, I skim the language file for cool sounding names and pick one for him.

I generally name champions so that I can pick them out when sorting through them in the squad menus. I also name dwarves that do interesting things like wrestle to death the giant olm that ate the mayor and her husband, as well as those that randomly like wyverns or demon spiders.
