1.) Take the book of first names, and select the one you are fond of.
2.) Take a World Atlas (Google Earth will also do) and pick a city, town, river, mountain, etc. you fancy. They are not going to sue you for using their name.
3.) A font could be named after almost anything: a cartoon hero, pop icon, present or ex-lover, pet parrot, natural disaster, even an irrational number (eg.: Pi). The only condition you can't use a name already used by someone else for a font. Needless to say, one can not use band names or registered trademarks (eg.: Nike, Disney, Apple, Texaco, Lamborgini, HSBC, etc.)
Usually, I work the other way around: stumble upon something fanciful, develop some concep and create a set of shapes to express that. But there aren't any rules in creative design carved in stone. Thus, free your mind, unleash your imagination, and let your creative emotions flow untrammeled.
However, the name Venetian in typography is often (usually?) used in relation to a type of serifed Roman face where the straight line of the lowercase e goes slightly upwards as it goes from left to right rather than being horizontal.
This goes back to an early printer, Nicolas Jenson.

So, maybe not Venetian, yet Venice is in the Adriatic sea, so maybe something like Adriatic Ambience or Adriatic Holiday or something like that. The initial impression just providing a starting point.
Actually, you used 28 characters in the name of the font. As it happens I think that 28 characters is the limit before some (most?) (all?) software packages start having problems with a font due to the length of the name.
When a font has an italic as well, it might be (I am not sure of this) that the space and the word Italic count towards the 28 characters.
