What would you name the new planets?

I thought all of you here on ATS might like this refreshing topic. With the discovery of new planets which is really excting to me I thought that maybe we can give the new planets names right here on ATS.

Be creative, They can be serious or comical or whatever..Use your intelligent brains like I know you can!!! Lets see who gets the most stars.

MODS..If I didnt place in the correct spot could you please relocate to its proper home..Thank you

try BTS, It depends, on if there is life on the planet, and if it is intelligent, then it is up to them.

Or if the planet belongs to another race, then we can only create an earth name for it.

My new Planet if i discovered on would Be Mun-Kee-Buhs 1

I'd name them.

Oscitate.

Seriously now:

I'd probably name it "Excession" because I'm a Banks fan. It sounds better than OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb at least. Which doesn't really roll off the tongue terribly smoothly.

Yep...



And if not, something with one syllable...

Fun question...

I suggest that since all of the planets in our solar system have names from roman or greek mythology, we should now move on to the nordic mythology!

Lots of great names here, these are the "top 10" of the norse gods:

1. Odin
2. Loki
3. Magni
4. Thor
5. Baldur
6. Freya
7. Ragnarok
8. Asgard
9. Tyr
10. Valkyries
