I recommend you research ancient egyptian gods. I don't think anyone is using them atm...

[TimMartland]

Cherno

That planet would be a hellhole

How about Lanyru (Its a small reference, doubt many of you will get it)

[Albert VDS]

Raxacoricofallapatorius

Let me 1up your long name with a longer one: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Or some serious ones:

Arrakis

Abydos

Chulak

Delos

Eriu

Ignes

Kheb

Langara

[TimMartland]

Arrakis....

Kudos to you man. That book is a classic

[Orionkermin]

...Lanyru...

Isn't that something in Zelda? I want to say one of the goddesses possibly.

[R0cketC0der]

I'm probably the most uncreative person in this world so I can't think of any name myself, but I suggest you look at this thread.

If I recall correctly she was the goddess of wisdom.

There's also these names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_Star_Trek_planets

Don't know if it would step on any toes due to copyright and all that BS, but perhaps pay homage to some classic sci-fi:

Duna is already a reference to Anne McCaffery's Doona

There are 78 planets in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series

Here is a list of lists of sci-fi planets

[DoToH]

One from my very first space simulation game, back in 1980's: LAVE

[KaBob]

A few years ago I programmed a random name generator that uses language rules to invent new names. You can use it if you want original names instead of names taken from random sci-fi stuff =p http://pycosites.com/index.php?cmd=rng

Veryus

Kamasil

Geridio

Lumaris

Ulita

Kerbis

Emferibio

[Moon Goddess]

I think the first clue before making names is the think about the history of who named them, where did they draw there inspiration

So the first thing I would do would be create a believable mythology, then work from there.

[Ristse]

have your smallest body be Osirus

[Talisar]

Arrakis

Arrakis....

Kudos to you man. That book is a classic

Along those lines:

Giedi Prime

Caladan

Ix

Salusa Secundus

Tleilax

...and many more, just from the first of many, many books in the series

[Victus]

[Deadpangod3]

*desperatly rights down possible ideas for different names of planets as fast as possible*

[Deadpangod3]

And so it begins, Coder versus Planet to decide the planet's template.
