Name THAT Planet Round 5

It has grown very fast.

I think QQ-001a would be a great planet to get a name. Since it is manufacturing focused, maybe something like Eli, named after the inventory of the cotton gin. Or maybe some other inventor in the manufacturing industry.

Thanks for all the new suggestions! Looks like we’ve got plenty to work with so let’s now start the poll for which planet will receive a name! Later we will vote for the actual name like all the times before.

  • KC-765c
  • YK-649b
  • QJ-149c
  • XD-354b

I like the idea of naming [Current winner] planet mc planetface

Well, since, rather suspiciously, Kerfyland is in the lead, perhaps it’ll be PlanetMcPlanetface…

Since it might be LG-913e I suggest “Helius” or (jkoking) Helios Kerfy as a naming alternative.

If you want to stay closer to the Kinza region (berberian name) then you could go for - Imazighen - as I read the self description of berberians (with the meaning of “free”) .

Also - Gigantika - for its size would be a good name.

Or something with cold temperatur like - Frostwelt - , - Berderius -

Why not add numbers ? Like Imazighen II or Gigantika V ?

I like that we’re not using numbers for the planet names. In real life, we don’t refer to Earth as “Sol 3”. In fact we even have unique names for individual moons.

That was one thing that always bugged me about Star Trek. I realise that they have to keep things simple for the viewer, but if they followed the usual Trek naming convention to its logical conclusion then we should have been Humans, from the planet Hume, in the Hummus system.

Several good planet names from Larry Niven’s Known Space novels: Known Space - Wikipedia

  • Jinx
  • Oceanus
  • Kobold
  • Fafnir
  • Kzin
  • Margrave
  • etc…

because ZV-307c is the new manu planet insteat of Phobos, i would call it New Phobos

If we ever name ZV-307c I propose that the name should be taken from greek mythology. Phobos, Deimos and Harmonia are all siblings in Greek mythology, and Nike is the greek goddess of victory. To remain on theme for the region we should really pick another figure from greek mythology.

A good naming candidate in my mind would be Ares - Phobos is the god of fear (of war), and Ares is the god of war (and courage), making them somewhat counterbalances to each other. Another possibility would be Eris, goddess of strife and discord.

Thanks guys for all the votes! I’m pretty sure this round has been the highest voting round yet! It was a very close race but LG-913e has claimed the right to have a name! Here are the current suggestions I have and please feel free to suggest any more before the final vote!

  • Kerfyland
  • Helius
  • Helios Kerfy
  • Imazighen
  • Gifantika
  • Frostwelt
  • Berderius

I think naming it Ares would be a little strange, since lore wise, AI came from Mars, which is the Roman version of Ares. So Ares already exists back in the Sol system

Gigantika (pls). Otherwise it sounds like someone with braces…

I think Planet McPlanetface was suggested… as a general name, alongside Jinx, Oceanus, Kobold, Fafnir, Kzin, Margrave.

early concerned voters I guess… regardless of the final results I will always consider the Planet KerfyLand … :slight_smile: A magical Land of bouncy castles and helium balloons and pioneers that speak in high pitched voices …

You’re gorram right it is

:smiley:

I may or may not have also voted as such.

If it’s good enough for a scientific vessel, it’s good enough for a planet.
