I scanned the first 5 pages of the forums and didn't see anything on what people like name their planets, so I thought I drop a thread on it.
smaller pq's I would just use their given name. But most of the names on larger worlds I like their name to be descriptive of what I use them for, like for my research planets being named akin to Memory Alpha, Beta ect.
I like to name my primary ship production planets Forge World XXX, where the Xs could be any short name to tell them apart.
as for trade planets I like to name them after merchant ship names like Trader's Paradise or The Four Winds.
Anyone else have fun naming their worlds too?
