If you discovered a new planet what would you name it? I think I have the perfect name for a new one. But let’s hear yours first.
Planet Bob. Can’t go wrong with Bob.
For something slightly more dangerous sounding I’d go with Planet Evil Bob.
For a more exotic name, maybe something like Panet Bukkake would be cool.
I like “Bob”. Good name for a planet. “Bukkake” sounds like it might be a little slippery. Or sticky.
Another good name for a planet would be “France”.
If I had to name it today, I would name it Spawn after the children in my house, who are surely not my children. They have been switched with the spawn of Satan.
Eliza. If I found a planet I’d name it Eliza.
Planet #7179771 - M-Class.
Or planet Pimp-a-licious for short.
DaLovin’ Dj
Claire.
“Planet Starbucks” (and a cookie to the first person who gets the reference)
Along those lines, we can also expect Planet Hollywood and Disney World…
Planets are typically named after Roman gods, guys!
I’d go with Dionysius, after the god of wine and orgies.
I wonder if I could get him to be patron god of the SDMB?
Wasn’t that from Futurama?
The Planet of the Scantily-Clad, Jogging Aerobics Instructors.
** George**
When William Herschel discovered the first new planet since antiquity, his first thought was to kiss royal butt by naming the planet after then-king George: Georgium Sideris. Cooler heads prevailed and gave the new planet a mythological name:
Uranus
As a result, the planet has now been the butt (Ha!) of jokes for a long time. I say it’s time to fix this sorry stateof affairs. The next planet that comes in, we name George instead of something that our descendants will find smuttily amusing.
You got my vote. 
The presidents car would be a slammed black Q45 with a plate that reads “FIRHAT”
What? No one has mentioned Rupert yet? Unbelievable…
Don’t get the ref. Sorry. 
I didn’t want the cookie anyway…
But how did you know I would make a Disney World? 
Either that or um…it would be a <blank> world for quite a long time.
I think they featured that one in an early episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Remember? The one where the Irritating Boy falls in the flower bed and is sentenced to death? Man, if they’d just let the Joggers kill him we would have all been spared so much heartache…
I vote for PLANET X.
Possibly, but that’s not what I was thinking of. Also mentioned in the same line was “the IBM Stellar Sphere”.
Oh, I just figured out a new world! Placebo World! All its male inhabitants look like the members of the band Placebo. I don’t know what the women would look like. Hmmm…maybe like Brian? Oh, and all music would be Placebo music…And the drinks would only be um…don’t know…I know it would be Red Bull and some alcohol…Can’t remember 'cause I don’t drink…(Don’t I sound idiotic?)
Yes, I need help…
I gather you’re not a fan of Titicaca…
But it would actually just be flavored water…
Janet O
Yes, I bet you do. When a Janet wants to name a planet, the result is somewhat predictable!
