In another thread about moon formation, I had brought up the current theory on how our moon was formed: A mars-sized planet smashed into the early Earth, and the moon was formed from the swirling detritus resulting from the impact. I had followed up by asking, does this Mars-sized planet have a name? Phobos answered that as far as he knew, it “has no name. Let’s name it!”
So…any suggestions?

Jack Dean Tyler.
Eric the planet.
Um, how about…
Cecil?
(with the question mark, of course)

If not, I’ll just save that for my firstborn son. 
C’mon, people, these are old people names. Planets are named for gods no one believes in any more. How about Baldur?
I gotta go with Uter von Schloufenhagen III.
(note: put those little dot thingies abouve the U in Uter, and the o and a in Schloufenhagen.)
Duh, you’re supposed to make is spacey-sounding. That means using ‘q’, ‘x’ and ‘k’.
I vote Kyquanx.
Failing that, Squoodle.
The Land of Bacon
I doubt we would have a shortage of astronauts with that name.

Planet Steelypip. (Oh, please, why not Steelypip?) It’s from Stanislav Lem (poss. Stanislaus?) “The Cyberiad”.
Or, if that won’t do, maybe it’s the planet of the Clangers? (U.K. children’s T.V. thingy.) Admittedly, they seemed bit too nice, and going peacefully about their own business-y to go smashing into anyone, but “Clanger” does sort of sound as though there might have been a bit of repressed aggression going on there. They may have had very traumatic experiences in early Clangerhood that caused them later to express their desire for revenge in this way.
Or we could just call it Qwerty, and blame all of our human typing errors upon it. (I leik thatt idae to.)
As the dawn of a new era of space travel, I think we need to be more humble. I always liked, ‘Third Rock From The Sun’

My first reaction to the question was the inevitable Cecil reference, but Connor beat me to it. So, how about Galactus, of Fantastic Four fame?
Yoda or Yogurt? A dilemma for the ages.

Krypton.
tyrannis…
Thor…
or, to be accurate, Mjollner.
Damn! You took my answer.
Playtex.
That way, when Buck Rogers goes back in time to explore it, the episode will be titled “Buck Rogers meets the Blonde Bimbos from Planet Playtex.”
