Create a name that belongs on your star map
Decide whether the name comes from astronomers, settlers, or inhabitants. A survey designation, a hopeful colony name, and a local name tell different stories about who gets to describe a world.
Pick one physical feature that affects life: long nights, rings, a shallow ocean, or a dense atmosphere. Let that detail guide the sound without making every name a literal description.
What to look for
- Separate a scientific label from a familiar name.
- Compare neighboring planet names aloud.
- Check whether the sound fits the setting’s language.
Do not present a fictional name as an astronomical discovery or official designation.
A useful starting brief
A distant planet with two moons and violet oceans
The generator currently uses curated names and rule-based combinations. Your brief helps select themes; it is not processed by a language model. Use these ideas as a starting point and check real-world usage separately.

A question worth asking
Are these officially recognized astronomical names?+
No. They are creative ideas for fictional settings. If you are writing about a real celestial body, use the designation and naming references maintained by the relevant astronomical authorities.
