Guess you got me there. I guess I'm trying to say we should keep naming them according the that mythology. I thought you meant current Judeo-Christian/Muslim/etc figures. MY badliamlemon7 said:

We already have a decent naming system but if someone wants to nickname habitable planets something (like the earth is known as earth but is now technically named Sol 3) then we should use the chance and honour some scientists, think Einstein, Pythagoras, Plato etc, or name them after gods/things from norse/roman/greek mythology.
But we are living on Sol 3.Skeleon said:
The person who discovers the planet, shoudl choose a number from one to twenty six, each one will linked with a letter of the alphabet in no particular order. The said person must choose one of the numbers and is given the letter it corrisponds to. they must then flip a coin
Heads- A smart/sensible name
Tails- A rude/vulgar name
Furthermore, in the unlikely event of the coin landing on its side, the planet must be removed from existance to prevent further arguments of its name.
Im sure if we abide to these rules, all will be well.
Alternatively we could call them Earth.2, Earth.3, and so forth.

Derek, Collin and Gertrude.
Come on, Gertrude is better than Uranus, you know it in your heart to be true.
Only messing, I like the whole Godly names they have currently.

I think we should name the next one "Insert Funny Name Here".
Not JUST for selfish reasons. I think itd just be funny

I think it makes sense to name them after the star they orbit (i.e Mercury would be Sol 1 Earth would be Sol 3) n stuff because i think most other methods of namign would cause confusion
EDIT: Sorry i forgot how to count again earth IS sol 3

This was primarily greek gods and a hero. There are plenty more heroes and minor deities. And then there is Rome as well.
