    Three styles of planet names

    “Classic” gives names in the style of science fiction worlds, such as Kytelis or Rhonaria, now and then with a number for the planets of one star system, as in Eredus VII. “Alien” gives short, strange names with rare groups of letters and apostrophes, such as Kzuun or Vr'oth, for the home worlds of other species. “Exoplanet” names planets the way astronomers do: the name of the star from a catalogue, such as Kepler, WASP or Gliese, then a letter from b onwards in the order the planets were found, as in Kepler-592 c or Gliese 865 b.

    The names of the real planets and dwarf planets of the Solar System are left out, so a classic name is never Mars or Ceres. Set “How many” up to 50 and click “Generate new” for the next names.

Use the names for a novel, a space game, a tabletop campaign, a star map or a school project; the exoplanet style is handy when a story should sound like real astronomy. The names are made in your browser and are the same in every language.
