You want to call it Planet Image Hosted By Tripod?

Anyway, how come no-one's suggested Neo Terra?

Planet Doom.  Especially suitable if it's quite a nice place, like for going on holidays and such.

Turnsky beat me to it! PLANET BOB (from the cult of the subgenius)

   Actually even if it had life on it, if we were technologicly superior we would enforce whatever values we wanted. That includes naming it... Humans are like that, look at the Native Americans. Three was no such thing AS a Native American until columbus claimed an INDIAN contenant and then only the settlers born there could be considered "native Americans". I don't know the various indiand names but I am sure they simply called the US "the land" or something along that vein...

   Sorry but to me that is like one of the greatest insults you could inflict upon a people, taking away their identy and forcing them to adopt someone else's values.

(Warning South Park reference needed to decipher rest of post)

   How would you like it if the Marklars came here and started telling you how your Marklar is no longer Marklar, but rather should be called Marklar. See? YOU wouldn't think it's very Marklar of the Marklars to rename YOUR marklar right? You'd be like "Hey you Marklars! Get the Marklar off our Marklar, and take your stupid Marklars and stick them up your Marklar!"

  I rest my case., er, I mean Marklar! :p
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

W00T with the South Park, original ground-breaker and still funny.

Even if we find a habitable world tomorrow, Mars is still out of the question and leaving the solar system is at least half a century off.  I say, until we can get there, don't bother to change the default NASA name.
Can the reason that we fear the unknown be that we know ourselves too well?       -The Outer Limits

Hey man, how you going? Yeah, I might stick around for a while longer. Every now and then I've been checking the boards to see what's been happnin.

...the person who first realized the planet was there'd probably name it. Alternately it'd probably get "##Name of Star## Prime" until a bit more was known about it, and a more suitable name could be chosen.


Nice idea...

Yeah, but what about all those stars that don't have a convention name like HP185763, etc...?
