This Planet names Planets will be given 10 different names at random by this name generator. Most planets simply have a code assigned to them; very few actually have names. This generator, on the other hand, will generate random names that are similar to those of the planets that already have names by drawing inspiration from well-known works of fiction and the planets that already have names. However, there are a lot of names, some of which are better suited to real life, others to a particular kind of planet, and so on. In either case, there are numerous options.
