StarControl Forums
We are in balance mode for Star Control: Origins and part of this process involves placing hand crafted planets to help with late game pacing.
Since we are hand placing them, we're hand naming them too.
If you have a planet you would like to name, feel free to suggest them here. No promises but if they are fitting, we will do our best. 
Hi. A few out of my head. (Edit I added 20 more)

I am not familiar with the Cthulhu mythos, but I picked some planets from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_places_in_the_Cthulhu_Mythos
9. Abbith: It is inhabited by metallic brains, wise with the ultimate secrets of the universe
10. Celaeno
11. Glyu-Uho (or Betelgeuse)
12. Gnarr-Kthun (black hole)
13. Haddath
14. Kr’llyand: a green star and a dead one (likely a black hole or a brown dwarf)
15. Mthura: Dark planet inhabited by crystalline beings
16. Nyil-yath Rho: An ill-omened dark star with horrible past and future.
17. Tindalos: A place exited on Earth far in the past or a far-flung planet orbiting a black hole
18. Xoth: green binary star where Cthulhu and his ilk once lived before coming to earth
19. Yaddith
20. Yith The original homeworld of the Great Race of Yith
21. Yadoth
22. Yuggoth (yeah I know it's Pluto but in SCO maybe it could be somewhere else?)
Y Ddraig Goch - should be a red planet
Albion Gwiber - should be a white planet
Tannin
Vritra
Tiamat - should be a blue planet
Fafnir - should be a gold planet
Midgardsormr
Yu-Long - should be a green planet
Crom Cruach - should be a black planet
Just to be clear: We have no problems coming up with names for planets. We just want to see about putting in names that mean something to you guys.
Utopian/Dystopian novels have given some great names:
Andymon (1982)
Begum's Fortune (1879)
Erewhon (1872)
New Amazonia (1889)
Lost Horizon (yes, that "Lost Horizon") (1933)
Sultana's Dream (1905)
Faremido (1916)
I'd love to see one or more of the above make their way in.

1. Henry's Fall
2. Arrakis
3. Theuron
4. Helix
5. The deep
6. Flora's world
6. Outpost 87
7. Gaia's Breath
8. The testing ground
9. Subject 175e
10. Turmoil
11. Oversight
12. Beacon
13. New New Zealand
14. The folly of the anointed
15. The Rim
16. Targoth's teeth
17. Richard-in-the-sky
You should totally have the star system Omicron Persei (if you don't already) and give it 8 planets, labeling the 8th planet Omicron Persei VIII. I think this would be a fun easter egg
In honor of a friend of mine who passed away on the 21st at the age of 30 due to a heart condition, please consider adding the world of Saracco
I am on an Amiga kick after the Workbench screen shot, so if it is not too late:
J-Major
J-Miner
(Second one intentionally spelled.)
Please add the world Gougherty in honor of a great friend of mine who passed away from liver cancer.
If we are adding recently deceased friends and acquaintances of founders... Spencer.
Josh Spencer died earlier this year, he created the Interstellar Concordium of the Star Fleet Universe. The ISC were the inspiration for the Xindi of Star Trek: Enterprise. As usual with anything touched by the SFU, "It ain't easy being Rodney Dangerfield" and so he never got any credit for that. It would be nice to name a star after him:-)
If you skip to 8:30 of this video you can see Josh talking about this...
