Renaming powers thematically

I'm getting ready to play a Star Pact Warlock and, while some of the power names are OK, I think they could be better...especially if you're taking powers from another Pact.

So I tracked down a couple of resources to help me research the renaming process, like:

Stars Names

Stars and Constellations

Observers Handbook Table

Astrology on the Web: Glossary of Astrological Terms, the Dictionary for Astrology

Astrology Terminology Dictionary

Astronomy Terminology

List of periodic comets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asteroid Name List

So, instead of having a power named "Dreadful Word," your Starlock can instead use "Algol's Revelation", "Frigid Darkness" can become "Voidshroud", and "Dark One's Own Luck" can become "Altair's Blessings". (Personally, I made "Dire Radiance" into "Colour out of Space" 'cause it just sounds cool...)

And if you want to go outside the Starlock's normal list, you can change "Howl of Doom" to "Song of the Void" or "Fey Switch" becomes "Wormwood's Trick".

Anybody else do likewise...with resources?

And sometimes doing this helps you play: "Mirzam's Secret Eye" is what I've renamed "Eye of the Warlock" for my new PC because I can't say the power's regular name without hearing Saga's megahit...
