[QUOTE="Orius, post: 9311946, member: 8863"] That's not too bad. There's a few names that have some very bizarre letter combinations, but there's some better results here. And I can alter a few of them by adding or removing letters so the names eventually look "right" to me. I'm not too worried about how many sentient species are around to name things, because the "standard" name will be more or less the usual human name for the planet. I'm leaning towards more hostile sentient species anyway to provide plenty of conflict and fewer playable ones because of party balance issues. A generic alphanumeric system of nomenclature isn't out of the question, but it makes it harder for me to distinguish between different worlds. Or remember them. I put a few of these on my list but I don't want them to be common. But yes, I've considered worlds named after people with a starship hold filled with credits, egomaniacs, corporation names, explorers with no creativity, things like that. There's also the various sorts of obscene names, but I may avoid that in as a matter of good taste. [/QUOTE]
