Such an amusing, yet odd question. You couldn't name a planet any old thing. And what it would be named would have to depend on so many factors---the color, the characteristics, etc. That's how at least some of our current planets were named. So I doubt I'd have a name for one until I studied it all over, because I'd want a name that would fit.

Ooh, yes, there is a lot to take into consideration.

Usually, planets outside our solar system are named after the star they orbit-- like Pollux's planet is called Pollux b. So unimaginative... (The planet is the setting of my original novel, and I had the people who live there give it their own name. X3)

Pollux b ... **imitates ALF.** BOR-ING!

Oooh, that's awesome to set your original novel there and have them give it a better name. XD
