      The planets in our solar system are named after Roman gods. Any new planets would probably be around other stars, so it would be quite appropriate to name them after gods of some other culture. Therefore I would name it Ukko, the god of sky in Finnish mythology.

      Tatooine. Or Alderan. Or Omicron Persei 8.
