Naw, that's only suitable if it's human-habitable. :)

Well, if it's not human-habitable I don't care about it and it can just be Regulus b or whatever.

Bad episode of "Enterprise" AND bad series.
Braga is dead to me.

Kepler-22b, for now. Maybe Galilea or something, if it proves habitable.

See, this is why New Englanders should not be allowed to name things, or we'll have 25235 planets called "Terra Nova" like there are 20 cities in the USA alone called "Springfield".

Don't be silly.

Some of those planets will, of course, be New Terra Nova.

Not Helpful.

I see no problem with geography salad.

Easy: Dave.

All new planets will be called Dave.

Of course, eventually some crackpot will introduce tonality into English to try and differentiate between Daves, but the basic idea will stick.
