Naming Your Planet
To christen a world, think about:
- What environment—ice, desert, ocean—defines your planet?
- Do you want a scientific or fantastical tone?
- Should it hint at its primary feature or element?
- Would a numeric designation (e.g., Prime) add flair?
- How does it roll off the tongue in narrative?
