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?
