Among the other gods you forgot Njord
In Norse mythology, Njörðr is a god among the Vanir. Njörðr, father of the deities Freyr and Freyja by his unnamed sister, was in an ill-fated marriage with the goddess Skaði, lives in Nóatún and is associated with sea, seafaring, wind, fishing, wealth, and crop fertility.
I appreciate the idea of coming up with a cool name. However, I kind of like the idea of this planet being unknown to the outside universe. Meaning the planet would have no name until someone managed to make it back to civilization. I'm sure the precursors and other stranded had different names for it, but if no one is left alive, how would you know.
It's called the Sea Dragon Pit, it is where we put the people who cause thread necros
I see no problem, at least it's an on-topic thread necro. And the the planet is still named quite uninspired by it's scientific designated planet number
I would probably stick with a Mongolian name, since the game already has a few Mongolian/Chinese-based things, such as the Ancient Earth Blade and the Yin-Yang Carving, or the bacteria being called Kharaa (Mongolian for curse: kharaal). In addition, the Degasi was a Mongolian vessel, so there is a clear theme.
Chinua - Blessings from God (Paul Torgal referred to the Floating Island as a Godsend)
Dzhambul - Fortress (given that the Quarantine Enforcement Platform prevents leaving the place)
Nergui* - No name
Ezguirekh ni* - Desolation (referencing ships being destroyed in orbit)
Orgon Dalai* - Vast/Wide Ocean
Yul - From the Far Horizon (referencing the range of the QEP)
*Names have umlauts that change the way you pronounce it normally.
If they are going to choose a name for the planet then the naming scheme is most likely going to follow the same naming scheme as say the Degassi sea base.

Actually i quite like Nautica.

YEEEEEEEUP (Sorry still in caps coz xbox 1 update)
I get the reference... thank you for your time reading this. So get out before I turn on the atmosphere!
That name doesn't seem to make sense. I think 4546b is fine for now, or at least one of the top suggestions.

Back in the day we had this map called ns_nancy. One of the Hives was lacking a location entity, so we all called it NO NAME
Planet Sea.
