Default Re: Slightly OT - Interesting planet names

I like my alien worlds to have alien-sounding names, but I also like to be able to track what order they were colonized in.

I'll (usually) name the homeworld something similar to the race name, then go down the alphabet with the same consonant-vowel pattern.

For example, when I'm playing my Rrurrr, their homeworld is Rrur, and the colonies are Ssys, Ttat, Vvev, Wwiw, etc.
