Writer's Block: Heavenly Bodies
I've named a few planets in my would-be sci-fi. Shiva and Ushas from Vedic scripture. Tamar, which is Hebrew. Sidhue, which is a corruption of "sidhe", one of the Celtic words for faerie. Beta Bootes, named for the star and the constellation. Agilla, named for the Aquila constellation, the eagle.
I probably would call the planet Bast or Bastet, in all seriousness. If I wasn't serious, I'd call the planet BFE. (Bum-F*** Egypt.) I just think it would be funny. "We're sending an exploration ship out to BFE.", "No, they don't live in on Earth, they're in a colony all the way out on BFE."
