My wife's name. Whoever she is, I would name a world after her.

Aw, how romantic...

[sulcharae]

let's just hope that for her sake it's not a gas giant.

You know? I was thinking the same thing about my husband...whoever he is..but I have dreams about someone im married to(in my dreams)named brian so ...I guess id name the planet..brian!

[sulcharae]

Yeah, it's romantic and all, but i couldnt see myself naming a planet after my partner. Who'd want to live on "A.J."? no one would like me.

[wanderingbhikkh]

You too, hmm? I had a vision of my wife recently, floating hypnogogic between sleep and wakefulness...just a flash of her, and I thought, "oh, you're the one? ...cool. Can't wait."

I feel like Claire DeTamble now.

You know, I read that book. It was ok.

[omgzjessie]

unlike the other answers ive seen.

[wanderingbhikkh]

Thank you, Jessie. I liked yours as well.

...seriously, Egts?

[mnemonicer]

Something literary and/or mythological. *shrugs* Classic. Can't really go wrong. Like, oh, I dunno, Miranda.

If it helps, I keep naming planets after you in my hoary space westerns.

"Set a course, ensign. We're bound for the forbidden planet...Brandi ---!"

"...sir?"

"Some cartographer's girlfriend or something."

[mnemonicer]

You do not!

[wanderingbhikkh]

I do. Your name makes a great planet name. Quirky enough among a constellation of "Ceti Alpha V" and "Wangsteron" but still believable.
