TOP TEN NAMES NOT TO GIVE TO YOUR PLANET

by Hazed

Sure, there's lots of planet names that would be against the rules, but discounting those leaves a whole bunch that wouldn't be a real good idea - either they'd put players off from visiting, or they'd be tempting fate. So here's the player's ideas for names not to give to your planet.
1. Three Mile Island - well, Chernobyl seems to get a lot of fusion generator explosions so imagine what could happen here!
2. Forest Lawn - people would come but they would never leave.
3. Bathroom - you might get a lot of visitors but they would just mess up the facilities then leave without spending any money.
4. Bermuda Triangle - another planet people would come but never leave.
5. Dullsville. Or Borington. Or Tedium World.
6. Umbrella - that would just attract the attention of the Weathermen.
7. Raxacoricofallapatorius - it may be an homage to your fave sci fi TV show*, but nobody would ever type that name to visit.
8. Z341968395 - anything with lots of numbers is equally unmemorable.
9. Sol - it's been done.
10. Arlene - nuff said.
