Some random planet/world name generators
Apologies if I’ve posted many articles about random generators, they seem to be the most popular, so here’s another!
Here are some useful links to random generators for naming your planets/worlds/realms, ideal for sci-fi or fantasy games:

Planet name & description generator

Similar to above, but with a description of the planet, to give you ideas about the location. Here’s some examples:
Planet Name: Akafar
Location: Furaka System
Description: An extremely hot planet. Mostly desert but with some small seas in the northern and southern hemispheres. The equatorial regions are too hot for most species, and so the only settlements are situated in the extreme polar regions.
Planet Name: Gollanta
Location: Imdali System
Description: The homeworld of the Bixirari species. Sprawling mega-cities cover much of the surface, but the planet is also known for its silicon-based lifeforms and damp climate.

National Colour | Lime green |
Official Name | Xix’bykidos |
Current Government type | binarchy – government by two people; diarchy |
