If you were given the choice to name a star, planet, moon or comet, what name would you give it?

(Sodahead should add a Space & Time category because this doesn't fit in any of the categories)
I mean real or creative names that would fit the celestial body, since naming it is like giving it respect of its existence and its own beauty.
7 of the planets in Tanor's home galaxy Solana, are named Orxon, Pokitaru, Gaspar, Oltanis, Veldin, Hoven, and Kerwan and these are just some of them.
Tanor's home planet Oltanis has three moons: Elsen (The Equatorial Moon), Olmen (The Arctic Moon), and Ulnus. (The Antarctic Moon).
The star it revolves around is Alpha Heterus, named after The Moth.
One of the biggest comets in the Heterusia System: Ágánas, The Ice Titan. It's 1.1x larger than even your Comet Holmes, which is bigger than your star. Fortunately our Ice Titan only orbits the system every 100,000 years. The last time it passed was 2661 earth years ago.
So I want you to try and be creative, because if you were actually given the opportunity to have one of the celestial bodies named by you, it's a great honor really. Since, they don't give this opportunity to just any one. One of these honors is actually discovering the planet or other body, if it hasn't already been known about it. (Chances are it is known about, but never gotten to it.)
So, I want to ask what your creative names would be for one of the four celestial bodies, unless you want to give a name to a galaxy, black hole, asteroid, etc. =)

Moons eventually die, since they're either pulled slowly towards the planet they orbit and the Roche Limit pulls them apart or pulled away by the Red Shift. Jupiter and Saturn had more moons than they do now, but what's left of those moons are in the rings. :) Phobos is being pulled into Mars too. =)
Because there brains were sucked into it.
Planet: There was an unnamed planet that sadly got destroyed by a black hole, it never lived long enough to get a name, since it was far from any inhabited planet, and this planet did have people, but they long since died off. I named it: Mávra.
Comet and Moon, I named those above. :)
