So I was bored over the weekend, and a huge nerd (for much more than the weekend), so I collated a bunch of 40k data into an Imperium Style namelist. This list isn't quite a 1:1 mapping with established Imperium ship names, as instead of listing the few dozen ships explicitly named in various books under the appropriate class I decided to make it a bit more organized. Each 'class' of ships has a set of rules for what names fall under that category. So for example Corvettes are named for greek or latin virtues (both in English and 'Gothic', which is essentially either correct Latin or stylized 'fun' latin), while Battleships' names are more in the style of God-Emperor or Saints. I included most of the 'real' ships I could find on Lexicanum (I wasn't going to spend 5 months reading through my several hundred strong selection of books), and made up more names, trying to keep true to the style of 40k. Any ship names I found that don't fit the criteria became 'generic'.
I also went through the list of planets and selected any with data on it (the majority has no info on them as they just mentioned in passing) and put them in the appropriate slots. I also selected planets with no geographical info, but cool names or interesting back stories. Most Forge worlds I put in as Deserts or Arid worlds, Agri worlds became Continental in most cases (there are plenty with data that contradicts that classification), Desert and Ocean had their own classifications. Tundra were rare, but I selected the coldest planets that weren't Ice Worlds. Jungle became Tropical (and an interesting note is most 'habitable' Death Worlds were of this variety, Catachan, Cretacia, Fedrid, Pythos). Death Worlds with toxic atmospheres I excluded as they aren't habitable by Stellaris standards, ditto for Dead Worlds (regardless of whether Tyranids, Exterminatus, or Necrons are responsible). You'll also notice Holy Terra isn't on the list, that's because you are supposed to start there.
And because I am a nerd with nothing better to do I also went through a bunch of different name lists (Chapter Masters, Inquisitors, Saints, Soritas, Guardsmen, etc) and picked the most interesting and thematic ('Gothic') names. I also put in some examples of 'full_names' like Silvana the Pius (where the second name is more a title than a name) or Sven Icewalker. You can add more depending on what you want.
I'll probably do more work on station names and such later.
Feel free to use this as a starting point and modify it for your own purposes
