Planet Names

[Infocalypse]

With the short list of planet names, it would actually be better, if planet names would remain Starname II or IIIa for moons even after colonization than to have the same planet name five or six times scattered through the galaxy, or at least give the option in the game settings to do this. It is extremely annoying to get an event for planet XY and having three planets with that name in your empire.

I agree that the option should be there. I myself like would probably go with that option and personally rename the more important planets, like core planets for example.

In a few other 4X games I've played, usually when you found a new colony, in the alert for it it allows you to choose a name and gives a default. Stellaris could give such a prompt and maybe give the random name die button to press if you don't want a technical name such as "Starname II" but not creative enough come up with one of your own. But at the moment, you can always change you planets', stars', ships', etc. names whenever you want.
