Chinese names for newly colonized planets

[Lu]

It's sci-fi, the planets don't have to be named just like China would name them, they just have to be named in a way that everyone, including the Chinese, think that's a cool and still somewhat plausible name for a planet.

I think Changtian, Tiangu xing and Tianshang xing would work. Don't forget the xing after Tianshang.

[Hofmann]

Here are some other possibilities:

Corporations get to name the planet for their sponsorship: 搜狗星, 快可立星, etc.

People try something funny: 他媽的星

They do something generic: 甲星, 乙星, 丙星, etc.

They name planets according to their location, similar to how provinces are named: 衛南門二星 (Orbiting Alpha Centauri), 衛巴納德星 (Orbiting Barnard's Star), 衛老人星 (orbiting Canopus), etc.

And pinyin:

Corporation planets: 搜狗星 Sogo planet (Sougou xing), 快可立星 Quickly planet (Kuaikeli xing).

Something funny: 他媽的星 Tamade xing (this means Fvcking planet)

Something generic: 甲星 Jia xing, 乙星 Yi xing, 丙星 Bing xing (meaning Planet A, Planet B, etc).

According to location: 衛南門二星 Wei Nanmen'er xing (Orbiting Alpha Centauri), 衛巴納德星 (Orbiting Barnard's Star) Wei Banade xing, 衛老人星 Wei Laoren xing (orbiting Canopus).
