What, Norse pantheon not disco enough for you? Or do you just disapprove of the name Thor for a planet?

I disapprove of using the names of any major gods as a possibly colonizable planet

"Hey guys, I'm heading out to *insert major well known god here* on the next cargo freighter, wish me luck"

Names like Endeis and Tholen just fit better

Instead of bickering about the name, think about this. Xenomit, you have 3 chances of finding an advanced animorphic civilization that could potentially capture you as a slave. Your dreams could come true.

lol, I haven't even considered that.

Hopefully a super advanced race of furries will catch onto what we're doing and attack earth. I would immediately and eagerly volunteer to be a sex slave for their armies.

I see your apology and raise you a "my bad" I can see how aliens using the internet to name our planet in some sort of parallel universe can be funny. Sorry for the butt-hurt.

The difference with them is not only are they already named and no one would want to change them (I think most of them are kinda bland) but they're in our own system, so they're more important, thus they get names of more important entities, not to mention that most of them can't be entirely colonized, and planetary terraforming is a long ways away.

Honestly, I actually prefer making up an entirely new name for stuff like this. Auladuria. That sounds nicer than anything I previously mentioned, and I just made it up off the top of my mind.

I'd just like to point out that with current space travel technology, it will take between 200-400 years to cross the distance of 22 light-years.

Travelling to Mars is much more likely and has the added bonus of possibly happening within your lifetime!

The point of colonizing other planets isn't about our lives though. It is about allowing our species to continue existing if we ever come to the point when we still exist but the Earth is dying. Or at least that is what it SHOULD be about. But countless idiots seem to think it is about their own well being and an excuse to be allowed to fuck up Earth more before moving on to another world to do it again.

so much for "there is no planet B"

though to get real here I don't deny the possibility of inhabiting another planet as a species (while completely throwing off any potential eco-balance and fucking things up over there) but I still think it'll be a while before we actually find some sort of way to do so.

I always wonder about breathable air. Nothing dictates it would be oxygen based. On a side note life on either planet won't necessarily be carbon based. Lastly we have to consider wild animals kill indiscriminately. We'll basically drop ourselves into a hostile planet we know nothing about.

Almost everyone jumps to the conclusion that "potentially life could exist" means that they're gonna be in some way -at least- as advanced as us (I'm not referring to people who make jokes about this). Really there'll likely be a bunch of microscopic germs if anything at all. Anyway, I like the name Auralaria.
