I am trying to write some fluff about my Knight House and am having a massive issue with coming up with a good name for the planet the House is located on, alongside its sister house and the Forge World that it is aligned with. Any thoughts? Any at all?

Balanor V

I would look at what group settled the planet and what resource/purpose the planet serves. If it is an important world to the ecclisarchy pick a pseudo religious one. A normal or hive world, pick a name that matches the culture there, if there isn't a distinct culture default to a pseudo Latin name.

At last resort fo look up a fantasy name generator and keep hitting refresh til you see something you like.

When in doubt, "Eroticon VI" is the only appropriate answer.

I find that if you find classical or historical connections (for isntance, if the planet was the site of a major civil war, you could name it after an ancient nation that had a huge civil war), then it's far easier to create a name.
