Hera’s kinda taken -- see Juno (for a while considered a planet, not classified as one any more). Hence my suggestion of Oannes (I’m pretty sure it isn’t taken).

Excellent. The original was Persephone, though, so only partial cookie for you.

I know it's not a binary planet, but I wish we could give it a suffix like some stars get.

Calibos Prime would be a sweet planet.

Actually, "unda" is better translated as "wave." "Aqua" is Latin for "water."

Excellently corrected.

And as for your terminally childish sig, remember, you can't spell "conservative" without "con", and at least that one's actually a word within a word. Tsk tsk tsk.

Caesaria? Or Napoleonia? I like the first one.
"Atlantis" would be a good name, considering the nature of the planet in question- but then it would forever be associated with the Stargate spinoff.

All right, all right, we got our obligatory digs in, now let's cease the threadjack and get on with the business of naming.

Yeah... Starvation, Greed, Corruption, Totalitarianism, if that's what you mean.
