The Tau Ceti one would be named "Barbarella", of course!

I'd have gone for Urras and Anarres.

I want to be all up in this business. God made a wonderful universe; why shouldn't I have a say in deciding how it is named?
I'm in science to discover and analyze God's wonderful universe, not gripe about how people don't like God.  I believe the creation/evolution debate is a waste of Christian brains (we have them, believe it or not) that could be better spent on making actual things.

Favorite philosophers (out of the ones I've personally read): Jesus, Solomon, Marcus Aurelius, Immanuel Kant

I figure we should do this Age of Discovery style. You get to name a planet if you travel there and plant a flag.

Yes, that means Neil Armstrong can rename the Moon.

He could, if he were still alive.

Crowd sourcing names has gone awesomely in the past.  I'm hoping for a name that's up there with old Mr splashy Pants.

That would be a nice idea, but only if you can be sure that Internet nerds and the YOLO crowd don't get on board. Do we really want a planet named after somebody's body parts?

Eh, let them. It's a big universe.
