Ever wonder what placenames you would use if you were colonizing a planet? I'm not sure I could resist things like Seattle 2 and New New York.

That's a great idea! Just please decide on a definition of "continent" and make any extracontinental land masses part of a different naming scheme, rather than just grouping them with their political parent's continent's theme.

Hm, Well, I think I'd name the continents with a scheme that would provide subnames for various smaller landmasses near them, and areas like the Pacific would probably get the satellite names, and have a central name that was equivalent to "Oceania". Hm. And Easter Island would be something silly.

"Land isolated from any significant land mass which is surrounded completely by water where there are bunnies who hide eggs for good little Christian children (and any children enrolled in public schools) to find." That would be an awesome name.
