How about Cardassia Prime or Ceti Alpha V? A little Star Trek won't hurt.

Jay Lark, who nominated "Albertus Alauda," said he chose the exoplanet name to honor his late grandfather.
"It is his name in Latin (Albert Lark)," Jay Lark wrote in his submission to the contest. "My grandfather passed away after a lengthy and valiant battle with cancer; his name in Latin means noble or bright and to praise or extol. I think this is an apt description as my grandfather was a noble man and bright of character, and in this nomination I wish to honour (extol) him."
