Often, fictional extraterrestrials have bizarre names with Z's, G's, and apostrophes. So it should come as no surprise to any Science Fiction viewer that the planets, moons, stars, and other celestial objects from which the aliens hail carry on this strange tradition — despite the fact that they still use the Latin alphabet and their names can still be pronounced by English speakers?note Or Spanish, or French, or really any language that uses the familiar Latin alphabet. Most of these planets use lots of "weird" consonants (ones that are often utilized in Scrabble Babble), like X, K, Z, Q, R, and N. Given their underuse in regular words, using them in alien contexts works all the better for writers. Among other variants include planets that follow the "X-tar" or "X-lar" pattern. A few planets have names that end with "-i". Often, they're Punny Names. Sometimes, it becomes a Brick Joke when a planet like this is first introduced, then finds itself used for Scrabble Babble (as mentioned above). A Sub-Trope of Law of Alien Names. Compare Numbered Homeworld and Naming Your Colony World for other ways to name a planet. See also Xtreme Kool Letterz and A Villain Named "Z__rg". Descriptively named planets go under Descriptiveville. |

The eponymous K-PAX from the book series by Dr. Gene Brewer. The K-PAXian visitor/possible mental patient "prot" also calls his planet's two suns K-MON and K-RIL, discusses the planets FLOR, NOLL and TERPSION, and refers to Earth in his own language as B-TIK. The all-caps spelling of planets, stars and constellations is also part of their naming convention, while the names of individuals and most locations smaller than a celestial body are left uncapitalized. | |

The late and ever-iconic Krypton of the Superman and Supergirl comics is one of the most famous examples. Krypton, however, has a Greek root and means "The Hidden", as in 'cryptic', 'cryptography', and for that matter: 'crypt'. It is also the name of a chemical element (No. 36, a noble gas). | |

Rita Repulsa and her crew, when making some monsters to combat the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, would sometimes comment that they had done well in committing genocide on a certain planet named like this. Presumably those planets were the galactic equivalent of Ruritania. Other planets mentioned in the Power Rangers series as a whole include Aquitar, KO-35 and Xybria. |

Green Lantern: The planet H'lven has produced a number of Green Lanterns, the most famous being C'hp and his successor B'dg. The local inhabitants have tech at a similar level to that of earth and resemble earth squirrels. The planet Zintha is the homeworld of a Green Lantern who requested special dispensation to remain on world because her people developed a culture that was very against interstellar travel after barely surviving an interplanetary war. Zintha is also orbiting a living star, as in an actual living creature acts as their sun. |

Escape Velocity Nova have many planets and systems with names like Tre'ar Zalom, Z'precti Hem, Ver'ar Noriout, Nil'ar Kemorya in the east and northeast. Granted this is because of the way the Polaris speak. In Override, the Crescent region of space features worlds (and systems) named Gazdair, Azdgari, Igadzra and Zidagar, with the last two being homeworlds of the eponymous factions and the first two having been homeworlds before they were devastated (the Azdgari system is still the capital, more-or-less, for the Azdgari, but they reside on the moons of the planet Azdgari instead of its surface). There's a reason they share the same letters: Gadzair was the original homeworld for the species, and when internecine conflict devastated it, the survivors decide to split into three separate factions with a Council manipulating things to keep any one of the factions from fully defeating the others. |

In Krypton No More, Superman and Supergirl have to protect Xonn (a planet located in Cygni-Gi system) from an Alien Invasion. In War World, after appropriating the eponymous super-weapon, Mongul headed straight for the Raydor galaxy. In the Pre-Crisis universe, the survivors of Krypton settled in a world they called Rokyn (meaning "Rao's gift"). It was featured in The Krypton Chronicles and other stories. In her Post-Flashpoint series Supergirl visits a world named I'noxia. In Way of the World, Supergirl must free a planet named Krall from an alien overlord. Legion of Super-Heroes'' member Timberwolf comes from a human colony on the mining planet Zuun. Substitute Legion member Stone Boy hails from the planet Zwen.

A famous example is Planet Vulcan from the original Star Trek. The Klingon home world, in their language, is spelled Qo'noS. Apparently, the letter "K" does not exist, and humans pronouncing it as "Kronos" and even "Klingon" are just the closest we can come to it. |

The planet Marklar from South Park. This also the title of every noun on Marklar. As one could guess, much smurfing ensues. | |

Each level in Ristar is a planet, and Freon (according to the actual Scrabble rules) just barely qualifies. | |

Stellaris: By default, most empires in the galaxy will not be humanoid, and many will name their colonized planets this way. They may be nonsense words, but they are appropriate to species type: a name like "Zuppox" suggests the buzzing mandibles of Insectoid Aliens, "Fixash" is appropriate for the scaly hiss of the Lizard Folk, and "Riblagga" might be spoken through the tentacled mouths of molluscoid aliens. | |

Features heavily in No Man's Sky with such worlds as Gorogohl, Sayall, Achaia, Yaasirj, and Ikdlak. Even a few star systems get in on the fun with such charming names as Xonnas, N'glik, Toniberli, Oaster, and Ethaedair. | |

Babylon 5 has Z'ha'dum (also has apostrophes!), and in The Technomage Trilogy, the Rim planet and Shadow/Drakh stronghold Thenothk. Of course those familar with B5 will know that Z'ha'dum is really an homage to Khazad-dûm (along with boatload of other nods to LOTR). |

Happy Heroes has Planet Xing, at least in English materials that actually use that name or "Planet Xingxing". The Miao Mi dub averts this by calling it "Star Planet" ("xing" means "star" in Chinese). | |
