I'm trying to write a sci-fi book and I need help with some names.
I need a name for:
parasite
disease parisite causes (causes humans to black out with vicous adrenaline rushes)
the planet (its suppposed to be the first planet colonized other than earth so something that has to do with hope or refuge)

Thats pretty much it i'll edit it if I think of anything else.

EDIT:
Ok so now I need a name for a government that governs all the planets together. So far there's is only a small number of planets colonized.
I need a name of the, how do I put this, the central planet. Sort of like Washington D.C. The capital planet.

You are free to make constructive criticism.

Also a big thanks to Thorax tehGREAT for the planet, Shatakai for the disease, and Nemihara for the intelligent and helpfull response.

Let me forewarn you that if you thought I would just give you a few quick names for you to take, you were wrong. Instead, I'll tell you how you yourself can think of some names for your story.

For your parasite idea, I hope it's not going to transmorgify into 'the Flood'. One of the biggest cliches in sci-fi is making zombies. No matter how it's done in the story (alien parasite, super-soldier experiment gone wrong, etc.), they are zombies, and you are using them as a cheap way to make your story scarier and more interesting.

In the idea you have now, though, it's decent. You could always name it after some random doctor's name, such as Alhzeimer's Disease. It really depends on how your characters talk. If it's clean and formal, then you want the name to be likewise. If they were military officers, scientists, or politicians, speaking formally is pretty much necessary. If they speak roughly and coarsely, make the name of it crude but descriptive. Think of it as the lingo that is spoken in the real world. When people drink too much, they are called 'intoxicated' by technical terms, but everyone just says 'drunk'. Even though there are hundreds of different types of the disease, most people refer to it as the umbrella term, 'cancer'. That's the great unknown for me, but you should be able to figure out quickly how to make a name out of that.

For planets, I really wish people would get over the 'fad' of naming planets poetically. But since we already do that for REAL astrological bodies, I suppose it can't be helped. And if you make the name forebode something, you're giving away the plot; i.e., a planet called Troy gets destroyed.
And I swear, if you add a number to a planet's name, I will murder you. The amount of stabs is directly correlated to how many extremity-digits you append. It's squared.

How about the planet, "Mars 2.0".

They aren't going to be like the flood, the blackouts are random and temporary and they return to their original state after a while.
Thanks :)
