We use a “Space Objects” descriptor here for our large format plotters and printer naming . . .
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Like:</div>

<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Blackhole</li><li class="">Nebula</li><li class="">Galaxy</li><li class="">Aurora</li><li class="">Meteor</li><li class="">Asteroid</li><li class="">Fireball</li><li class="">Supernova</li><li class="">Star</li></ul>
<div class="">etc. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Should provide enough fodder for naming for while. Also fairly generic and can get obscure if you want to.</div>

<div class="">Just to get you all started . . .</div>

Nope, there are probably plenty left. But we stopped using them because there<br class="">

We already had a latin american name: Copiapo.<br class="">
