I like the pedigree on "
New Albion" and all, but a couple more options come to mind. (For personal preference, I've never been that fond of "New" names, but that's just me.)
Besides, if we follow the standard pattern for planet names in our system, planets, in English anyway, are named after specific figures (Roman mythological figures usually in our system, except for Uranus, which is Greek and its moons, which are fairies from
the Tempest, but I digress...)
As a side note, I like Zurak's "
Derceto" just fine and will, like as not, be stealing it for my totally unpublished sci-fi story. Thanks!
Another choice for a whale-themed system name is, of course, "
Jonah" or, to stay with the Arabic naming of the system "
Yunus" which is Jonah's name in the Qur'an.
Other whale-themed mythological figures include "
Sedna" (a Polynesian goddess), "
Yu-Kiang" (a Chinese half-whale sea god) and, going back to the biblical theme, "
Leviathan".
If one wanted a less mythological bent, "
Ahab", "
Quequeg" "
Pequod" and "
Ishmael" might make decent moon names for the Jovian-sized world.
No recomendations, just throwing out some options to see how they... float?
