Planet names (a lot of them)

If you play a human then I guess all the planets would be named from a human perspective. So what would we name them? I guess we would keep using our already established naming convention of naming them after Gods. I'm sure across all of our cultures you could find 500 names of gods great and small. This could even help give some flavor text for each planet, with a little about the god and why it is relevant to the planet. The cerberus system may be a system with three suns, and the planet Posiedon may be a water planet?

Greece has just under 100 to get you started:

Then there is Roman, though obviuosly some of them are already in use:

Then for some less obvious choices there are other cultures like Maori and Mayan who have some great names:
