Not to mention all the books, etc.
Really, it's not hard to find precompiled lists of this sort of stuff.
One could start at someplace like http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant
for Star WARS (not Trek) stuff and probably scale up to a very large size
with all the names, places, planets, etc.
In the old days (pre-Web), it was actually a lot harder to come up with
a comprehensive naming scheme.
