When I play a space game, there usually is a nametag above every planet.

If you don't see it, go to your telescope preferences, ui overlay settings, enable nametags.

We didn't know this before we had the James Webb telescope. Now we have enough resolution to read the name tags.

My dog Enaipo wants to hump it, and it looks a bit Russian. He named it.
