If we're going by Columbus logic, probably "Jupiter"

Can we get to Jupiter through Earth? No, but at least there’s beaver.

Meat Packing Facility #173

The call it "Dirt". There was a misunderstanding with the word "Earth" and it got translated to soil or dirt, so they picked "Dirt".

Class 13 Death World

Translated to English, probably “Name-of-Star” 3, as in 3rd planet from our star, same system as Star Trek. The key difference is Columbus had no idea where he was going, and aliens have to know exactly where they’re going. Can’t shoot into space and find a planet by accident.
