I'm pretty new to fantasy writing, having only just decided to really actively pursue it, so sorry if this is a stupid question...
How do authors generally go about naming planets? The story I am working on involves a world with seven moons, and requires names for both the world and the moons. I did some research on the names of planets and moons in the Milky Way (so pretty much all the Greek ad Roman names), so should I just look up other Greek and Roman names? I'm sure there's not a simple or singular answer to this, but I'm a bit lost as to where to begin. Any advice on places to start would be super appreciated!
