Okay, so a while ago, I encountered this exoplanet LTT9779b, which is an ultrahot Neptune, meaning it's about the size of the planet Neptune in our solar system, but it orbits its own sun, LTT9779, a red dwarf, at a strikingly close distance. One of its 'years' is about seventeen hours duration our time. As a consequence, it rains silicates and liquid titanium within its atmosphere. This means that its reflective albedo would be incredibly high if we were in its planetary system. And then something clicked.

A shiny 'happy' planet, eh? So should we start an International Astronautic Union write in campaign from Buffy/Angel fandom to get it named Jasmine?
Or would Illyria be more appropriate, given its somewhat ferocious surface conditions? Any other suggestions? Glorificus?
 
My answer to your question Altoz, is no.

So is that in response to my Illyria suggestion for the exoplanet's name, or Jasmine/Glorificus suggestions as well, Illyrian?
I love Glorificus. Jasmine is cute too some teachers used to think my name was Jasmine so I would like it.
 
Hmm. Perhaps we could reserve a whole exoplanetary solar system for Buffy related world names?
Dawn, then Buffy and its satellites Angel, Willow, Oz, Tara and Xander, then Angelus and its satellites Darla, Spike and Drusilla and Cordelia, then Lilah, Glorificus, Illyria, Jasmine and Lindsay?
