Planets won't work well, simpson characters we'll run out very quickly.... umm.. forgot the rest. We were looking for something that makes sense to the function of the box itself and scales up (as per some other folks point)....
With 726 episodes in 30 TV seasons and 11 feature films, it's very difficult to run out of Star Trek characters. Not main characters, though.
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. ...
