Kitschy sci-fi suggestions

Postby OrangeEyebrows » Sat Apr 04, 2015 6:35 pm

Does anyone have a cool idea for a name for a kitschy sci-fi heroine? Think 1950s "Planet of the Nazi Ant Queen" type stuff. Like, if it was a hero rather than a heroine, he'd be called Dick Danger.

Edit: Forgot to say - the books titles are going to be "Space Oddity", "Stardust" and "Spiders from Mars".

So, the planning for this series is rapidly spiralling wildly out of control. I'm going to need more titles as well - at least another six. Ideas so far are "Intergalactic Christ" and maybe "Rocket Man" (although maybe not, as all the covers will feature a woman). And...those are the only ones that don't totally suck. They don't have to be song lyrics. Maybe famous lines from sci-fi films and TV? Or video games? Would "Space Invaders" be a good title? It's sort of retro-futuristic, if that makes sense.

Man created logic and because of that was superior to it. Logic He gave unto me, but no more. The tool does not describe the designer. More than this I do not choose to say. More than this you have no need to know.

Moonage Daydream.

Actually, you could pick so many sci-fi titles out of that song (EG. Electric Eye)

Qinglong, I love Venus or another planet name as a Christian name. Thanks!

Doods, I don't know that song. Going to look up the lyrics now!

Edit: Whuh...it's David Bowie. HOW do I not know that song?

Another edit: I like "Space Invader" and "Ray Gun". Thanks, Doodiferous one!

Titles, huh? How about "Vaginal Victory on Venus"? "Menstrual Mission on Mars"? "Period Problems on Pluto"? "Lunar Loving"? "The Uterine Utilitarians of Uranus"?

...I may not be helping.

EDIT: "Sultry Sirens of Saturn"? "Hedonistic Heathens of Helios"? I'm pretty sure I can do these all day.

Trust me, when it comes to kitschy space stuff you can't go wrong with David Bowie.

All the other planets are associated with masculine gods, so we'll need to make some changes.

Mercuria Mason
Marcella/Marsha Moonbeam
Jupiterra Jackson/Johnson
Saturnia/Saturna/Saturnina Starshine
Urania Aphrodite
Neptunine Numena
Plutona Cosmosoma (Cosmosoma Plutona is the actual name of a moth!)

Some non-planet ideas:
Angela Andromeda
Aurora Australis
Electra Capella
Nova Knox

This is fun!
