Actually, a few have got nicknames in various press releases:
* 51 Pegasi b = Bellerophon |
If memory serves me correct then planet Bellerophon was featured in Joss Wendon's Firefly, it may not have been shown as it truely is because I recall it being a giant Oceanic-world in this TV show & may be much different to the real 51-Pegasi planet |
Its an older reference than that. Bellerophon was the name of the colony ship that was lost on Altair IV in "Forbidden Planet". I imagine its even older than that, though.
